Abstract
A novelty hat assembled from lightweight, flat foam members and shaped, for example, like a racecar. The novelty hat includes details, such as wheels, windshields, racecar number, and team logos, printed on flat laminated surfaces of the flat foam members. The flat foam members are designated to stack for storage or packaging, resulting in less volume and weight for shipping and distribution purposes.
