The Ryan Express Snapback

CLASSIC Nolan Ryan photo displaying the bloody lip Ryan sustained, after taking a Bo Jackson line drive hit to the face in the second inning. Proving the Ryan Express couldn't be stopped, Ryan refused to leave the game and pitched through the 7th inning. 20 years later here is that legendary image on a snapback done to show support of the historic post season the 2010 Rangers are having.


For Sale.

Brett Favre in his true essence... he'll always be a Packer in our minds. Painted by the Real Jeremy Biggers on a Reebok NFL Green Bay fitted.

LeBron Chalk 2.0 Fitted

We normally wouldn't do this since it's so close to the original LeBron fitted we did a while back, but since it's for UNKO super fan Kenny, (the same person that owns the original) we made a slight exception. Painted by the REAL Jeremy Biggers on a Mitchell and Ness Miami Heat Fitted.

Lady Gaga ♥'s Unkommon Kolor

Fame Monster Fitted painted by Sam... with the Hair on a Black Yankees New Era 59Fifty Fitted.



A couple of weeks ago, a friend of ours asked for a Lady Gaga custom fitted that he wanted to wear to the Gaga concert soon to be in town. Of course, we obliged. What we didn't know is how fanatical he was. Long story short, he drove to OKC, stood in line for HOURS. Got to the front of the stage. Threw the hat on stage for her to wear during her show, and then coaxed the security guard to get the hat back before the end of the show.

J Dilla's Mom ♥'s Unkommon Kolor

Last week we posted a J Dilla hat we made for our friend Aaron Hardin. You see, Aaron is a keyboard player, and he was playing the "DC loves Dilla" show on Friday in Washington DC of course. He wore the hat on stage, and J-Dilla's mom saw it and loved it... Dilla's ACTUAL mom saw the hat UNKOMMON KOLOR did, and LOVED it... do you have any clue how major that is?!?! It's truly AMAZING! Little quirky stories about things like this is literally why we do what we do here at Unkommon Kolor!

UNKO Illmatic Fitted

One of the first hats we painted was the Jay-Z "What More Can I Say" Fitted which was painted on a NY Yankees New Era 59Fifty. Since we had a fitted lying around featuring the "other" team from NY, we decided to paint a Nas album cover and what better cover to use than his "Illmatic"? Arguably one of the best hip-hop albums of ALL time. Painted in just over an hour, this hat is an INSTANT classic much like it's audio reference. Painted by UNKO's the REAL Jeremy Biggers.

UNKO Street Fighter Fitted

Athena battling Alkyoneos Fitted

This detail from the gigantomachy frieze shows Athena grabbing the hair of the giant Alkyoneos as Nike flies to crown her, and is a quotation from the Athena on the Parthenon’s east pediment. This was painted on a custom fitted donning a fist holding a thunderbolt symbolizing Zeus and Athena and the power they weild. Since Athena was born by springing forth from Zeus' forehead after he swallowed her pregnant mother, it was only fitting we put a painting of this sculpture on a fitted... Painted by Sam... with the Hair as a final project in her Art History class... See, we REALLY do this art thing around here.

The Power RANGER Fitted

One of the most cheesy shows of our collective childhood was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. However that doesn't change it's nostalgic value. Do you remember how excited you were you found out they were making a movie? We do, and that's why we decided to paint the Power Rangers movie poster on a Texas Rangers New Era 59/50. This hat is a brand new, never worn, size 7 1/2 and has not been sold. This is one of those rare times where we paint a fitted just because it's a dope idea, not because it's been requested. So, what does that mean to you? This hat can be yours! Shoot us a message info@unkommonkolor.com if you are interested in copping this one of a kind Power Rangers Fitted.

UNKO: Emmitt Smith Broken Record Fitted

For a sports fan growing up in Dallas in the 90s, there was not much better than the Super Bowl Cowboy teams. This is our tribute to "America's Team" and one of the members of the Hall of Fame trio from that era. Painted on a Cowboys New Era x Reebok fitted. For those of you that are unaware, the reference for this painting is the "moment" Emmitt broke Walter Payton's rushing record. Here is a detailed account of that "moment".

THE MOMENT

On Sunday, October 27, 2002, as the Cowboys face the Seahawks at Texas Stadium, Smith is only 93 yards behind Payton's all-time record of 16,726 yards. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, anticipating the record being broken, plans a huge celebration and tribute to Smith.

Even though Smith hasn't run for 100 yards in a game all season, Jones has a banner prepared to be unveiled the moment Smith becomes the NFL's No. 1 all-time leading rusher. He has it placed next to the three Super Bowl championship banners captured during The Emmitt Years.

With 10 minutes to go in the game, and Smith only a couple of bursts away from the record, the Cowboys take over at their own 27-yard line. The crowd rises and begins a cheer that grows louder and louder. This is it, they hope. This is the moment. The record-breaking moment.

"I was totally aware of how much I needed," Smith would say later. "When I saw I was 13 yards away, I knew this was the drive that I was going to do it. I was sure. There was no doubt. With the crowd going crazy as it was, I said, 'This is the time.' I had to do it for them, for everyone."

On first down, quarterback Chad Hutchinson hands the ball off to Smith, who bulls his way forward for three yards.

Back in the huddle, Hutchinson, looking directly at Smith, says, "OK. 15 Lead. On two." The huddle breaks and Smith lines up in his customary position. The clock shows 9:10 left when Hutchinson takes the snap and hands the ball off to Smith.

The crowd, the TV cameras, zero in on number 22 as he displays his signature burst off left tackle, hits a small hole, squeezes his way through, cuts left and finds a seam. There's daylight. Smith bounces off one attempted tackle. He chugs along, running low, running square. He receives a crushing block from fullback Robert Thomas. He stumbles, ever so slightly, over the arm of an opponent, yet he quickly places his right hand on the turf, enabling him to keep his balance and keep chugging along until passing Payton's record.

When Smith is finally brought down, 11 yards later, with the crowd in a frenzy, Smith bounces to his feet. The record is his. Thousands of photo flashes go off in the stands. The game is halted. The celebration begins. Fireworks explode in each end zone.

Smith slowly takes off his helmet and kneels down on the 32-yard line. He then points to the sky for a moment. "For you Walter."
