To say we are excited about college football being less than a month away from kick off would be a gross understatement.  We have a feeling that the same can be said for our friends over at Smathers & Branson, and we think the latest addition to their lineup is going to be huge hit at tailgates across the country this year.  Their just released Collegiate Needlepoint Hats ($35) are a great way to show your allegiance, and one lucky reader is going to win one*.

There are currently 30 hats in the S&B Collegiate hat collection, and we are hearing that more will be on the way soon.  Based on a comfortable 6-panel cotton twill cap, these adjustable hats look great the first time you put them on, and will break in in no time at all.  Of course, just like the rest of the Smathers & Branson offerings, the needlepoint work on these hats is absolutely top notch.  To add one to your collection, follow the steps below.  We’ll be taking entries until 11:59PM EST on Thursday, August 9.

You will receive an entry for each of the following:

1. Leave a comment here, and let us know which hat is your favorite.
