Supreme has just released their Western Conference Caps. This cap comes in 4 colorways: white, black, green, and blue. The cap includes a graphic very similar to the San Antonio Spurs logo, with the “U” in Supreme being replaced by a spur. The graphics on the black and white caps also feature similar color combinations as the Spurs logo. It seems like the folks at Supreme might have a winner in mind for the Western Conference this year.
