The hat would be purple and would say “Make America Grape Again”. Where can I get one? ---

Yes. Seems so. Not sure it is the purple you want but it is what I would call “purple.” ---

That’s weird (and lame). I believe you…still weird and lame. There might be other companies doing something similar who are better. No idea but one would think so. ---

[LogoSportswear.com](http://LogoSportswear.com) has a purple hat and you can design or letter it. I just designed one on their website. Looks like a good sale. You can buy only one if that’s all you want. $20-$30 ---

Good pull. Hat color is possible, as is the perfect white-on-purple all cap lettering using two words per line. The only slight hitch is that I would have to order a minimum of 24 hats at $19.86 each. If I can’t drum up enough interest I’m back to looking for a company that already sells that logo on a purple baseball cap.
