An adornment assembly for an article having a base assembly made up of at least one layer, each with a thickness between oppositely facing surfaces. One of the oppositely facing surfaces faces an article surface to which the adornment assembly is secured. The at least one layer defines at least a first receptacle. The adornment assembly further has a plurality of discrete components each with a thickness between oppositely facing surfaces. At least first and second of the discrete components are placed in the at least first receptacle so that one of the oppositely facing surfaces on each of the first and second discrete components is exposed for viewing with the adornment assembly secured to an article.

A bandanna is provided that includes a generally square piece of material defining a first, second, third, and fourth corner. A first diametric axis bisects the first and second corners and a second diametric axis bisects the third and fourth corners. The material defines a first pair of diametrically opposed openings respectively at the first and second corner. The material is configured to be folded about the second diametric axis into a triangle to align the openings of the first pair of openings. The material is configured to interconnect at least one of the third and fourth corners with the first and second corners through the first pair of openings. The openings may be formed as elongated slits, which may extend along or parallel to the first diametric axis. The material may have at least one region for displaying indicia, including at least one of sports related graphics, non-sports related graphics, and corporate logos.

A lighting system for a hat includes a front housing containing lighting elements that mates with a back plate positioned on the inside of the hat. Driver circuitry controls operation of the LEDs for various lighting modes, and a cover for the front housing is translucent and designed in the shape of a recognizable logo or other design. Electric power comes from a battery located on the back plate, and is provided through the hate using prongs or projections that pass through the hat, from the back plate to a circuit connector in the front housing. The circuit connector is electrically coupled to circuitry on a circuit board in the front housing.

A SNAP CAPS article utilizes a uniquely designed hat that has the capability of an interchangeable logo, design, or prop. This hat permits users to easily change the components of the hat through the use of a connection of three separate pieces to permit the interchangeable logo, design, or prop be part of a hat. The SNAP CAPS item includes a wearable item having one or more attachment component located along an outside surface of the wearable item, and one or more attachment items having a display side and an attachment side, each of the one or more attachment items having a mating component capable of coupling with a corresponding attachment component. The one or more attachment component being coupled to the corresponding one or more mating component displays the display side of the one or more attachment items on a visible surface of the wearable item.

A hat with interchangeable parts is disclosed, the hat comprising a cap portion with a lower peripheral edge and one or more panels at least partially forming a crown of the hat. Some implementations also include a brim portion removably attached to the cap portion adjacent to the lower peripheral edge and extending away from a front face of the crown of the hat. Implementations can also include one or more interchangeable logos removably attached to the cap portion of the hat, a button removably attached to a crown apex of the crown of the hat, and/or an interchangeable back strap removably attached opposite the front face of the crown.

A bandanna is provided that includes a generally square piece of material defining a first, second, third, and fourth corner. A first diametric axis bisects the first and second corners and a second diametric axis bisects the third and fourth corners. The material defines a first pair of diametrically opposed openings respectively at the first and second corner. The material is configured to be folded about the second diametric axis into a triangle to align the openings of the first pair of openings. The material is configured to interconnect at least one of the third and fourth corners with the first and second corners through the first pair of openings. The openings may be formed as elongated slits, which may extend along or parallel to the first diametric axis. The material may have at least one region for displaying indicia, including at least one of sports related graphics, non-sports related graphics, and corporate logos.

A hat with illumination system including a hat having a logo with an integrated light assembly including a lens, a battery, at least one light, and a control-unit. The hat includes the logo with the integrated light assembly on a front outer surface of the hat. The light assembly is made up of the lens, the battery, the at least one light and the control unit in functional combination providing an illumination system to functionally display the logo in low light conditions. The device may be used to show fan support at night games or during low light conditions.

An attachment for mounting on straps extending between a rear opening of a cap. The attachment comprises a first panel having an outer and inner surface, and a clip section comprising a connector and a second panel having an outer and inner surface. The panels are spaced such that the first and second panels face each other and are substantially parallel to each other. The connector connects the first panel and the second panel at the top edge of the first panel and defines a gap between the panels. The gap is sufficient to permit the strap or straps to nest within, such that when the strap or straps are nested, the first and second panels lie on opposite sides of the strap or straps. The first and second panels contain ridges along their edges that engage the strap or straps and keep the cap attachment in place. The outer surfaces of the panels display advertising indicia or decoration and have a cushioned area.

A headgear identification enables a user to quickly identify their personal cap or hat among others of similar or identical appearance. A cover is fitted over the button of the cap and carries markings, colors or other identification means to allow for personalization of the cap. The cover also could attach to other features of other types of headgear in a similar fashion.

In example implementations described herein, there is a smart hat that is configured to receive gesture inputs through an accelerometer or through touch events on the hat, with light emitting diodes providing feedback to the wearer. The smart hat can be configured to be connected wirelessly to an external apparatus to control the apparatus by transmitting and receiving messages (e.g., commands) between the hat and the apparatus wirelessly. Further, a network of smart hats may be managed by an external device depending on the desired implementation.
