About the Brand

New Era

The greatest headgear in the world is created by New Era, an international lifestyle brand with a genuine sporting legacy dating back over 92 years. New Era has asserted its position as a world leader in sports headwear and accessories. It is best recognized for serving as the official on-field cap for Major League Baseball and the National Football League. Over the years, streetwear brands have incorporated New Era fitted hats into their collections, which has helped solidify New Era’s place in the fashion industry. Companies such as Supreme and Stussy continue to release seasonal fitted hat collections.

New Era 59Fifty Fitted Hats

The New Era 59Fifty fitted hat is one of the first truly fitted baseball caps ever made. It is New Era's flagship hat style and has been circulating since the 1950s. It is also known as the “Brooklyn style” hat. In 1993 New Era received an exclusive contract with the MLB to make all on-field caps for the professional baseball teams. The New Era 59Fifty fitted hat features a flat visor and high crown. The front of the hat is reinforced to stand straight and stiff. The top of the peak is relatively flat. These hats are not adjustable and need to be ordered by size. New Era 59Fifty hats have a trademark gold sizing sticker on the top of the visor. That sticker is now part of the authenticity check of the cap. Most people keep the sticker on as a fashion statement.

New Era 59Fifty fitted hats are best known for their use in professional sports. For example, it is the official on-field baseball hat of the MLB. It is also the official sideline hat for the NFL. And in 2017, New Era signed a contract for exclusive rights to be the sole producer of on-court NBA hats. This deal made New Era the first headwear company to own rights for MLB, NFL, and NBA headwear simultaneously.

New Era 59Fifty hats are also popular in the fashion scene. In the 1980s and 1990s, New Era 59Fifty fitted hats became an influential accessory in streetwear fashion. Actors and hip-hop artists repped the iconic style. New Era's 59Fifty fitted hat's place in fashion helped solidify this hat as one of the top options in fitted caps in the United States. To celebrate, New Era deemed May 9 as 59Fifty day.

New Era designed the 59Fifty fitted hat for top performance. All of the textiles used are both comfortable and functional. The top features of a custom 59Fifty fitted hat are:

  • 50+ UPF protection on the visor

59Fifty Low Profile Fitted Hats

New Era came out with a second style of the 59Fifty hat. It features a lower profile that slopes down slightly at the crown. Also, the visor of this hat has a slight curve as opposed to the flat design of the original 59Fifty fitted hat. While this hat is still fitted, it is slightly bigger than the original, so New Era recommends that customers go one size down from the size they wear in the traditional 59Fifty fitted hat. The low profile 59Fifty fitted hat is a good choice if you prefer a lower profile hat or have a larger head.

New Era Snapback 9Fifty Cap

The Snapback 9Fifty, New Era hat is a retro style that became popular in the 1980s. It has a squared-off visor and tapered back opening. The back has an adjustable strap that varies in design. Some 9Fifty snapback hats have a traditional plastic snap closure, while others have a fabric closure that adjusts through a metal clasp.

The overall aesthetic of the New Era 9Fifty cap is very similar to the 59Fifty fitted hat. It has a high profile and flat crown. The brim of this hat is not curved. There are fewer size options in the snapback style because it is adjustable. The 9Fifty cap is available in small/medium, medium/large, and one size. However, the one size is noted to fit most head shapes and is the most popular size snapback that New Era sells.

The History of New Era

New Era was founded in 1920 by Ehrhardt Koch in Buffalo, New York. New Era broke into the pro sporting headwear scene in 1934 when they were contracted to make hats for the Cleveland Indians baseball team. Over the years, New Era began making headwear for more professional sporting teams.

In the 1950s, their original version of the fitted cap was revamped and officially named the 59Fifty. Nearly 40 years later, New Era was solidified as the top headwear manufacturer for professional sports teams when they signed an exclusive licensing agreement with MLB in 1993. This contract Hired New Era to make all on-field caps for MLB teams. New Era sold these on-field caps to fans as well.

Eventually, New Era broke into other professional sporting arenas, and in 2012 they signed a contract with the NFL to be the official manufacturer of their sideline hats. These 59Fifty NFL license hats became very popular with fans. In 2017 New Era became the first headwear company to own rights for hat production for all three of the top professional sporting leagues in the United States. In addition, they signed exclusive privileges with the NBA to create all their on-court hats. The association with the top professional sporting leagues is what helped solidify the 59Fifty hat as a staple cap in America.

Cons of Embroidering New Era Hats

Custom embroidering licensed New Era hats will bring down their value. Due to their popularity and longevity on the market, New Era's sports team hats from MLB, NBA, and NFL teams are collector items. Customizing one of these New Era hats with a company name or logo will demonetize the hat. However, if you plan on wearing your New Era fitted cap daily, you probably aren't worried about a resale value and should absolutely have it custom embroidered!

Embroidered cannot be added to brims of hats that are pre-structured. Most of the New Era hats come with structured visors.
