Much love for the special starter joint we posted last week. The Starter Flame series was another big one in Glasgow Scotland. The hats were a made in short supply in the 90s, so to find a deadstock one today is something a bit special. They are certainly one of the more original Starter hats out there.
The medley of all mighty ducks snapback medleys. Auctions running on mighty ducks snapbacks from 99 cents, no reserve.
Since Disney still own the image rights to The Mighty Ducks, the team remain the only popular franchise who’s merchandise cannot be re-created under normal NHL licensing laws. Therefore if you see a Mighty Ducks snapback it is always a vintage one. That’s why they are generally the most expensive pieces on the market.
That said, there are lots of fake Mighty Ducks snapbacks on the circuit right now. The colors are off, and they don’t have proper tags. Forget about those.
Back in the 90s there was a wildly popular hat stand on the Argyle market in Glasgow, Scotland. The stand was owned by an enterprising woman who would import some of the most limited snapback hat series from North America.
The stand was known particularly for its big logo snapbacks by The Game. Kids would come to the stand every weekend, pockets chinking, looking for the freshest hats. Some of those fans have amassed some of the most amazing collections known to man. The stand has long gone, but the demand hasn’t. Now 25+ year old Glaswegians nostalgically crawl ebay looking for the hats they were never able to get hold of, or lost sometime in their younger days.
Oddly, the Starter Shockwave, velcro fit hat was another huge line. We only mess with the snaps. So here’s a few new treats for those north of the border.
Cincinnati Reds, Mighty Ducks and Tampa Bay Lightning will be online soon

Classic Starter pieces just in. Original starter logo snapback hats. Clean, black, embroidered cotton twill. Perfect shape, no raised lettering or unnecessary detail.
The Starter Image Collection brings new meaning to the term clean. Instead of filling the front with the team logos/names/both, for this series, Starter just tossed a cool picture on the front.
Just in case the Dolphin on the front of this hat + the orange/green colorway isn’t clear enough, there’s also a neat little team logo on the side too. Starter had a bunch of teams in the series spanning all the pro team leagues, but they were made in only very limited runs.
One of many fine pieces from the Starter catalogue – the Cuban Giants Negro League snapback hat. The Cuban Giants were the first professional black baseball team and became one of the most successful teams in Negro league history. They also spawned some of the coolest merchandise…
