About Us

Hello,

My name is Richard and I am the owner of Script Hats. From a young age, I always loved baseball hats and wore them all the time. Growing up in California in the 90's, I was, and still am, a huge Los Angeles Raiders fan. During this time, Sports Script hats where very popular. Just plain old text, city name in a simple type font, and team name in a script hand written style lettering (the opposite if it was a college team).

You could say the popularity originally started in the 80's with Chevy Chase's character in Christmas Vacation wore a Chicago Bears script hat. For me, the attraction to these style of hats rose with the popularity of rappers like Dr. Dre and Eazy-E frequently wore Los Angeles Raiders script hats. I had to have them, and I did. Aside, from the script style lettering, in California, Old English was also very popular, and other types of text only hats were popular too.

This style of hat seemed to fade away in the early 2000s and made a bit of a resurgence recently, but for me, they do not capture the true nostalgia of the 90's era script hat.

This is the reason I started Script Hats. We specialize in Sports Script style lettering featuring your home city. We also dabble in other font types, especially Old English, and sometimes commit the ultimate sin of using non text base elements in our designs.
