Just talked to some folks at minorleagues.com today. Those are still pre-sale hats. They have them in stock, but won't ship out until the 30th. I was inquiring, because they were "out of stock" on some sizes I wanted, and said they may get a new shipment in before they distribute all of their orders.

Looks like everything is right on schedule.

just got back from spring training down in Clearwater. at the phillies store, picked up the new polyester 5950 hat for $25. seems that the new 5950's are running a size bigger. in the wool hat, i wore a 7 3/8, but in the new hat a 7 1/4 fit me almost exactly the same as the wool hat.

overall, i like the new 5950.

Agree with the quality thing... I tried on a Dodgers new cap at their store last week during spring training, and a 7 3/8 was too big, but a 7 1/4 didn't work either. I really like the new hats, but being in between sizes sucks. It's the same problem if I try to buy mesh or wool-acrylic college baseball caps.

So apparently, the MLBShop jumped the gun by more than a week and the new hats are already available. Looks like were gonna get to put ours out before the March 29th deadline.

I tried some of these new hats at the Mariners Team Shop at the Alderwood Mall Saturday, and truth be told, I didn't have any sizing issues with them. They all fit as good as the old wool hats did. Note to self: Pick one up...... and a Mets BP hat. That one is the best of the bunch, the black not withstanding.

Not so... if you read the listing, they are all on backorder, 2-4 weeks, which puts them at the same time table as everyone else. This has been the case ever since they were listed.

Ahhh, I see now. I thought they even took them off of backorder. My mistake then.

They better realize the error of their ways and revert to wool when it comes time to replace my Cubs hat. Right now, though, it HELLA FITS LIKE A FREAKEN GLOVE, good old 5950 fitted to my head in a rain shower with the backing stripped. Thanks for teaching me how to break in a hat, CCSLC!

I just got my new 2007 Royals cap from MLB.com and I love it. By the way, the MLB logo is now gold and matches the rest of the uniform set.

Woah, really? All the Royals caps ive seen still have the silver logo. Thats odd.

i just got back from my spring training trip and i bought the new mets all blue and all black game cap and i can truly say i am so pleased. to be quite honest, the polyester isn't a huge fabric difference. and the fit in incredible. i've never been happier with how a 5950 fit me.i thought i was going to hate it, too, but i am really pleasantly surprised.
