I read this announcement earlier today, and instantly thought of the Poly ... geesh, does EVERYTHING has to remind me about Disney? :mickey:
Chad Owens New Era Cap and Toque Inspired by 'Ohana'
Toronto Argonauts star receiver Chad Owens and New Era Cap have unveiled his 2015 CFL Player Inspired Series cap and toque.
Both the Snapcap and toque are embroidered with the familiar Argonauts ‘A’ at the forefront. On the rear of both hats is the word “Ohana” which means strength and family in Hawaiian. With the help of his brother-in-law, Paulo Manabe, a tattoo artist in Hawaii, Owens created a unique Hawaiian-style pattern that he printed under brim of his 9Fifty Snapback and then also added to the face of the toque. Local Toronto artist, Jack Dii, helped him perfect the design inside the crown of the hat which pictures a hula dancer at the forefront and the Toronto skyline crowding the background of the frame. In Hawaiian culture the hula dance is symbolic and is used to tell a story. According to Owens, it signifies the journey that he and his teammates have taken to come together in Toronto as well as the story that the Argonauts continue to write this season.
