Ranking the 2020 NFL Draft hats from worst to, um, less worse
Brothers and sisters of football, welcome to NFL Draft Hat Day! A day of mourning across the fashion world, NFL Draft Hat Day is one of celebration here at The Loop's cynicism HQ. Not only do we get to fire up the reactors, stoke the bunsen burners, and start brewing some hot, hot takes, but we also get to talk about the NFL Draft, AKA the only sports event still happening on mother earth at the moment. So sit back, relax, and cover up that bald spot with our ranking of the worst (and less worst) draft hats of 2020.
Ed. Note: The Buccaneers, Falcons, and Raiders have yet to reveal their 2020 Draft Hats. We await their unveiling with bated breath.
29. Los Angeles Rams
We’ve covered this one ad nauseam. Butt. Total butt.
28. New York Giants
Did Eli Manning design this?
27. Cleveland Browns
Well, at least Myles Garret can’t knock you out with it.
26. Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers would rather visit his parents for Thanksgiving than wear this expired cheese fart.
25. New York Jets
Also the official "Jersey Funeral Hat" of 2020.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers
See the Packers, only with Big Ben’s water-balloon-full-of-rancid milk face beneath the brim.
23. Jacksonville Jaguars
Replace this with Gardner Minshew's face and it jumps 10 spots. What's next? Fans? Respect? Legitimacy?
22. Kansas City Chiefs
The perfect look for falling out of a tree and breaking your back at your first and definitely last Super Bowl parade!
21. Denver Broncos
Altitude sickness? Hoo boy, do we have the barf bag for you.
20. Houston Texans
Like staring into Bill O’Brien’s soul.
19. Indianapolis Colts
Nothing says “our quarterback is single-handedly responsible for the crippling overpopulation of earth” like this dystopian dookie.
18. Buffalo Bills
More black and blue. This is the theme of the year. An idiot came up with it.
17. Washington Redskins
Racist and ugly. Unlike Dwayne Haskins, that’s a hell of a dual threat.
16. New England Patriots
We are all Patriots . . . except for Tom Brady, who is now a Buccaneer. Suck it, Boston. Just suck it.
15. Carolina Panthers
Is it just me or does the Panther look like Ron Rivera's tortured face pushing against the interdimensional barrier between hell and earth screaming forever in agony? Hello? Anyone?
14. Baltimore Ravens
Right around here, you’d expect these to start getting good, but nope. Also, Charm City? Has anyone actually been to Baltimore?
13. Cincinnati Bengals
The B also stands for “Burrow.” Tua to the Bengals now a f—king lock.
12. Detroit Lions
Not horrible, unlike literally everything else about the Lions.
11. Miami Dolphins
Does some Miami coke dealer/public attorney own the rights to “Fins Up” or something? Jesus Goodell, cut a deal already.
10. Philadelphia Eagles
Assuming you can keep Carson "Keep Honking, I'm Reloading" Wentz from blasting this with a shotgun and mounting it on his wall, not bad.
9. Minnesota Vikings
Did you know that when the vikings first made North American landfall in 1000 AD, they never ventured farther inland than Newfoundland? Neither does Minnesota. Just go with it.
8. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have finally embraced their true identity as America’s Emperor Palpatine’s Team.
7. Seattle Seahawks
The perfect hat for the Russell Wilson F—ks era.
6. Chicago Bears
Idk, there was nowhere else to put it.
5. Tennessee Titans
Nice hat. Good team. If Ryan Tannehill wins a Super Bowl in Nashville, I’m going to walk off the GW.
4. New Orleans Saints
Classic, old-school, aging, on the verge of plunging straight to the top of the draft board.
3. San Francisco 49ers
On second thought, this sucks. Why did I put this here? Also how Kyle Shanahan felt watching Jimmy Garoppolo in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.
2. Arizona Cardinals
It’s all coming up Kingsbury.
1. Los Angeles Chargers
If only they had actual fans to wear it.
