Aquaman "Sub Diego" Hat

sg
This is one of those items that's been in my "To Post" folder for so long I don't remember where its from or who gave it to me (if you are some hopeful F.O.A.M. member whose been crying yourself to sleep waiting, I apologize): an Aquaman "Sub Diego" hat.

The one thing I do remember is that it was called that on the site it was for sale, I guess because it uses the modified "A" that was adorning the Aquaman book during the whole Sub Diego storyline:

Even though I (of course) love the classic 60s logo the best, I thought this version was sharp-looking update of that original idea, and would have been just as happy to see this one be used in perpetuity and on merchandise.

Plus, that "Q" just looks sharp and nasty!


Update: In the comments, newest F.O.A.M.er Benjamin Schultz reminded me it was he that first sent me this so long ago. Thanks Ben, and welcome to F.O.A.M.!

Say, that's a really nice hat, Rob. Do you remember the site where you got it from?

Sorry guys, I don't. I dug through all my old emails to try and find who sent me this but I can't find it. Google didn't turn up anything either. :(

Hmmm, maybe eBay holds the answer to our dilemma....thanks for looking Rob!

Bold hat, that's for sure. And I like that logo, too. Not bad.

Classic logo is my #1 favorite, but like you rob!, this one is a close, more modern second!

I have googled all morning to try and find this Aquaman New Era hat, but to no avail. I'll keep searching because it does look pretty spiffy, but no luck so far.

I had thought for awhile that Rob may not have saved a photo and this baby could have been lost to the internet. Glad to see it made its way up!

The one hopeful thing i will say is that New Era has always had a pretty good superhero hat selection on its site. Hopefully it may make it's way back with Aquamans knew found resurgence.

I had been the one that posted this one about a year ago.

I never got a chance to get one and shortly after letting rob know they took it down from their website. Ive still never seen a person with it or even it on ebay.
