Style Dad Hat Snapback Hat Trucker Hat Beanie

ColorBlack

This embroidered hat says "Be careful what you wish for, you could be next" and keeps the warning close without making a spectacle of it. It is for people who notice how fast cruelty aimed at others gets normalized, then quietly widened. For allies, organizers, and anyone who understands that no one stays outside the blast radius forever. Available in various colors as a snapback, dad hat, trucker, or knit beanie, this piece is built for daily life while holding firm on values that do not bend when it gets uncomfortable.

Hats can be tricky to clean, so the best way to clean your caps is by hand-washing them. Machine-washing can ruin the shape and damage the embroidery. If you are going to wash it: Use a mild detergent (no bleach) in lukewarm water. Gently spot-clean with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid using brushes.

Fight With Purpose

Automatic donations to related charities

What's your deal, anyway?

Fair ask. We’ve been creating anti-fascist and progressive art for over 25 years. Chicago made us, but now we’re full-time nomads making art and products that espouse our beliefs in human rights and social justice. We design things for the communities we come from and the ones we fight alongside, with a portion of sales donated to causes we support. We’re stubborn, loud, and allergic to neutrality. No fascists. No excuses.

I don't see the style I want.

Most of our items are available in a wide range of sizes. Additionally, most items are available in various styles. If you see a T-shirt design you like and want it on a hoodie, check the hoodies section or use the search bar. You can also customize the style and color of most designs in the custom section of our website.

Feel free to contact us if you can't find what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to make it happen.

What causes do you give to?

We donate $1 of each item sold to non-profits and organizations supporting progressive, humanitarian, and justice-oriented causes around the world. All donations are automatically calculated and transferred to our charity partner every month to ensure compliance and timely processing.

This Pattern Is Familiar

A hat is an up-front place to carry a sentence like this, which is exactly why it matters. "Be careful what you wish for, you could be next" does not need volume to land. It works in passing. At the grocery store. On a walk. In traffic. It sits there, steady, while the world keeps proving the point.

This piece is for people who have watched others celebrate harm as long as it was aimed somewhere else. Immigrants first. LGBTQ+ communities next. Protesters, teachers, journalists, neighbors. The list grows while spectators convince themselves they are safe because they are not on it yet. That illusion never lasts.

Strange Gang x EGOPROOF made this hat for people who understand how power actually behaves. Fascism does not announce a finish line. It expands. It tests. It rewards cruelty and waits to see who cheers. Abolish ICE is not a talking point pulled from thin air. It comes from watching families destroyed while others treat it like a game they cannot lose.

Wearing this is not about fear. It is about proximity. About refusing the lie that there is a permanent distance between you and the people being targeted today. MAGA politics thrive on separation and spectacle. Anti-fascism exists because history shows exactly where that road goes when it is left unchallenged.

A hat moves with you through ordinary moments, which is where normalization actually happens. Not in speeches, but in routines. In silence. In the choice to look away. This message interrupts that drift. It asks a simple question without softening it. Who do you think will be next, and why do you believe you are exempt.

This piece belongs to people who choose solidarity before it is personally necessary. Who understand that protecting others early is the only real form of self preservation. "Be careful what you wish for, you could be next" is not dramatic. It is observant. It is for those who refuse to cheer when harm is handed out and who know that once cruelty is rewarded, it does not stay selective.

Wear it as a reminder that no one wins by narrowing the circle. The only way out is together.
