The NBA never stops — a la the Jimmy Butler trade bonanza — but it’s been a few months since we last saw action on the court and not just on Instagram.

Luckily, we’re just a few weeks away from a new season tipping off. But this can also be a period of reflection, and by that we mean one that involves taking a peek into your closet and thinking about the apparel you might need to upgrade before the season begins.

If you’re looking at your hat rack and realize it might be time to pick up a new cap before the season starts, we have good news to deliver.
