1776 - by Clinker Jay

The 4th of July is probably my #1 hat holiday. We usually spend the whole day outdoors in the heat, so a hat is essential. I wanted to make my own design that I could rock every year. When Clink 2.0 launched, this character was one of my first submissions. It didn't make it out of the Critz, but I've learned a lot since then. So, I thought I'd give it another shot this year with some changes. He's got a determined look on his face. Even though he sees his brothers and sisters exploding all around him, he know he has a a job to do, and he's going to do it for all the fans "ooh-ing" and "aah-ing" below. Even if it means being blown into tiny bits of white-hot magnesium. There's a subtle detail of the flames turning into stars to give this hat a patriotic feel, but let's be honest, people don't need a lot of excuses to light off fireworks, and this hat works for any of them: New Year's, festivals, concerts, gender-reveal parties, evenings at the lake, backyard bonfires, peer pressure or just having too many beers out on the porch. Let's light this baby up!
