College Sports Fans Can Learn Geography While Tailgating with New Era’s ‘Inner State’ Hat Line

Imagine a college football fan who tailgated a bit too energetically waking up in a strange parking lot. He’s somehow lost his friends and his wallet, and can’t seem to remember where he is or how he got there.

As long as he’s wearing a new type of hat from NewEra, he won’t have to worry about forgetting where he’s from.

A new line of 59Fifty hats, called “Inner State,” takes the mystery out of college sports geography. The hats feature the school logo inside a map of the school’s home state.

A Purdue fan need never again forget his team hails from Indiana, and a Clemson fan will always be reminded his home is South Carolina.

Then again, knowing some college football fans, the hats may do the exact opposite. Surely a couple Rutgers fans will exclaim, “Hey! That’s what the state of New Jersey looks like? Cool!”
