“In 2017, designers Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow…tried to take back the red baseball cap…offering an alternative message: Make America New York…[T]he cap’s New York looked like a last minute act of subversion, as if someone had grabbed a MAGA hat, pulled apart its slogan with a sharp seam ripper and done a bit of hasty re-stitching. New York had the look of a do-it-yourself protest. A grass roots uprising against angry populism.” – Robin Givhan
