  • "Philadelphia Jawns" Snapback Hat

    • There are 171,146 words in the English language. In Philadelphia, all you need is one. Jawn. Jawn is Philly slang that can mean literally anything. It can be used as a substitute for any person, place, or thing. Jawn is a testament to Philadelphia’s ingenuity and efficiency allowing us to cut right to the chase with just one word that’s applicable in any situation. Other cities can keep all their fancy words. We’ll keep our jawn.

      This classic 80s/90s vintage snapback cap is inspired by the Sports Specialties hats that were super popular when we were growing up. A cap style rocked by the likes of NWA's Easy-E and other hardcore badasses in my grade school who used to pair it with their Charlotte Hornets Starter jackets, this hat is so retro that you'll wanna play Tecmo Bowl, trade baseball cards, and daydream about Kelly Kapowski.

      See more like this in our Jawn Collection.

      *This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it may take us up to 1-2 weeks to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions and for supporting small businesses.

      1. Designed by real Philadelphians after a few rounds of Yuengling to inspire creativity
      2. Classic 80s/90s vintage snapback cap inspired by the Sports Specialties, Logo Athletic, The Game, and Starter hats of our youth.
      3. This hat is so retro, you'll wanna play Tecmo Bowl, trade baseball cards, and daydream about Kelly Kapowski.
      4. Premium embroidered design on front with Phillygoat logos on the side and back (so you know it's not a cheap knockoff)
      5. Definitely not made in a sweatshop, but we are looking into ways we can force the children of Cowboys fans into cheap labor

    cool hat

    like most slang that gets used unironically, “jawn” is aave. it’s black philadelphians’ version of the term “joint” that new yorkers say and the term “junt” that you’ll hear down in memphis.

    as with most aave, however, it got co-opted by the masses and somehow became credited to the entire city, much how present-day aave gets called “internet slang” by people who fail to realize that some of us have been using those terms for years, and they only associate it with the internet because that’s the only place they see it used…since they don’t associate with us in real life.

    source: a black philadelphian who’s been using the term “jawn” since childhood…well before it got columbused.
