The Lakers tried to go full hipster in their most recent promotional giveaway. but they may have went a bit too far.
Everyone at Sunday’s game against the Kings at Staples Center received a fedora, which is an interesting sports-related gift. Normally we see traditional items such as bobbleheads, t-shirts, hats and mousepads — but the Lakers elected to go in a different direction.
Check out the fedora — in all its glory.

“Or, at least what the Lakers believed to be a fedora. The hat they handed out, akin to common misidentification at the turn of the decade, was actually a trilby.”
So it was the @Lakers who got it mixed up— Culture Critic Z (@CultureCriticZ) December 31, 2018
So yeah, that actually happened. This is the day and age we live in.
