Space Force Hats

The Space Force was established on December 20, 2019, and its members have been called Guardians since December 18, 2020. About 2,200 people transferred over from the Air Force at the start, which is where the joke at the heart of this collection comes from: the newest branch, the Air Force but higher, with a motto of Semper Supra, Always Above, and an official song to match. The Guardians' own humor is deadpan. Every one of them gets asked whether they go to space, and the stock answer is: I'm a ground-based space professional. This collection builds on that register. The badges name the branch, U.S. Space Force and Space Force Guardian, and the sentence designs pick up the jokes Guardians trade: the enemy is space junk, the PT test in zero gravity that online jokes were making back in 2018, the Star Wars high ground, and the pride of being the branch for nerds. Demand in this category sits in plain text like United States Space Force, so the badges stay clean and the humor stays on the wearer's side. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, for Guardians, the Air Force people who transferred over, and the many fans who find the branch funny.
