We all have that friend that we’re allowed to mock but no one else is.

For Clevelanders, the Cleveland Browns are that friend. Luckily, Legend is in on the joke with its sarcastic, Browns-themed LOL hat ($28).

“No matter how much we suck or how many times we say ‘I’m never watching the Browns again,’ we still find ourselves having hope,” says Jacob Miller, who started Legend in February as the retail wing of his parents’ 33-year-old company Graffiti Caps. “As Clevelanders, we can laugh at our pain a little.”

The trendy dad hat, which clasps with a leather strap, has two options: vintage sweet potato orange and off-white with a brown visor. Peek under the bill for a brown-and-white patterned lining, Legend’s hidden trademark.

“Nobody really sees it, but just knowing that it’s there is cool,” he says. 3111 Carnegie Ave., Cleveland, 216-534-1541, legendheadwear.com
