Several ways to do this, some more complicated than others. What I did here is fairly simple:

1. Enter your text on a new layer. Rasterize the layer.
2. I added a bevel & emboss to the text, but this is optional.
3. Select Edit>Transform>Warp>Arc, which bends the text into a smooth arc. You can adjust the settings to change the amount of bend. It's trial-and-error, but I used negative 10% horizontal bend.
4. Select Edit>Transform>Rotate to rotate the text to match the hat. Use the Move tool to position the text. You may need to adjust the size (Edit>Transform>Scale) of the text to match the available space on the hat.
5. I made some minor tweaks using the Warp tool and Edit>Transform>Skew.
6. Lastly, I used a Curves adjustment (with a mask) to lighten the letters on the right, matching the light shining on the hat.

Great effort but one point of actuality, if the hat did have that on it in real life the right hand side would have a large blank section, either make it smaller and centre through middle of the hats centre line, or leave as is but with missing letters around righthand side of head.:mrgreen:
