For real. Paying $50 for a cap that now looks like it's made in china. Been buying them for two decades now, so it's easy to compare to older ones i have, and you can just tell there's no quality assurance anymore.
Shout out New Era! You guys legit are the best. I don’t leave my house without that Dodger blue LA hat. Thank you for what you’ve done for people and for the culture.
Back in the 90s in UK. New Era caps were rare, and people wasnt really aware. I got a grey NYY 5950 from JJB then I managed to get a Red Yankees cap from Footlocker. They were made so much better back then. All low profile. Grey bill. Just great to wear. Now they look like a box on ya head. Hard to break in. I miss the 90s.
5950 is just a standard shape now. I would reference it for shape build when sending spec guides to China all the time. What’s more crazy is these $2 hats are sold for $50
@@donellweaver5722 Fanatics is still the official apparel provider. Infact all around now as Adidas gave way to Fanatics to do the jerseys too. being a hat company New Era has always made hats for all the leagues regardless of sponsorship.
I love how you guys used footage and pictures of the factory in New York that you closed in 2019, causing 200 people to lose their jobs. It gives the false impression that it still exists. You also mislead the public by selling MLB on-fields made overseas even though the ones the players receive are actually made in the Miami-Dade area. The ones in stores should be sold as replicas, because that's what they are.
@@DrefDref-q4p their official reason was that they no longer wanted their own employees doing the actual manufacturing and wanted to use contractors instead so they could focus more on being a "brand." However, their state tax benefits for keeping the plant open were going to expire. Coincidence?
@@insomniac186 that’s a lame excuse the real reason was it was cheaper to outsource there factory over seas a lot of the workers who make these hats get paid very little in these factories and they know that they know that in USA it would never slide and be acceptable there people making only a few dollars in their factories making the hats. They outsourced it to not just china now but places like Bangladesh Laos Vietnam Haiti and a few more. They figure they can save as such money using cheap labor and sell their product for more than their worth.
Let's talk about the decline of the 59Fifty, that is, since it's no longer produced in the USA. When it was made in the USA, it had a better shape, better stitching, better overall quality. An American pride, produced elsewhere, with all the problems involved
@RRFineArt ABSOLUTELY! Quality of the 59Fifty hats definitely dropped after U.S. production stopped. The sizes also stopped being reliable and accurate. Two hats of the same size will not fit the same. And the NE logo on the side is cheeseball garbage. It makes this once beautiful lid look like it came from a Sunday hat giveaway to the first 10,000 fans through the gates. Luckily, some patient and careful work with a razor blade and tweezers will take care of the hideous NE logo. Like Spike said, the MLB logo patch on the back means it’s a New Era.
Overseas made, low quality, size inconsistencies, I have been wearing new era hats for the last 25 years, you can tell the difference between old US made and now overseas made hats
My thoughts. They go on about the "love and passion" but that's not the vibe I've been getting the past years with them moving production overseas and overall just making an inconsistent product.
Thank you new era for your impact on sports and hip hop culture.when I was in high school during the ‘00’s I would always wear a 5950 to school I couldn’t wear it but I’d hold it with my folder jus to show the coordination with the fit.i became so known for having fitteds all the time that New Era became my stage name as an MC and I wear it with pride!!!the day I collab with you guys is the day I know I’ve made it!!!#59504Life#NewEraForever#DhatGang
The only thing I don't like about the 59Fifty is the sizing is inconsistent, some 7 1/4 hats are tight fitting, some 7 1/4 hats are loose fitting, and some are just right, some 7 1/8 hats fit like 7 1/4, some 7 5/8 hats fit like 7 1/4, and don't say it's how long my hair is, it's not
Sadly I can’t find 59fifties around with the quality it used to be.. even more so, most of the LIDS and other hat stores sell snapbacks.. I miss ordering blanks and rocking our company logo and my favorite sports teams on a true fitted 59fifty.. just ain’t been the same 😭
All the hats are made in Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries outside the USA and it's always a crapshoot if your size is going to fit. Maybe focus on consistent quality regardless of where they are made. It would also be nice if you made these in the USA.
I love HipHop and got inspiration to wear Fitted hat's from Cube and the Westside Connection group couze i'm a huge fan of Cube. Love these Fitteds hat, the best what coming out in the world. It's beautifull and cool. It will be cooler when New era make more Citys in there's Hats like Citys from Germany or other country.
Am I the only who's seen quality control issues lately. I recently got a KC Chiefs fitted hat with multiple issues. The material under the bill is wavey and the word Chiefs on the back is crooked.
One of the 1st fitted New Era hats I got, didn't even have the flag on the side. It was a University of Tennessee Orange fitted 7 3/8. Not like Jimmy Houston trucker, Orange w/white T
Every NE hat that I have bought is too small. I take a 7.5 and everyone I have bought at MLBShop is to small even though the label says 7.5. Poor quality control
The one thing this video need is Fred Durst lol. I mean no disrespect, sure Spike Lee is the 1st person who wear the red Yankee cap but I think Fred help further popularize it to many people outside US like myself, in the late 90's and early 00's red backward yankee cap is associated with Fred, just type limp bizkit on youtube searchbar the top 5 music vid are him wearing the red cap 🤣🤣
@themancaveclub the ones the MLB players receive for in-game wear still are, it's required by MLB. It's possible to get them, you just have to go through each team's game used sales departments.
Bring back the quality of new era prices keep going up while quality keep tanking

New Era 59fifty fitted cap is the best baseball cap of all time in history.
You’re obviously not old enough to remember Tim McAuliffe/ KM Pro. Look them up, New Era ain’t 💩 compared to what they were.
What about it?
Huge shout out to all the fitted collectors 🧢🎉

I became a fan of the 59fifty with that MLB logo because of Fred Durst.
Fr…He was the man.

New Era we love you and also happy that you will do NHL hats once again in fitted and snapback as I remember
@ThatChrisDude wait a minute u didn't know that the New Era made a deal with the NHL to make hats for the teams again
@ThatChrisDude U welcome!!!!

I have new era Blues fitteds already 🤷🏽♂️
@Trippy-Hatfitter how u got Blues fitted already New Era hasn't released the hats yet for every team yet
Need to bring some American production back, New Era Premium edition. I personally would pay a premium for one.
New Era used to make good stuff. Not for a while now. Maybe they need to bring production back home to the U.S.?

I think they are made in Bangladesh
When I was a kid back in the mid 2000’s. The quality was decent. Now the quality is hit or miss. Bring back USA made NEW ERA. Business will boom more.
the line "Well, it's going to be all yours now. Don't F' it up" hit me hard. You can probably relate if you lost a parent.

It's a shame the caps are now such different patterns and poor quality with them mostly being outsourced overseas.
Love your hats and have been wearing them for years ! I even lost on in the Pacific Ocean lol. Keep up rhe great work.

They are all hand stitched... There's room for error.
As they're made in different factories in different countries except where they should be made, usa
Everybody in the video: “it symbolizes where you’re from… it’s who I represent”
*Meanwhile I’m over here buying random mlb hats to match my outfit*
Been buying new era caps since 1982. Have almost every on field model since that point
This was truly Dope ..
Have over 400 5950s in the collection 🙌🎉
Fred durst ❤ RED CAP!
The Cleveland Indians wahoo fitted is the all time best designed hands down .. retired and now a collectible if you know you know .
Sadly I can’t find 59fifties around with the quality it used to be.. even more so, most of the LIDS and other hat stores sell snapbacks.. I miss ordering blanks and rocking our company logo and my favorite sports teams on a true fitted 59fifty.. just ain’t been the same 😭
Loved this. Why did it take until 2024 to get this.
Best hat ever made period! I rock 59fiftys 365 days
All the hats are made in Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries outside the USA and it's always a crapshoot if your size is going to fit. Maybe focus on consistent quality regardless of where they are made. It would also be nice if you made these in the USA.
New Era caps are quite popular with street gangs too. 😂
So are cars and clothes and basic everyday needs. You Darwin UA-cam comments today 🤡
I need a "bodega" KC Newera💯💯💯💰
I do hope New Era can maintain its quality 💪🏻👍🏻
What are the caps available with the circumference of 52CM ?
6 1/2
New era,no competition!
Best there is!
celbrating an icon!
Great story, I want to buy a new 5950 now

Always wanted to know the history behind new era and fitteds
This was quality film about a quality product! Congrats Set Free!! Great story...gotta get my new era 7 hat from the Compound!!🎉🎉🎉

The future is letting us design our own and select what patch what team logo we want on the hat. @NewEra let us design and create

I would love to have an account with New Era.
I have a store and would like to sell original NE hats.
Y'all some trolls for putting an Expos hat in the ceo talking scenes
Sizing is super super bad. Your rolling the dice buying online. And a made in the US offering would be absolutely fantastic 🤷♂️
💚
With sweatshops in Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, Haiti, there’s no consistency to sizing, symmetry or quality. Come on New Era, you can do better.
There is no substitute
I was the 599 like.. new era
MAKE 5950 CAPS $25 AGAIN!!!
Quality control is still trash... I had too many caps to return. But good commercial. LoL!
I prefer 39thrity. It’s a better fit for me. LET’S GO YANKEES!!
Also, C.C. would get a brand new hat every inning. That’s the story at least.

Yeah well maybe make two 🧢 in the same size fit the same and too many brims wanna crack when you just give em a Lil bend... 😔 🤦🏻♂️ 😡
