New Era 59FIFTY Fitted – Zodiac Collection

New Era 59FIFTY Fitted   Zodiac Collection

LEO – You are on a roll today, but your intensity can get you into trouble. Even if it feels as if everything is falling into place, you may push harder than is necessary. If you try to make up for lost time, your eagerness could provoke others to resist your progress. Someone might even work to undermine your position just to bring you down a notch. Fortunately, a bit of conscious constraint on your part should ameliorate any bad feelings that surface. – Tarot.com

Chinese zodiac certainly grabbed most of the headline recently since this year is the all-important Year of the Dragon. Not to be completely relegated to the sideline, cap maker New Era introduced the Zodiac Collection for its ubiquitous 59FIFTY Fitted Caps. Distinguishable by the oversize astrological symbol embroidered in white, each of the black wool cap also features a constellation marking on the right panel and the astrological sign’s designation on the back. Available only through New Era Japan at this time, though with the collection’s popularity, we foresee its general release in the near future. via: ZOZOTOWN

Chicago vs. Chicago: Round 1

Meant to post this earlier but I slacked. For those that ain’t learnt, Chicago has got a little bit of inner turmoil. There is not much love between Cubs and White Sox fans. This video of Nick Offerman and Craig Robinson by New Era is some good stuff and can give some insight into our not seeing eye to eye, hahaha. Craig did go a bit too far tho, I can’t wait for the other rounds. ***cough***2005***cough***

Thanks to Jon for the link, even though his team’s stadium doesn’t have running water.
