Benefits of technology

The present invention allows for a plastic logo or icon to be attached to a cap's snapback adjustable strap end, which was previously not possible due to the arrangement of the snapback straps and the interference of opening in the snapback strap ends with the logo. The invention solves this issue by providing a dome shaped fabric with an opening for receiving the wearer's head and a flexible sizing band that can be rotatably mounted on the fabric and has male and female connectors for adjusting the circumference of the opening. The logo or icon can be attached to the male connectors or to the female connectors, or even to both, providing various placement options. The technical effects of the invention are improved placement of logos or icons on caps and increased flexibility in adjusting the size of the openings.

Problems solved by technology

Previously this was not possible because of the arrangement of the snapback straps on the cap and because of the openings in the snapback strap ends that interfered with the logo thereon.
