# Classic Hip-Hop Snapbacks Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps Brings Da Ruckus to Fashion By Matt Ho | Published 2011-10-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocksmith-x-wu-tang-caps References: [complex](http://www.complex.com/style/2011/10/protect-ya-neck-rocksmith-x-wu-tang-hats-coming-at-you) & [rocksmithtokyo](http://www.rocksmithtokyo.com/) If there's a collection of hats that will rep east coast hip-hop, it's definitely the Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps. Normally, Wu-Tang apparel largely consists of the iconic hip-hop group's yellow "W" logo with a black backdrop; most are probably wondering, will the design of the Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps remain the same? Can it all be so simple? Lucky for fans, the [urban brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-planes-1) is putting a bit of a spin for the collection so that it's got more of a collector's feel. There's a wide variety of designs that range from a [camo-themed upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-leather-collection) with the "W" logo to a typography that spells out their song C.R.E.A.M. from their phenomenal 1993 album Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers. If there's any cap collection this season that can bring da ruckus, this is it -- now if only they would release a scarf that says "Protect Ya Neck" on it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hip-hop Fashion Caps:** The Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps bring a new collection of hip-hop themed caps that can disrupt the fashion industry with unique and creative designs. - **Camo-themed Urban Fashion:** A camo-themed design in the Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps collection showcase a disruptive opportunity for the urban fashion industry. - **Typography-centric Apparel:** The typography-centric designs in the Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps collection can create a new trend in the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Apparel:** The Wu-Tang Caps collection can become a new line in the fashion apparel industry. - **Hip-hop Merchandise:** The collection can become a part of the hip-hop merchandise industry that sells products based on hip-hop culture. - **Streetwear Fashion:** The Rocksmith x Wu-Tang Caps collection could disrupt the mainstream streetwear fashion industry with its unique and hip-hop themed designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Hip-Hop Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphop-collaboration.md) - [Nostalgic Baseball Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitchell-ness5.md) - [Luxury Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastermind-world-x-new-era.md) - [Rap Group-Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-2.md) - [Co-Branded Collaborative Cap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/59fifty-caps.md) - [Rapper-Honoring Fall Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tupac-shakur-estate.md) - [Collaborative Tonal Cap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleasures-and-polo.md) - [Heritage Baseball Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polo-ralph-lauren-new-era.md) - [Leather Streetwear Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-leather-collection.md)
