TopCat Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 So I am heavily debating getting a few "retro" caps, and the only ones I can really find are in the Cooperstown Collection. So I'm wondering what color the underbill is? Also, what are the chances I could safely remove the New Era logo stitched on the side? But most importantly, what do you think of the caps overall? Thanks for any help. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help.To what I know (i'm a hat collector myself) they have green underbills (if from that era) and don't have the 'Flag' logo on the side, also no MLB guy logo on the back.

no97 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 No info on the underbill color, but you have to check out Mickey's Place before you order anything:http://www.mickeysplace.com/fitted-adjustable-hats-cooperstown-collection-c-3_6.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Six Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 My California Angels one has a green underbill. None of them should have the New Era logo on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 The original ones had the green underbill, flat embroidery, and no New Era or MLB logos on it. The current ones have 3D embroidery and the New Era "flag" logo on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help.I have a few retro hats (1908 Cardinals, 1939-57 Dodgers, 1963-67 KC Athletics, 1909 Tigers), but they're made by American Needle, not New Era. Overall, I think they're pretty sharp hats and comfortable to wear. Besides, I don't really care for New Era.

tubby34 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 The color of the underbill is the color of the top of the bill on all the COOP's I own. Flag logo COULD be removed, but I'm unsure if you can still see the outline. It's sewn on, so a seam ripper would be needed. I kinda like the logo a bit, but to each their own. I own these coops--Marlins Teal/Black Bill (Black Under)Marlins Teal (Teal Under)Angels 1998 Navy/Baby Blue (Baby Blue Under)TB Rays 1998 (Black/Purple Bill) (Purple Under)Brooklyn Dodgers (All Blue) (Blue Under)Pirates Grey/Black Bill (Black under)I have a Mr. Red Cincinatti Reds one on the way, and it looks like a Red Underbill too.

infrared41 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Here is my collection of Cooperstown hats and the underbill is green on every one of them.1951 Indians1957-64 Cardinals1949-57 NY GiantsHouston Colt .45s 1972 Tigers1965 Angels1959 Indians1968 Indians1983 Expos1971 AngelsBrooklyn Dodgers (all blue)They are very high quality hats. They fit great. So far, none of my American Needle hats have had the inconsistency issues you find with New Era hats. All roads lead to Dollar General.

dahatman Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have 220 hats and half are Cooperstown Collection/New Era. All have green underbills and none have the NE logo on the side or the MLB logo on the back. The "Coop" collection at Lids has the NE brand on the side because they are considered a custom cap since the underbill is not green. The only places left to buy the "real" cooperstown collection caps is at Mickey's Place and www.minorleagues.com. New Era had a few Cooperstown caps on their site last year but an overwhelming majority of the caps were either incorrect in logo or color.
