monkeypower Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 https://www.cfl.ca/2018/09/12/new-era-global-licensee-becomes-official-outfitter-cfl/ This will be interesting considering New Era hasn't made uniforms before. Quote “This is the first time New Era Cap will charge onto the football field providing uniforms and sideline apparel in addition to our line of fan gear and headwear that blends sports with lifestyle,” said Dave Heimburg, Vice President & General Manager North America, New Era Apparel. Currently the league uses Adidas and has since 2015 (when they took over from Reebok) but Adidas informed the league they weren't going to continue the deal after it expired at the end of this season.

NEW.ERA Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So we're more than likely getting another jersey overhaul. Very interested in what New Era can do. I have a Winnipeg Goldeyes shirt made by New Era, but I can't think of anything else they've made aside from hats.

I have an Angels sweater made by New Era which I like, but remember thinking it was weird that it was by New Era when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I wasn’t aware they ever made anything aside from hats. But I doubt they will start now. More likely they will be designing the uniforms and then contracting them out to another manufacturer to actually produce with the NE flag logo on it. Much as Ripon did for Nike, Reebok, Starter, and the like for all those years. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Chromatic Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 To me this is no weirder than majestic getting the MLB contract. I’m at least excited for the hats as I am a big fan of New Era’s headwear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 That kinda came ouf of leftfield. Really thought that someone with a history of making uniforms would step in. It'll be interesting to see how New Era pulls this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 With Starter giving it another go, they msy have just decided why not. Maybe they will look at some heritage looks for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 New Era? And I thought they only made caps. Hopefully, we'll see how this endeavour goes. I hope it goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 New Era has definitely made some licensed apparel before, t-shirts and the like: https://www.mlbshop.com/los-angeles-dodgers/mens-los-angeles-dodgers-new-era-white/royal-slub-crew-neck-t-shirt-with-contrast-sleeves/t-36550955+p-8047604696573+z-9-1251421342 Assuming though that it's just the same as some other small brand, like a Majestic Threads or something.

They're basically just paying to have their logo displayed on the uniforms, proving yet again, that the "manufacturer's mark" is just an ad. Does New Era even have an "original" design team? Most (if not all) of their "original" designs are actually done by whoever the teams / leagues pay to design the uniforms, and NE simply produces the cap part of it. They obviously have in-house designers that do the "mashup" or color-swap or other designs that utilize licensed logos, but AFAIK they don't actually "design" uniforms / logos. They may end up outsourcing the whole thing - design and all.

While we know them best for making the on-field products, they do have lots of other products that I would assume aren't directly designed by the teams.

FiddySicks Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have a few New Era shirts and they’re all of really good quality. Not sure they can translate that considering the high level of production they’ll need for a project like this (I also assume they’ll contract out the work), but I’m interested to see what they can do. Oh, and I’ll take a few CFL caps, too. American (or, Canadian) made polyester, please. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)
