    Looks like FFF changed the Gumballhead label. Anyone know the reason for the change?

    Alpha King could use an update.

    A little rebranding never hurts, except when it does.

    It looks like the character has a condom rim around it's neck. I guess this beer is for rubbers.

    I'm not sure but I'm sure it won't taste as good with the new label.

    I also saw some Alpha King with black caps, wondering if they are switching to save $$

    Zd bottled 4-9-14 has black caps as well. I'm guessing they either ran out and are waiting on a new supply or just went strictly to black cuz they know it's just an effin cap and it doesn't matter what it looks like.

    there was a thread about this. don't remember what the exact reason was, but the black caps were temporary.

    Hopefully they'll do a better job putting these new labels on.

    The new label looks like it is missing the aluminized finish. Maybe these new labels are less expensive for the brewery to use.

    It's got us talking. I've got a sixer w/ the black caps. Haven't seen the new label on the shelves yet. At $12.99/6er, I expect the dynamic caps.

    Just picked up a new six pack and the labels are still metallic, the space visor is silver and shiny :slight_smile:. I'm digging the new art, FWIW, I asked the person working behind the to-go counter if they were changing the other 6pk art, and she said all of them will be different with the exception of ZD....

    I had a dream last night I was in a liquor store and on the bottom shelf and a bit hidden was Gumballhead. What is the significance? It was a 4pk with the new label and had the black FFF and skull caps, like the bottom of the Zombie Dust packaging. Also, it was $15. Shit.

    The significance is that you need to lay off the spicy pizza late at night. :wink:
