RipTAG Patches are FOREVER - Part ONE
One of my fondest memories is following Ricky Fowler at the 2010 Waste Management Open. My father is a huge golfer and instead of watching the Super Bowl every year, we would cheer for PGA pros as they competed in this signature Arizona golf tournament on the same day.
Fowler was a long-haired kid who was just coming on the scene as a PGA pro. He was dominating the course that day and was in contention to win the tourney. My father and I followed Ricky all the way through to his 2nd place finish. It was an AWESOME day. We had discovered the next great PGA Pro, and on the way out Dad bought me a Ricky Fowler cap.
Fast forward to 2012 and my favorite cap was toast. The sweat stains were permanent. The cap was discolored and wrinkled from too many washes. Ricky was sadly retired to the back corner of my closet.
Fast forward again to 2020, and that corner in my closet is a graveyard! I'll never wear half of these caps again, and the saddest part is that the designs wore out with the caps.
Separate the design DUMMY!
It seems so obvious now with RipFISH and our RipHEAD™ caps that separate the all important design logo from the cap, but back then I would have killed for that choice! If I could have bought a Ricky Fowler RipTAG™ patch instead of the cap pictured above, I'd still be wearing Ricky and talking about that memorable day with Dad.
Caps wear out, RipTAG™ patches won't!
RipTAG™ patches are SEPERATE design articles. They connect to our RipHEAD™ caps and RipFISH™ backpacks with a thin layer of plastic HOOK material that won't absorb sweat or water. The identification information printed on the back of our RipTAGs™ is made of vinyl and is sealed in a thin layer of clear and waterproof plastic. The fabric used for our RipTAG™ patches is tough and tightly woven. So as your RipHEAD™ cap wears out over time, your RipTAG™ patch won't. We like to say that RipTAG™ patches are forever.
Back to Ricky...
In 2010 RipHEAD™ caps and RipTAG™ patches didn't exist, but they do now! If you are attending a sporting event, a concert, visiting someplace spectacular, or following Ricky Fowler on a golf course, please look for a RipTAG™ patch design that will last FOREVER!
Oh, there is one more advantage to our RipTAG™ patches, they are built to be COLLECTIBLE!
