New Era Of The 59Fifties

When it comes to premium caps for sports and fashion, the new era caps are always on the top of our heads. Started as a company that manufactured "newsboy" caps in the 1920s, the new era caps are now the premier cap worn by every Major League Baseball team and their minor league affiliates, and maintains agreements with other licensed entities including NHL, NBA and over 200 colleges and universities in the United States.

Among of new era's collection of caps is the 59Fifties. 59Fifty is a brand of hats made by the new Era Cap Company based in Buffalo, New York. They are often referred to as "Fitted Hats" or "Brooklyn Style Caps". They have become increasingly fashionable in urban centers and within the Hip-Hop culture.

They come in 9 different sizes that range from 7 inches to 8 inches. The average price is roughly $32.99 (American Dollars) except when purchased at a Flagship store where they tend to be less expensive. The caps are available in not only every Major and Minor league baseball team in an assortment of colors, but in NHL and some NBA. The cap is also available with assorted city names and Marvel character designs on them.

In March 2007, new Era changed the design of their 59Fifty hats significantly. The hats are now made of 100% performance polyester, which still has a wool feel and look to it, but has been described as softer, more durable, lighter, and fit more comfortably than the old versions. The crowns are also said to not be as "box-shaped" as the older style.

Replacing the gray underbill is a new black colored underbill, which was made to help reduce glare. The sweatbands have been changed from white to black, in order to make sweat stains less evident. The brims are also said to have become sturdier and do not bend as easily as the older style.

Since new era's change in design in 2007, the overall reviews of the hat have been positive. They are said to fit better, feel more comfortable, and overall are more asthetically pleasing than the previous hats.

Along with the 59Fifty, new Era produces styles like the 49Forty, 39Thirty, 29Twenty, EK, Capture the Flag, and also designs women's and kids' caps.
