phutmasterflex Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 I would get one if they weren't damn flatbills. At least you could wear a RBK flexfit like a normal baseball cap.You know you can bend the bills of the caps so they curve, right?That's like saying "Why not just iron out the curve of Flexfit?" Sure you can, doesn't mean it will look right.Derek Lowe does it and it looks pretty much like what a flex fit does. Flex fits are not made to be flattened, but these 59Fiftys can be curved. Go A's!

NEW.ERA Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 This is what they should have done since Draft Day. Use the 5950 fitted, and they can just be re-used until someone changes their logo. Hope it has the NFL shield on the back, and not the font of the team, or helmet. Definitely getting a Packers one.I'd like to see the Lombardi cap added as a Packers alternate.Mitchell & Ness came out with one like that. Albeit ugly as sin. And a snapback.

Except for the fact that I'm 99% certain that is a low-rise version of the 5950, which comes with a natural bend in the cap. The point is, I know I'm in the minority. But for the few of us who enjoy wearing our baseball caps like actual baseball caps, there is way too much room in the crown of the cap for it to be wearable.

But I think the reason why to me it's not that big of a deal is because these caps aren't used on the field of play. These are just worn on the sideline for the five minutes the players are there before they have to hit the field again. Unlike baseball caps which actually serve a purpose to the game itself, these in a sense to me are fashion caps so the fact that they are flat or curved doesn't matter to me because caps aren't essential to the NFL Go A's!

Wow, that's actually really nice. I'm still not a huge fan of the pewter color being used as the base, but the contrasting bill and button actually make that a VERY nice looking cap. If the pewter color was black, it'd be the exact hat I've been wanting for years now. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

The brims are not different RE: natural bend. All 5950s are made to have the brim bent, but they are shipped with the brims flat. They do this so the buyer can bend them to his specifications. If you keep the brim flat, the hat will not fit accurately on the head. The areas of the headband by the corners of the brim stick out and don't touch your head unless you put a bend in the brim. There is a little too much crown in the 5950s for my taste, but that has nothing to do with the brims being curved or flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not a fan. Red is their primary color, so the hat should be red. Pewter doesn't translate as a flat color. This would be the PERFECT opportunity for New Era to use the shiny metallic fabric they formerly used for the Astros, Mariners and Dodgers. Make a red hat with a shiny pewter brim and it would be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was the outlier, but that's how mine came. Also, it looks like with the two-tone bill (one color on top, another on the bottom), that it may have added some extra thickness to the bill, which may make it harder to put a good bend in the cap. Again, I can only go off of the preview images... but that's what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Can't go wrong with these. They only knock on them might be that they're safe, but I have no problem with that. QC with 5950s is another issue, though. I hope it's getting better as opposed to worse, because it was already pretty bad.

Michigan Dave Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ugh. Flat brim? I mean, I'll buy one because I buy all on-field Pats merchandise, but it will never be worn. The Reebok flexfits were so much better. 7 1/4 head size= looks ridiculous trying to wear 59Fifty. They're OK backwards, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltere Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Bucs & Lions look bad, but IMO any cap where the brim is darker than the crown looks bad.Apart from that, on the whole a pretty sweet set of caps, so nice to finally see something for the NFL which hasn't been way overdesigned.I don't think it's been mentioned but the Chargers' cap is powder blue, straight pandering to the fans or a potential sign of things to come? 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ugh, not a big fan of the Bucs using two different colors for brim and hat. I've never been a fan of that. I like one solid, unless there is a design or something that is a different color, but overall one base color.The logos are a little big, seem too big, from the pictures. But I like these much better than the draft hats. I've never bought or liked the draft hats in many many years before, so I shouldn't be surprised or let down I didn't like and buy this years.This is what I wanted from New Era though, a team color hat with the logo on the front. Just would prefer all teams be solid color.And someone said something about the Bucs logo on a red hat, red logo on red hat. Why not? There is a red logo on their red jerseys. I wish they would have made it all red or all black or even all pewter. Just not the different color brim, looks weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 80 of my caps have bends in the curve and I have no problem with them. If you buy the wrong size hat, then you'll look like a moron. All of mine were bought at Lids, and are all high crown version. Bend the brim properly (While on your head, and bend equally) and eventually your hat will fit right. Bend the brim in store before you buy it. It's not some magical process to wear a hat, bend it and it'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
