Brian Robinson Photo Leads to 2,000% Spike for Big Hat Company

An internet moment has led to the latest craze in novelty apparel.

It all began when a photo of Commanders RB Brian Robinson wearing a massive hat in the team’s locker room went viral after Washington defeated Atlanta 19-13 on Sunday.

Robinson said he got the hat from a friend with a “big hat” company. That company is Noggin Boss, which sells the oversized hats starting at $75.

Noggin Boss appeared on “Shark Tank” earlier this year and secured a deal with Daymond John for 30% of the company.

It has official partnerships with the Dallas Mavericks and Arizona Cardinals — but nothing has helped sales more than Robinson’s unofficial endorsement.

Per TMZ, hat orders spiked an unbelievable 2,000%, and Monday was one of the company’s biggest sales days.
