A Deeper Look in Q and A Format
When it comes to customs, collectors always want to know which leagues get the exclusive treatment. NHL fans in particular wonder if their teams ever get the same premium New Era love that MLB and NBA drops receive. Here’s everything you need to know.
Q: Does Hat Club offer exclusive NHL designs in New Era caps?
A: Yes. Hat Club releases select NHL exclusives in New Era silhouettes, most commonly the 59FIFTY and the 9FORTY A-Frame. These aren’t everyday items. They are built around concepts, themes and color stories developed specifically for a limited run.
Q: What makes an NHL New Era design exclusive?
A: Exclusivity comes from custom color palettes, logo variations and embroidery details that you won’t find in standard retail releases. Many pieces include unique side patches, contrast visors or special threading chosen to match the inspiration behind the collection.
Q: How often do NHL exclusives drop?
A: Not frequently. NHL designs appear when there is a creative concept that fits the team artwork and when licensing aligns with the release schedule. You’ll usually see them tied to special events, seasonal capsules or surprise-themed collections.
Q: Are the NHL options as broad as MLB customs?
A: No. MLB has far more approved throwback marks and colorways, which makes it easier to produce consistent collections. NHL concepts pop up less often, but when they do, they are crafted with the same quality, attention to detail and custom storytelling that Hat Club is known for.
Q: Will fans see more NHL-exclusive designs in the future?
A: There is always potential. As new themes are developed and licensing windows open, Hat Club continues to look for opportunities to bring NHL teams into the custom lineup.
