they all have those godforsaken giant fucking big ass round bills on them now !

thats great if you want to keep the foil sticker on it and tags and shit, while sporting your bling ! but for fucks sake !


thats all.
Peace, Love.

    go on lids.com and look for any hat that is called "franchise" or that are labeled "easy fitted" instead of fitted. these are the ones that are pretty much broken in for you.

    new era are the ones that players wear but they also make probably 100 absolutely fug-ugly hats for every team. they're the ones that you see kids wearing crooked with an ironed flat bill and five stickers on it while the hat has so many colors and logos on it you can even tell what team its for.

    I got mine at Lids. They make them for all teams.

    I think canvas is more comfortable than wool. Even in the winter.

    I've got both a nice Phils and Padres New Era fitted hats from Lids - The bill doesn't seem that big once you start to wear it in.
  • deadmosquitodeadmosquito Posts: 729
    i have a pirates "batting practice" cap from new era that has a perfectly sized bill that was already bent. it's pretty comfy too. i think they make those batting practice ones for every team. or many teams anyway.

    Yeah, New Era ruined baseball hats. Now it's fashionable in the hardcore and hip hop scene to own them so they cost like 50 bucks at a lot of locations too.

    Exactly! The colors and prints in the New Era hats are rediculous. I really wonder who buys these things. But I'm sure they wouldn't be making them if they didn't sell them.

    I have about 18 caps

    the only one I don't really like is the official fitted cap the rest are normal hats
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.
  • JOEJOEJOEJOEJOEJOE Posts: 10,619
    I usually find New Era caps that fit pretty well. I always buy them sized so that there is no mystery as to whether or not they will fit when I order them off the website. They have some cool minor league caps on their website.

    I agree that there are way too many variations these days that only a teenager could appreciate!
  • greaticedteagreaticedtea Posts: 229
    you guys should check out new eras website. they have fitted hats for some baseball teams that are "low crown" and fit closer to the head. they're hard to find but i feel there's a noticable difference.

    I got a New Era Cubs fitted hat oh, probably like 9 years ago that I wear to this day.

    Almost all regular fitted team hats come flat billed (mine did way back then when flat billed hats weren't "in") you just have to work them and curve them however you like.
    It can take a while, but the curve will hold and even if the crown part is too big at first, the more you wear it and the more weathered it becomes the better it will fit you later.

    I can't even wear them so they get weathered. They look too dumb on my stupid bulbous ass head!

    Yeah, I've got an "odd shaped" head :D and most hats don't fit me right. Only a couple in my life have fit me and fit me well...one of which is my Cubs New Era fitted cap.

    I wonder if lumberjacks felt the same way when grunge kids started to wear flannel??

    You're supposed to buy the cap and put a 'grrrr' in it to fit your head.
    I'm not sure what everyone is talking about... big round bills. The bills get rounded when the guys roll them up.
    ...
    Also... NewEra... they make the authentic baseball caps. How did they ruin anything?

    Hmmmm, let's see. Once upon a time ago the NY Yankees hats were simply navy blue with a white NY logo. Now they are gold and pink and red and green. Oh don't forget your choices of green, emerald green and super freaking bright lime green. Oh and all white and all black and all blue and every other color in the spectrum. Did I forget the polka dots and the horizontal stripes and the diagonal stripes and the NY skyline and the Italian version and the Irish version and the Puerto Rican version.

    What did New Era do again?
