Still stomped on what to buy your dad for Father’s Day. Well here is a Gymtop’s list of 10 gifts fit for a MMA loving dad.
Affliction “Aces” Hats
Classic paper boy styled caps (thanks Clifton Parker) made modern by Affliction in pinstripes or plaid. The secret is the hidden all over skull pattern in the inside of the cap. Conservative on the outside, rough and ready on the inside is the reason why Affliction’s Aces hats are most for any MMA loving dad. Check out the Affliction “Aces” hats.
Vandal Eyewear “BJ Penn” Model
Vandal have deemed themselves “The Official Eyewear Company of MMA”; aren’t they the only one? These glasses are great for those outings at the beach or just cruising down the BLVD with the family. BJ Penn is currently the only fighter with his own line, but it seems like Wanderlei Silva and others will contribute as well. Check out Vandal’s BJ Penn model sunglasses.
