New Era 59FIFTYs

Recommended Posts

None of them have the new bill, which may be the worst thing ever put on a hat.

There really isnt a new bill.

Yes there is. Check out a hat from a couple years ago to the recent ones. The new ones wick moisture away or some crap, but they don't retain a curve for crap.

The giveaway on that was the change from a Gray underside to Black I believe too.

The new bills for the on-field hats have the black underside supposedly to cut down on glare for the players, what a crock

I have a alright collection i have, they are in game hats:

Yankees x2

Phillies

Cubs

Giants

Tigers

hopefully i will be a few more for christmas

You don't know how hard it is for me to not rip those stupid hats off my bother's head, tear off the sticker and bend the brim! It irks me just to look at the damn things...

Hahaha well why would you quote my post to say that ?

also i got a Padres hat to add to the list

I dont know if its my head shape or just my non-sense of "style" but I can never get a 59/50 to look right on my head, I like the straight bill look but cant seem to pull it off...have a few Yankees caps...

The low profile models were kill. I find myself buying more Franchise hats since the make more obscure colleges and teams. It's good to see some people still like the Nords.

The black bill is a great improvement for on-field play, it really does cut down on the glare. I've played a ton of baseball and I always prefer the black under-brim to any white or other color brim.

Yes, weren't they the 39/30?

\

I'm in the same boat, they are too tall for me and since I'm bald, there's a sag in the center of the hat.

you can shrink em down a bit.. but if your head is shallow and bald, no amount of shrinking will do.

you could always wear it joe torre style

if you use luke warm water you can get quite a bit of shrink to them. I have a few 'short hair' hats that i cant wear when my hair is longer because i've shrunk them to hell

if you use hot water you get shrink lines and it looks gross.

if you have a spray bottle, spray it and put it on your head and just keep patting it down.. it'll eventually get to ( or close to ) where you need it.

Not sure, but the ones I have/had are 5950s but just had "low profile" on the sticker.

Didnt want to start a new thread but this is pretty much relevant to this one. Does anyone know where i can find 59/50 NHL hats. I have 7 Rangers hats but cant find a 59/50 style one ive been looking for quite some time. I have found weird fashion one with a blackout look or odd colors but not any Rangers just red white and blue, do they even make them?

They make a low profile 5950 - something like that?... 3930's are just those awful batting practice hats with the spandex on the sides, aren't they?

... Also, I love 5950 hats, and have a collection that is growing almost as fast as my head (I bought two last week in a size 8, and have a couple that are less than a year old in a 7 3/4 that I can't get on my head anymore, even after stretching).

My collection:

blue orange NY Mets (orange logo)

blue Montreal Expos

black Houston Astros

black Toronto Blue Jays road (with the 'T' logo on the front)

blue Chicago Cubs

black Ottawa Senators with red brim

black Houston Astros (fashion) with metallic gold brim/logo

green Houston Astros (fahion) with black brim/logo

black Houston Astros (fashion) with '70s/'80s logo (black star/white H)

Also, it's not likely, but if anyone has an Ottawa Lynx hat in a size 8 or 7 7/8 in unworn or very lightly worn condition, I am looking to purchase such a thing.

I'm not really a "hat guy," but I've been rocking a Nordiques 39thirty a lot lately. I saw it and I just HAD to buy it. I get a lot of compliments on it...though my coach just looked at me when I walked into the dressing room for practice the day after I bought it, shook his head and said "You're probably too fucking young to even remember when they were in Quebec."

Check out New Era's website. I know a friend of mine got a bunch either through their site or went to the retailer/where to buy link and found out.

Then you clearly haven't seen the majority of New Era's "fashion" hats. The only one I've bought for myself were their Stussy hats.

I dont wear them its more of a collection.. still looking for the batman one in my size though! these hats dont suit my head, I just think they look good on the top shelf in my room. I have MLB ones aswell, my uncle is an avid baseball fan and tries to get to a game in the states once a year, and usually grabs me a hat;

toronto blue jays "vintage"

montreal expos

new york yankees

phillies red

boston red sox

chicago cubs

the twins.

I want to get an Astro's hat real bad, because i think they have the best hat logo in baseball.
