Water Polo Hats

Water polo is a sport played mostly where nobody can see it. Referees stand outside the pool, and the punching, elbowing, kicking and grabbing happen below the surface. A Daily Princetonian story quoted Reid Joseph saying "seventy-five percent of the game is about what you do or keep the other team from doing underwater," and Orsolya Takacs described it as "you play with your elbows, you play with your knees, feet, hands." The eggbeater kick keeps players upright with their hands free. The classic outsider's joke, "I tried playing water polo today but my horse drowned," is documented in print from 1968 through 2015. These water polo hats are for the players, masters teams and parents who know all of that. WATER POLO, WATER POLO MOM and WATER POLO DAD are the badges. The sentence designs cover the horse joke, a referee who saw nothing, legs that work like a kitchen appliance, a stat line that counts suits grabbed, smiling above the water while kicking below it, a Marco Polo pun and a sport where air is overrated. NO, THERE ARE NO HORSES and THE REF SAW NOTHING each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one to the pool deck, or give one to the player who surfaces with a smile.
