The cap has two eyelets, or ventilation holes. I don't know when these came into use with baseball caps, but that might provide a clue as to when it was made. Rom, is there a manufacturer's label inside the cap? With the name of the company, we can look it up online and see if the company was around in the 80s. Although sometimes the manufacturer's name is not indicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Don't own this one myself. Found the pictures on the net and it caught my eye. To be honest, I don't think it's 80s. EDIT: found out it's late 90s. Edited August 27, 2020 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAre Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) I just received these and wanted to update the thread. In the winter of 1983, Activision took all of its employees on a weekend ski trip to Lake Tahoe. It was called "Winter Weekend '83." Unfortunately, I don't have any other details. I was, however, able to acquire a couple of items from the trip. As was customary with Activision, the company produced souvenirs to commemorate the event. Everyone received a cap and scarf set, of which I'm attaching pictures. Edited September 17, 2020 by JayAre 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'm hoping to have a Coffee Cup to add to the discussion soon, but seriously... This stuff is all INSANE, I can't believe you Folks find it, just AMAZING! I don't like Skiing(IRL), and I don't like the snow(tho I have it where I live). I'd prolly give up the tip of my right pinky-toe for that Skiing cap and scarf, Jesus, that's ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hoping the Skylab letter might make this haul worthy of this thread- It was actually a gift from the seller, included with the other purchased items, so huge Thanks to Joe! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does somebody have more information about (the rules of) this contest? Or the mentioned StarMaster jacket? Here's the poster: Notice the piece of Skylab attached to the front. Does someone have a better quality picture of that poster and piece? Would love to know more about this. It was not produced by Activision, that's for sure.

Would love to know more about this. It was not produced by Activision, that's for sure. I don't, but I can certainly ask, I got it from the actual person that won it-I also know someone else who has one that they earned themself, and I'll ask him as well, gimme a bit of time. I DO know that the Skylab piece itself from my seller was "long gone", and I'm assuming from your pic that it was affixed to the poster. The Jacket sounds awesome, for sure!!! Again, gimme a bit, I'll get details-I was under the assumption, for some reason, that it was a "live tournament", but now I am thinking, for some other unexplainable reason that it wasn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a video game player groupie? She was there courtesy of Activision? It doesn't seem like a likely pairing (although I'm not complaining). back when I was going to ces in the late 80's early 90's they had playmates on the floor and I think were signing their issues and taking pics. The lines were long to meet them. I think one year, I think the porn awards were in another hall. been meaning to find out more about this activision ski patch. I bought it off ebay a few years ago. Person was selling 2 of them. I thought it looked cool being stitched, so I bought 1. Anyone know if its legit? If its a repo, I say someone should stitch all of them!

Atarick Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) These items are so cool. Would have been awesome to have been at one of the events or expos where these things were handed out, or the types of events like the Hawaii thing in the other thread. Thanks for posting!
