Day 369 / Hat 369: Baseball-style cap with black back and bill, white front panel. Details include yellow contrast tipping on bill, yellow screen-printed star and lightning bolt emblem on wearer's left side of hat black and yellow horizontal stripe on front panel with embroidered black, white and yellow logo that reads "GTS" with a vertical lightning bolt and two stars.
Additional details include interior label that reads "WWE Authentic" on one side and "TM & (C) WWE 2012, 100% cotton, made in China." and interior seam taping printed with WWE Authentic."
Graciously loaned to the Project by Brian Razzano (this earns him his sophomore hat-tip) who told me the following backstory about it:
"OK, so [it refers to] a wrestler named CM Punk and
he was the second most over guy in the [WWE] until a couple months ago [when] he
abruptly walked away from the job leaving a big hole to fill and has yet to
return.
GTS refers to his finishing movie which is
Go To Sleep where be basically nails his opponent in the head with his knee.
He kinda made it cool to watch wrestling
again and is a cult hero after rising the ranks of the independents to become WWE champ. ... So he is a big underdog in a lot of people's eyes.
I asked for it as a birthday or Christmas
gift [because] I wanted to support him. Of
course he left and WWE is starting to discount his merchandise and [he] may never
return.
That hat was probably one of the last
pieces they ever produced for him."
Brian says he did, indeed, receive the hat as a birthday gift from his wife (that'd be Ruth O'Neill) last year.
Now Go To Sleep!
