Fitted Hawaii’s new t-shirt graphic features a gecko or also known as mo’o in Hawaii. As with all t-shirt releases, a couple of matching custom MLB New Era Fitted Caps. This time it’s a Baltimore Orioles in gray flannel wool with a teal brim and pink eyelets with a teal button. While the other is a Cincinnati Reds custom using a throwback logo with the back four panels done in purple and the front 2 panels are black. Give them a ring to pick up this Hawaiian goodness.
