2 years into it, how do you feel about New Era?

I have been very, very disappointed to say the least. The design of the hats have been pretty awful, and the actual production quality is even worse. I'd never imagine that I would prefer the former Reebok line of Saints hats, but as of today this is where I stand.

My big request is that they start producing NFL low crown hats. This is a much more normal look for most people. The problem is they only make the hat for five teams (Texans,Steelers,49ers,Bucs,Skins) It is a damn shame because the low crown is by far the best New Era cap.




On a side note, isn't that a random list of five? I guess I can see SF and Pitt since they sell a lot of gear but why the frick does Tampa get one?

Not really buying hats these days...the flat bill makes my size 8 head look even more like a watermelon.

Not a hat guy, but I agree that these new hats have been really lame looking. Especially the draft day ones.

However, it makes the NFL less money if they suck, so I'm okay with this. Continue the suckage.

It looks like the shite you would find at a truck stop.

You can bend the bill. It isn't rocket science.

Which you can't do is reduce the crown, hence the need for a low crown model.

These are good for guys like hats that sit on top of the head as opposed to actually having your head in them.

Someone reference truckers hats. Id tend to agree.

Those look like the bill is too short for a bend and will make it look weird. Just going by the picture though.

What is a low crown hat ?

A hat with a crown that isn't as tall as their normal model. It hugs the head more instead of having a big gap between your head and the top of the crown in the front that you get on the MLB caps.

Yeah I have a shallow head so it's rare that I get a new hat that fits right. Low crown is essential.

agree.

I've got a bunch of Saints hats.

the oldest one I have... I believe I got it just before the 1998 season.

that is the one I wear to the Dome when I make it over for a game.

I can't remember if the hat was a gift or if I bought it somewhere, grey hat with a gold bill. it has the fluer de lis in the middle with New Orleans Saints around it. also has the Est. 1967
on it.

the newest hat I have is this one
