Phoenix Suns "Tri-Hit"

My trip to the Valley of the Sun last week was filled with so many top-notch memories which were capped off by my wife taking me to a Phoenix Suns game that we enjoyed with some great friends who live out there. In short, I am just blown away by my wife's thoughtfulness on my birthday especially after having taken me to a New York Knicks game last year!

While I relish the thought of attending a baseball game on my birthday, enjoying a quality hoops matchup in great seats is always welcomed and this year my wife upped the ante by gifting me a sweet Phoenix Suns hat I rocked to the game and am featuring for this week's Fresh Fitted Friday post!

Would you believe this is the only the time I've written about an NBA hat on this blog? Well neither would I but I actually searched the archives and only found this Brooklyn Nets "City Edition" post so now I do believe it!


Even though the Suns were founded in 1968, my brain is focused on those 1990s teams all the colorful snapbacks of that era. I'm primarily a fitted cap guy but the snapbacks played a key role in that era of basketball culture but I think I still prefer the fitteds in this case.

Looking back on the incredible time I had at the game, I can't help but think about how their mascot is just called "The Gorilla" (and sometimes "Go the Gorilla") and how maybe there was maybe a missed opportunity there to revive the "Grape Ape" character from the too short-lived cartoon series from the mid-1970s.

This week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection is not going on the Trading Block however please don't hesitate to reach out if you want any other cap from that list and you are willing to part with any of the hats on my Wish List.

As always, thanks for coming back to read about baseball hat geekery. If you'd like to discuss a trade or simply just chat about hats, please feel free to connect via the following social sites:
