It’s exactly one month until the NFL Draft in Kansas City, and there’s already been one positive sign.

The official 2023 NFL Draft caps were released on Monday, and they’re a marked improvement from years past. Traditionally, fans have been underwhelmed by the hats, but this year’s version has been well-received.

Here is a look at the Chiefs’ draft caps.

This is how some of the other team caps look and the reaction from fans. It’s not been all positive, but many people like them.

These might be my favorite draft caps that they've had in awhile

Old school vibes I love it

Without a doubt one of the best in recent years, but I also have a tiger head bias. A much stronger logo than the B.

Super dope hat. Has a classic feel to it. Love that they come in the Low Profile 59FIFTY. https://t.co/cmvraHTrZu

First time I've liked a draft hat at first blush.
