## Abstract

In accordance with the invention, an interchangeable headgear device is provided. The headgear may include a headgear apparatus including a crown, a brim and an interior portion. The headgear may further include an attachment. The attachment may include a logo portion and a coupling mechanism. The interior portion may include an inner pocket around a circumference of inner portion. The inner pocket may be formed to securely store one or more attachments. In accordance with the invention, the crown and the brim may include an external surfaced formed entirely of female or loop invaginations. The female/loop invaginations may he formed to removably connect with a logo via the coupling mechanism of the attachment. The coupling mechanism may be formed from a plurality of male or hook projections, which may cause the coupling mechanism to grasp the female/loop invaginations of the external surface of the headgear.

## Claims
