Negro League Baseball Throwback: 3D Tribute Caps by PAK Headwear
PAK HEADWEAR is sponsoring a giveaway of both Negro League caps featured on its site, each valued at $35, via a “SoJones Forum Comments Lottery”. Every SoJones forum post dated August 8 to August 22 counts as a “lottery entry”. Go to http://www.sojones.com/forums/ for more information. The tribute is a follow-up from Sojones and their exclusive interview (6/04/09) with PAK HEADWEAR’s Founder/Designer, Philip Taylor.
As the founder, it gives me great pleasure taking part in preserving the heritage of the Negro Leagues. Sojones takes an in-depth cruise through the history of both the Kansas City Monarchs and the New York Black Yankees.
As a start-up apparel company, you must be concise in your decisions involving the “initial” bulk of inventory. The two markets (KC and NY) have an incredible following amongst its population in areas of sports, music and fashion. Our goal is to introduce these markets, amongst others, to the roots of African-American baseball, whilst infusing contemporary creativity and uniqueness. We are in the works of expanding our selection of Negro League baseball kaps.
Take a moment to support both PAK and Negro League Baseball by posting in the forums section, giving you a chance to win an authentic PAK KAP. DEADLINE is August 22, 2009. A winner will be selected on August 23, 2009. Stay tuned!
