Based out of Los Angeles, Hall of Fame has tapped the talents of Mitchell and Ness to drop this collaboration collection that includes many of our favorite NBA teams including the New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, and the Washington Bullets. All of the hats are sporting regulation colors with the twist being in the upside down logo embroidered across the front two panels of the snapback hat.

Representing the city of Amarillo, Texas the Amarillo Gold Sox were a minor league baseball playing in the Texas League. The franchise began in 1939. From 1960- 1962, the Gold Sox were a AA farm affiliate of the New York Yankees. A young Jim Bouton earned his stripes playing for the Sox before being called up to the Yankees. Bouton later earned literary fame, penning the book “Ball Four”. In 1961 the Amarillo Gold Sox won the 1961 regular-season title.

Superbowl 46 was all that it was cracked up to be. It had all the components of a great football game, solid defense, good offense, hard hits, and last minute heroics. A Hollywood writer couldn’t have scripted this game any better. A rematch of Superbowl 42, a grudge match between two northeastern stalwarts with great traditon and history. The intense Tom Brady and his New England Patriots versus Easy Eli Manning and his New York Giants, this was as good as it gets. Both teams battled valiantly, exchanging blows for four quarters with the Giants eventually coming out on top. It was a hard fought game and neither side left anything on the field but only one team can win. Congratulations to the World Champion Giants, the reigning kings of the NFL.
