I always liked their 1993 Black Home Alternate that they only wore twice. It's in MLB The Show and I use it all the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 New Era has made some pretty decent fitted 59Fiftys for the NFL that were decent. Interested to see what they roll out. Obviously this design wouldn’t be the same, but this structure of hat should work and I’d probably buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God it's like MLB is purposely sabotaging New Era now so they can justify stripping them of the MLB contract in a few years to give it to Fanatics like they have everything else. New era would never lose the mlb contract, they’d rather put so much money into keeping it they go out of business rather than lose that contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not bad, as long as they don't have every team use a contrasting color for the mesh. Let some have the same color as the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for the contrasting front panel caps and really hope the Rays have a contrasting panel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joekono Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Glad nothing really on the horizon as far as ant team changing uniforms. I've said it a lot the past few years, the league looks as good as it' ever has considering all 30 teams. The City's were dumb this year and not every team did it so let's hope it stays that way. THANK YOU AGAIN PADRES FOR GOING BACK TO BROWN. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Fanatics, there are 5,633 SKUs of NFL New Era hats, and 3,337 SKUs of MLB New Era hats. 2 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

BC985 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 New Era has already released some fitted 5950 MLB hats with mesh backs. I understand that might not be some people’s preference, but I don’t think it’ll be that bad. My biggest hope is they return to legible logos on the BP hats. https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/st-louis-cardinals/st-louis-cardinals-new-era-team-on-field-replica-mesh-back-59fifty-fitted-hat-red/o-2387+t-69129987+p-25646737401+z-9-1832002351?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r9c0:po-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC985 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It’s hard to imagine MLB not wearing New Era caps, but Nike is a big enough player to take that fight on if they want. Nike used to make really nice fitted caps for their college baseball teams before they switched to the Aero style. All it would take is MLB asking for a New Era style from Nike and I’m sure it could be produced. Current MLB leadership doesn’t care about tradition. If Nike writes the biggest check, they’ll get the contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
