Viking 1 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 ^ I like them because they don't shrink as badly as the wool ones did, I like the look of the black underbrim, and black sweatband on the inside (it doesn't get all yellow and gross from sweat).A question, does anyone know what the MLB 5950's with the grey underbrim are called? I've been looking for some EVERYWHERE but cant find a thing and I really want one.Any particular team/size you need? They're always on e-bay. I got a few on closeout for like $10 at a sports store last summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Those are 5950s but have been discontinued. They're now made with a brim that blocks glare and wicks moisture aka lame.It is sort of lame because you only benefit from it if you are playing in it.And 99% of people in NE caps aren't playing in them. They're good for keeping it flat/looking like a douche in the short time I've seen them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mack 44 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 I wore my hat like they're meant to be worn. I can't stand the people with stickers still on them that apparently clean them as well. I've got a Braves hat that literally feels like a Gary Carter helmet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a few on closeout for like $10 at a sports store last summer.Yeah I've been looking on ebay and found a couple but I already have the teams that I've found. I'll keep looking for them though. I also haven't had a problem with the hats forming to my head. All of the ones that I've curved the brims on fit good. The straight brims are terrible for wearing but I either never wear them or the only reason I keep the brim straight is because the hat looks stupid with a curved brim. Depends on what logo it is and color of the hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJ0506 191 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 One of my friends literally yelled at me the other day because I bought a new 59/50, took off the stickers, and rolled the brim. I cannot stand a flat brimmed hat, or leaving stickers on it. I occasionally deodorize my caps, but other that that I prefer when they look and feel worn in.

Viking 1 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 Mine aren't for sale - I was really just bragging about the deal I got. They're all size 7 7/8 or 8 anyway - I was probably 8 years old the last time my giant head fit in a size 7 cap, but I took a quick look at e-bay - there's one from the '03 World Series with the bidding at $8. The seller also has one for $12 buy-it-now.This one is pretty close to the same thing if you can fit into a 7 1/8. A Yankees one might be harder to find on a closeout than a lot of teams.

cbj05 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Here's the hats that I have at home right now, the rest of my hats (around 20 or so) are at school.I have at least 1 hat from every current MLB team except for the Yankees and Red Sox. (Because I absolutely hate those 2 teams.)My favorites from the ones pictured are probably the '83 O's, '72 Angels and my new Canada WBC's. The favorites that I don't have in this picture are probably my '69 A's and the current Rockies hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even a leather sweat if you want it. Not much more expensive then a standard 5950 is these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattzilla 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 So, being an oilers fan, and having been in edmonton for the last week, I decided it would be a good time to buy some nice oilers hats. After searching every store in west ed mall, and a few other ones in the city, i could only find the one i posted earlier, and a dark blue plain one in a size 7. i was pretty disappointed.so i bought 2 new jays hats ( black with all white logo and a different one that is hard to explain )...but i wanted an oilers one.
