GriffinM6 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I honestly don't think it's a big deal. They've been selling caps with the logo on it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried taking the NE logo off two different hats. The logo is too small with too many turns. It doesn't work out well. Even if you don't end up poking a hole in it, there's a distinctive fraying of the material and ghosting behind the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly would appear you are right, i can´t imagine the NFL has always been this full of scumbags , low lifes and criminals as it is now, or what ?

Thomas Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The reason why this cap flag idea is worse than a majestic logo on a jersey, is the size issue. On a big jersey you hardly notice the logo, but on a small cap it sticks out a lot more. And the majestic sleeve logo and the new era cap flag is almost the same size !

Because the hat is to represent the team's brand, and having another company's logo next to the team's takes away from that. Also, not sure about New Era, but in some cases those "manufacturers" don't even make the jerseys, just have someone else sew their logo on. It is no different than having a Tide logo there. Aweful.

WSU151 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I just don't get the timing of it. New Era has had the headwear deal for 20+ years. Why now? What value does it add?

People who follow baseball know New Era is the official hat, but your casual fan might not and it's so the casual fan knows the official hat. New Era is hoping to increase revenue sales with the casual fan base because their logo is on the on-field hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because with the NBA's move to add the manufacturer logo in 2017, the New Era hat would have been the only piece of pro sports on-field/court/ice apparel to not feature a manufacturer's logo and it happens to be the only one New Era makes. Having that logo adds millions in value to their contract and boosts brand awareness. I agree it decreases the aesthetic of the hat, but I can't argue with them wanting it there.

AnPheitseog Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I think my biggest dislike is adding it for the Postseason 2016. Add it if you want, i dont even care. Just do it at the start of the 2017 spring training, and not in the middle of the season. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet your casual fan buys hats more on the size, structure, and fit of a hat rather than the brand/brand logo. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

And I agree with that. The tactic the others use, like '47 Brand, is called ambush marketing, where they make the hats, but they're not the "official" hat, but people might think that they are. New Era wants it known that they are the official hat of the MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 My thoughts on the New Era logo appearing on the MLB game caps for the first time: I'm disappointed, at least from an aesthetic standpoint, but from a marketing view, I completely understand the reason for the inclusion of the logo. I mean, it isn't the end of the world, really. (I will more likely than not, still tell the game caps apart from the fashion ones by the tag on the inner rear part of the seatband inside of the cap.)
