    It’s the Greatest Redskins Hat of All-Time

    By Jamie Mottram | August 21, 2008

    Considering there’s already a Burgundy & Gold Zubaz Super Bowl XXVI hat in our family, that headline is saying a lot, but this clearly takes the cake:

    That right there is a Hogs mesh hat, purchased by my mother in-law from a street vendor outside RFK Stadium circa 1985. Hogs. Mesh. RFK. 1985.

    Try not to get jealous that I married into this, and follow the jump for a profile and the little piggy tail on the back …

      If only you’d had this before the wedding. You could have worn it to the altar along with Homer Simpsons piggy cufflinks.

      I still say that hat has nothing on the Zubaz.

      I too have one in some closet somewhere.

      But can it defeat this limited edition Ricky Williams knock-off?

      Try not to get jealous that I married my wife for the sole purpose of acquiring this hat,

      Also, thanks for showing me the “envy” emoticon whatlizsaid.

      I love this hat. But isnt this pretty similar to the foam head you were making fun of?

      While that is number one, I present everyone with #2.
