I Love New York Communist Hat | Wear Your Satire
Forget basic tourist merch. This is the I Love New York Hat for the rest of us. We’ve taken the world’s most famous city logo, an icon of pure capitalism designed by Milton Glaser, and given it the ultimate subversive twist. This classic white baseball cap replaces the ubiquitous “❤️” with the bold, hammer and sickle “☭”, creating a piece of political parody that is as witty as it is provocative. The clean, classic “I” and “NY” text, rendered in the familiar serif font, is perfectly offset by the vibrant red, high-density of the communist hammer and sickle.
This hat is a statement. It’s a piece of wearable commentary, a sartorial discussion-starter that thrives on irony. It perfectly captures the complex duality of loving a city that is the undeniable epicenter of art, culture, and life, while also being the global symbol of Wall Street and free-market capitalism. It’s a design that will earn knowing nods from those who get it and confused double-takes from those who don’t.

The juxtaposition is the entire point. It’s a piece of art that deconstructs a familiar logo, forcing the viewer to think. It’s the perfect accessory for walking through SoHo, attending a university lecture, joining a protest, or grabbing a coffee with friends. Be prepared to talk about it—this hat is for those who welcome dialogue, debate, and a healthy dose of political humor.
