The hat is topped off with a white squatchee which adds a nice little bit of contrast to the bold color of the body. The hat features a red cap with a blue brim, with the New Era logo on one side, and the MOTHER logo embroidered on the other. What makes this announcement significant is that one of the designs in this drop is a re-creation of the iconic hat worn by both Ninten and Ness in the MOTHER series, making this the first time an official release of such a hat has occurred.

HOBONICHI is teaming up with the iconic hat makers at New Era for a pair of snapback caps from their 9FIFTY range. Today a pair of new items have been revealed, and they may just be the most demanded items from the fanbase for years. Everything from daily use items to some more extravagant collectibles has been released, including reproductions of fan-favorite items from years past. This time around, MOTHER series creator Shigesato Itoi has used his lifestyle company HOBONICHI to keep a steady stream of fantastic merch available, with new items dropping regularly over the course of the last year. It’s not often that the franchise has seen wide releases of merchandise, usually trickling out as limited edition items over the years, making things very hard to obtain.

The ongoing HOBONICHI MOTHER PROJECT has been a dream for fans of the MOTHER/ EarthBound series.
