KennyRock Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I'm trying to collect a lot of the MLB caps, which can obviously get pretty expensive. So, I'm looking to get as many as I can on eBay. This one looks like the official home cap for the 'Stros, but I'm not 100% sure cause the tags are obscured - any thoughts?The one on eBay:Official game cap for the Astros site: New York Jets |3-3| First, AFC EastNew York Mets |74-88| Fourth, NL EastNew York Islanders|34-37-11| Fifth, Atlantic DivisionNew Orleans Hornets |21-45| Third, Southwest Division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aengre Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Looks legit to me, but I'm definitely no expert. The pic makes it hard to see the stitching and all that, but I'd say it's a go.

Swiss Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 The eBay's cap... is it New Era Cap? It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyRock Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 I sent the seller a question asking him that - his item description doesn't say if it's New Era or not. That's the main reason i'm unsure, cause those tags(what I cans ee of them) don't look like New Era tags.

sj32 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 That does not look like New Era tagging sticking out of the back and the shape is wrong. In fact, New Era doesn't put tags on an authentic cap, usually just a sticker on the bill with the company logo and the cap's size. I don't think it's legit.

KennyRock Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 I think I agree with you. When I bought my authentic Mets cap, all there it had was a New Era sticker on the bill.

CKini25 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Thats clearly not a new era cap. It would have that sticker not those tags, that and it looks more like a wool composite instead of 100% wool. Is it even fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyRock Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 It is fitted, but now that I think of it, he called it a FlexFit cap, which means it stretches rather than has a definite size like the New Era caps do - thanks man, hadn't even thought of that.

Stupid pop culture... hadn't started seeing it that much til last year...and of course you can blame it on rap videos. cus see, they started leaving the stickers and tags on their hats....and of course everybody wants to be kewl so now everybody's rockin the "i'm too lazy to peel the stickers off" hat. i think i'll wear my hat with no stickers, just to be different...wait, i was doing that already hooray me.

slapshot Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I noticed it a few years ago...this trend includes leaving the New Era sticker on the bill, and not bending the bill at all, so it looks like it was lifted from the store.

pcgd Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 As Fat Joe said in a recent issue of FHM....The hat still looks "fresh" with the tags. Don't bend the bill, I wanna kill a guy if I see him bending the bill. Also buy the hat 2 sizes too big.What??? I break all those rules. I want a grungy ass hat, with as much curve as I can get, tight and low on my head. I'll occationally rooster it to the right, but that was a thing we did for college baseball for some reason. Old habits die hard i guess. Anyway...I break all of Fat Joe's Rules...I guess i'm a loser or something...I dunno.Time to get off topic...Another hat question...back in HS (6 or 7 years ago) there was a group that put the fishhooks on their bills. Like Larry the Cable guy does. Did anyone else do that? Seemed dumb to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejroll Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Leaving the stickers on is just a stupid trend in the rap industry. I wouldn't follow any rules by a guy who wrote a dance song that involved as little movement as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
