Help me support my boy by finding his hat!

I need help finding a specific blue/grey Red Bull beanie. It's more important than you'd guess!
This guy is my little buddy, and I told him I'd find a Red Bull beanie just like the one he's wearing in that picture (he was wearing it at the time of a certain special occasion) and stitch his name in the back. I can handle the stitching, but I desperately need help with finding the beanie. I've found dark navy blue, black, some other colors, no light grey/blue. It has to be Red Bull, and it has to be that exact kind - with the fold-over bottom part or whatever you'd call it. I have to have this bought and stitched by his next contest. Please help. Thanks!

Best answer: You can buy those Red Bull iron on patches. Could you possibly put a patch on a gray hat? If you are having it embroidered anyway, then you could have the patches put on. Or if they aren't exactly right, maybe you could have the embroidery place do a custom job?

Response by poster: I'm not having it embroidered, but rather sewing his name on there myself. I can't believe he would send me on this wild goose chase if it was a gift from Red Bull!
I will most certainly contact the headquarters - what should I say? What's most likely to get them to send me one?
Thanks guys.

Response by poster: Oh, but I'm sure I could sew the patch on there myself, I meant to say. SO, does anyone know where to find a gray blueish fold-over beanie like that?

Best answer: As far as what to ask HQ, I'd start by saying that you are a friend of his and that RB is one of his sponsors. Explain what you're trying to do, and ask if they have or know where to get a hat just like that.

Mrfuga0 - In case the HQ proves unhelpful, do you have any idea where to get blank beanies?
That questions is for everyone, actually - anyone know where I can get blank beanie in a gray/blue color with a fold-over bottom (just like the one in the picture but blank or with a very tiny hardly noticeable little logo tag, so I could sew a Red Bull patch on)?
Thanks everyone! This is going to mean a lot to him if I can pull it off.

Response by poster: Update: I found a hat very much like his in a very similar color. I'm ordering that first RedBull patch linked to by a very helpful person and I'm gonna sew that over the logo or on the other side or something. Thanks so much for all the help everyone, he's already excited to see it!
