Upper Playground is releasing two New Era caps designed by artists Herbert Baglione and Jeremy Fish. Baglione’s art has gained him respect and recognition from his native Brazil to the U.S. and abroad. He is known for his strong minimalist and simplistic approach to painting. Jeremy Fish’s artwork can be found throughout his own line, superFishal, through the multiple books he has been featured in, and in the various collaborations he has done with corporations like Nike and Adidas.

Cat Moonlight, the design by Baglione, gives us a wistful look at a full moon from a black cat’s perspective. Fish’s Bunny Skull design creates a clever wall paper-type pattern covering the entire fitted with bunny skulls. The new 59FIFTY caps are available at all Upper Playground retail stores and online at the Upper Playground web store.

Buy the cap and strike back against gym class bullies everywhere.  Sam Flores’ Beat Cycle cap features a wrap-around graphic from Sam Flores’ 12Grain Line.

Every time a new Jeremy Fish piece surfaces, a new chapter is being added to the story. From his collaborations with hip hop artist Aesop Rock to his internationally–acclaimed solo exhibitions, San Francisco resident Fish is one of the most prolific and active painters today.  Available now at Upperplayground.com for $50.
