Roller Derby Hats

Roller derby is a skater-run contact sport with a naming culture all its own. About 40,000 skater names are registered on the International Rollergirls' Master Roster, many of them puns, and one skater called Crackerjack drew legal action from the snack maker when she tried to trademark hers. New skaters arrive as fresh meat in tongue-in-cheek intake programs, and earn a derby name after passing their assessments. Then there is the derby wife, the person who always has your back on and off the track, a bond that dates to a November 2003 bout and is still celebrated at RollerCon. These roller derby hats speak from inside that world. Two badges cover the search terms, DERBY GIRL and ROLLER DERBY JAMMER, and the sentence designs carry the attitude: the blocker who is the wall, the hit that was legal, the skater who is sweet until the whistle, and the penalty box visit that was worth it. IT WAS WORTH THE PENALTY already turns up on derby slogan lists, and it earns a second colorway here. Roller Skating covers rinks and nostalgia; this page is the contact sport, with the penalty box, the jammer and a pun for a name. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Pick one for bout day, or for the skater in your life who already answers to a pun.
