I just find it hard to find a cap that suits my style. But I may have found it with the New Era Pigeon Caps. These babies are certainly cool, and I am seriously considering investing in one. Featuring a pigeon on the front, the caps come in three different colorways. And all the New Era Pigeon Caps have a pigeon accident mark on the back, just in case they weren't authentic enough. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Customized Caps:** Opportunity to create personalized caps with unique designs and logos for individuals and businesses. - **Streetwear Accessories:** Growing demand for trendy accessories like caps and hats to complement the streetwear fashion style. - **Authentic Branding:** Companies can capitalize on the trend by incorporating authentic and distinctive branding elements into their products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can cater to the demand for customized caps and streetwear accessories. - **Promotional Products:** Promotional product companies can offer personalized caps with unique branding opportunities for businesses. - **Sporting Goods:** Sporting goods manufacturers can tap into the trend by creating caps that appeal to the streetwear and athleisure markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Leather Streetwear Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-leather-collection.md) - [Co-Branded Collaborative Cap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/59fifty-caps.md) - [Collaborative City Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paname-cap.md) - [Heritage Baseball Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc-9fifty-cap-collection.md) - [Winter Sports Event-Inspired Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-era-cap.md) - [Heritage Baseball Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polo-ralph-lauren-new-era.md) - [Floral-Detailed Baseball Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakura-pack.md) - [Anime-Inspired Baseball Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-ghibli-1.md) - [Disruptive Fashion-Forward Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bad-birdie-and-four-peaks.md)
