Not if it is on the white portion. It would just be a small accent image anyway.

I'm in...

I prefer the Renault homage....would look good/simple/bold/slightly different than the sea of world stripe caps out there.

Please let's have the graphic on BOTH sides of the bill (pet peeve).

The template graphic work is pretty simple AI stuff...I could do it if someone who really knows what they are doing can't.

Doesn't Walz only print on pre-determined/select styles in cotton, or full print in microfiber??

I have reached out to Walz to see what they charge for design work but haven't heard back yet.
What about Matt H? Would he do it?

All right then. This idea seems to have some merit. We have a dozen or so "i'll take one" comments. We need at least a dozen more.

To reduce the back and forth, I am going to make some executive decisions.

1. The cap will be a three panel cap from Walz. I will see what the options as far as microfiber vs cotton blend are.
2. Cap design will be an homage to the Renault cap in black, yellow and white.
3. There will be simple Paceline logos on both sides of the brim and likely both sides of the cap.
4. There will be a small banana somewhere.

I would be in for one. Maybe a bad question but does Walz do specific sizing or one size fits all? I have found that one size fits all in regards to cycling clothing means it fits anyone under 170lbs, which I am not!

Any interest in a Paceline cycling cap?

I am likewise in for one providing I can get a size for my Massive Melon.

Walz offers two sizes: S/M and L/XL


Walz sizing here:

FWIW, I wear a 7 3/8 hat and I can wear a Small/Medium with no issue. Due to the construction, a L/XL fits me fine as well. It's just a bit looser.

And I really like cotton for a cap, BTW... you wont find another stitch of cotton on me, but I do like a cotton hat.

I believe a small banana at the back of the cap would be apropos.

17 so far. Getting closer.

If we can get to 50, then we can donate $2/cap to the site.
