NerdMerch: Captain America Hats

July 22, 2011

Hats are nice. They cover up bald spots. Captain America is also nice, because he punches Hitler.

Just in time for Captain America: The First Avenger, a pair of new tie-in hats are available at New Era Cap. You can grab ’em at any Lids or New Era Cap store right now, and soon you can get them online, too. Decorate your noggin with hero colors, yo!

If you’re in the mood to be not-so-nice, you can also get the evil Red Skull hat. Some people like villains – and you can feel safe, because there are no swastikas on this thing. It’s all Hydra hailing.

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast. Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs. If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title. If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
