I'm sure most of you have seen these Brooklyn cycling caps:

I've been looking for a similar cap for The Bronx. I know they exist because there's a picture of a guy wearing one on the front page of the TA NYC Century website (http://nyccentury.org/). But I can't find it anywhere. I've searched online including these forums and I've never seen them at any bike shops. Does anyone know where I can find one?

well the Brooklyn caps are made by Apis; I don't see the Bronx cap there:

You realize "Brooklyn" was an Italian chewing gum that sponsored a European professional team in the '70s... it's not a borough thing. There may be knock-offs like the Bronx hat you've seen but "Brooklyn" ain't about Brooklyn, cappice?

With that in mind, buy some generic hats and take to a t-shirt printer and make your own. If you want to buy them someone else would too.

You learn something new everyday. Brooklyn chewing gum from Italy.
I guess I may just have to make my own then.

The picture is not great, but the hat is Great. Good quality, I got one 2 months ago here.
I got it fast and $8.23 freight included. They are usually $10.23 with freight, I got mine on sale.
