In January 2001, Zuffa bought the UFC for two million dollars, at a point when the promotion was banned from television across much of the United States. In July 2016 it sold for roughly four billion — two thousand times what had been paid fifteen years earlier.
This is the quiet one in the range: the logo is there, but it takes raking light to see it.
What tonal embroidery gives you
The logo is stitched in black thread on a black crown, and the surface carries a woven diamond ground that catches light differently depending on the angle. Head-on under direct light, the cap reads as plain. From three-quarters, the three letters come up through their relief and the diamonds draw themselves across the panels.
Cut and adjustment
Flat brim delivered unbent, structured 13 cm / 5.1 in crown, rear snapback closure. The measurement table shared by every flat brim cap sits on the Everlast snapback listing.
Technical specifications
Worth knowing
Two surface effects sit on top of each other here: the diamond ground woven into the cloth, and the relief of the embroidery over it. That is what gives an all-black cap something to look at.
Worth a look
The UFC check cap brings the same weave up in grey and black, if you want the pattern to show. The UFC cap puts the logo large and flat across six colourways, and the TMT black cap works the same tonal idea on another mark. Everything sits in the boxing caps collection.
Frequently asked questions
What size boxing cap should I get?
The snapback closure covers 55–59 cm / 21.7–23.2 in. Measure with a tape about 1 cm / 0.4 in above the eyebrows, around the back of the skull over the bump, without pulling tight.
Can you actually see a black logo on a black cap?
Through the relief of the embroidery and the diamond ground woven into the cloth. In raking light or from three-quarters, the three letters stand out clearly; head-on under direct light, the cap reads as plain. That is the point of a tonal cap.
What is the UFC worth now?
The promotion was bought for two million dollars in 2001 and sold for roughly four billion in July 2016. It has since been folded into a publicly listed group.
How do you keep a black cap black?
Hand wash at 30 °C / 86 °F maximum, mild soap with no bleaching agent, dry in the shade. Direct sun is what fades black fastest, and a tumble dryer dulls synthetic fibres.
Flat brim or curved brim — what is the difference?
Crown height: 13 cm / 5.1 in on a flat brim against 9 cm / 3.5 in on a curved one. A flat brim rides high on the skull and arrives unbent; a curved one sits on the head and comes down the forehead. The brim is 7 cm / 2.8 in either way.
