Donald Trump’s hat has some competition, and it’s you, dear reader.

The Republican presidential candidate has appeared at rallies and speeches donning a red cap with his slogan, “Make America Great Again.” But last week, New York Mayor [Bill De Blasio introduced his own snide take on the famous red caps on CNNMoney](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdvP6RMG7iQ) with the adjusted slogan “Make America Fair Again.”

The Washington _Post_ thinks that while this hat-tip is a bit corny, there’s room for some good old fashioned American punning and humor. So the news organization launched a “[Make a Hat Great Again” campaign](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/10/06/hey-lets-all-make-our-own-donald-trump-hats/), where users can type in two lines of 14 letters each (numbers and letters only, unfortunately). Hatmakers can even go so far as to get a white-and-gold version in addition to the standard issue red-and-white. Drag the image to your desktop to add it to your own cache of photos, tweet it to the world, or use it as a template for your next fashion challenge.
