In a little more than two weeks, the 2018 NFL draft will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The league and the host of the event, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, will make sure to turn the event into a spectacle yet again. The key players in the circus that is the college talent selection procedure are just that: the players who will get picked over the course of seven rounds.
At least some of them will enter the stage in Arlington and they will, per tradition, be equipped with a team representing the team that has just picked them. Yesterday, those hats were revealed – among them the New England Patriots' (via USA Today):
New Era, the company producing NFL's hats, has opted to go with slogans and battle-cries this year: From the Patriots' “Do Your Job” to the Cleveland Browns' “Dawg Pound” to the Seattle Seahawks' “We are 12” to more abstract versions like “Niners” on the San Francisco 49ers' caps or “Billieve” on the Buffalo Bills'.
The Patriots' are praised as being among the better hats within this year's draft merchandise – but what do you think of them? Vote below:
