Help Identifying Pirates Hat

6 comments

1. American Needle, made in Bangladesh, with Japanese writing on it. I think this hat is having an identity crisis.

2. this is one of the coolest hats I have ever seen

3. Part of a series call by American needle called “Tokyo Pop”. As you can guess it just says “pirates” in Japanese on the hat. Similarly, it being a series, they made one for every single MLB team. It’s a line that came out around 2012ish. I think it’s sick, and honestly would buy one if they ever re-ran that line.
   For you, in terms of value, probably not much based on recent eBay listings, maybe $30-40 (I’m basing this off of the dodgers version of this hat which no doubt should be worth more) [dodgers Tokyo pop hat](https://www.ebay.com/itm/405746516264)

4. I see quite a few Pirates hats in Japan. Obviously not like the LA and NY hats. But I’ve probably seen a dozen or so.l which is pretty cool.

5. That’s Japanese for “fuck bob nutting”

6. No clue but that is so cool, awesome find!
