The Hundred – a new 100-ball cricket competition fusing epic entertainment with high energy sporting action – and New Era – the global headwear brand – come together to release a lookbook featuring a collection of new lifestyle caps designed for the inaugural competition.
Shot by award-winning photographer Andrew Whitton, the lookbook brings together the worlds of streetwear and cricket, for the first time on this scale, using bold, colourful imagery to reflect the unique design of The Hundred’s eight city-based teams.
