Fashion Week: New Era Hats



New Era makes the official 59Fifty hats that all Major League baseball teams wear. For the most part players all wear these hats the traditional way, forwards with a nice curve of the brim. Why, then, is it impossible to find anyone else who can wear the hat this normal way? Most people seem to wear it flat-billed and cocked to the side and with the stickers still on. What a ridiculous look!

In fairness, I'm not even sure New Era makes it possible for us non-baseball players to wear these hats correctly anymore. I can't seem to find a 59Fifty that fits my head or doesn't make me look like Toad from the Mario series. Nowadays I'm forced to settle for the less authentic "Flexfit" hats, and I don't like it one bit.

That's great! You've got a really nice idea. I would also love to have Flexifit baseball cap such as that.
