Dinosaur Nerd Hats

Plenty of adults never got over dinosaurs; people just stopped asking. A YouGov poll found that 55% of American adults still have a favorite dinosaur, with T-Rex on top at 19% and Velociraptor and Brontosaurus tied at 6%. As one fan put it, nobody asks adults about their favorite dinosaur, so these hats answer the question unprompted. The fandom has had real news to keep up with. Brontosaurus spent 112 years folded into Apatosaurus before a 2015 PeerJ study brought it back as its own genus, and the story trended on Twitter for two days. Velociraptor fossils turned out to carry quill knobs, the anchor points for feathers, which is hard news for anyone who grew up on the scaly Jurassic Park version. DINOSAUR NERD and DINO DAD are the plain badges, and I DIG DINOSAURS is the museum-shop pun. PALEONTOLOGIST (AMATEUR) is the honest title. I'M AN ADULT AND I STILL HAVE A FAVORITE DINOSAUR is the confession, BRONTOSAURUS IS REAL AGAIN AND I NEVER DOUBTED IT is the victory lap, and VELOCIRAPTORS HAD FEATHERS AND I'VE ACCEPTED IT is the grief, processed. T-REX HATES PUSHUPS is the short-arms joke the Field Museum already sells on a tee, and JURASSIC PARK IS A DOCUMENTARY is for the lifers. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. The favorite-dinosaur confession and the T-Rex push-up joke each get a second colorway.
