Recently released over at Frank151.com is their Boston Blades New Era fitted. This exclusive FDL™ New Era cap is one of the most innovative yet, with enough details to separate you from the masses.

The Blades hat features the Boston Celtics colorway of course, utilizing a familiar Bostonian font for the “Blades” embroidery across the front two panels, “Boston” block lettering on the back with a lucky four leaf clover in white just above. In addition they’ve also added the extra detailing of black on black clovers in place of the vent holes on each panel. The fitted is going for $45 and can be copped online here.

So we’re nearing the next RIPOFF party.  For this upcoming event,  Computer Club and True Pseudo will be blessing DC with their sets, alongside hosts Houston and Scotbot.  With Houston booking the talent, there is no question this will be another “must attend” event.  If you’re curious, here is a link to some of True Pseudo’s work.  And also follow the jump to hear Computer Club’s NLLR mix.

With a strong continual strong following of the Wu Tang Clan in the US and Japan, Applebum brings a new territory to New Era’s assortment! These were originally done by New Era themselves, calling out territories such as Manhattan’s “Lower East Side” for example, but this time paying homage to the clan with a black and yellow version that reads “Staten Island” in the same recognized font as the US versions. This is definitely a batch of simple but strong fitteds that will be released at Frank’s Chop Shop and at Frank151.com simultaneously! Get your Japan exclusive at the Chop Shop or Frank151.com for $60 each.
