I would but I'd probably have to go for a real one cause the knockoffs for his all look weird, at least on the various sites' pictures. Like the nameplate font might be wrong, or just off center, number font is wrong for the AFL throwback ones, and name/number size is all over the place.

I was checking out the hats again last night and noticed they had some buzzwords the MLB caps didn't have (afaik):

quote:

COOLERA� moisture-wicking technology manages perspiration
DRYERA� technology repels water in inclement weather

Anyone have one and can tell whether it feels any different than their other caps?

If we're doing capchat, is there any way to order a custom hat size? I have a tremendous noggin and new era doesn't make hats that fit me.

I own a Phillies cap but it's for show

They do custom hats but I didn't check to see if they do monster head sizes, they're MLB only...and $60 I think. And no returns barring manufacturing defects. Checked out whether Mitchell and Ness or some of the others make larger sizes?

I found a hat I wanted last night but now I'm paranoid about ~~capsizing~~ cap sizing.

I'd suggest you go to the Lids or Hatworld at the local mall. They should carry whatever hat you're looking for, and at the least you should be able to figure out what size you wear. The only hat I've ever ordered online fit perfectly.

I have a New Era hat from a few months back so I know my size, just concerned about the posts above mentioning the size varying in their experience.

MissileWaster posted:

While we're still talking hats, the New Era Cold Weather Collection is up. Most of it is pretty but the dog-ear 59Fifty looks awesome and I may need to get one.

Yeah I kind of want one too even though I'm in Southern California and wouldn't have a use for it :v:

. It would fit in line with thinking I need a Raiders hat for every occasion, been thinking about the bucket hat for days where I'd be outside a lot.

It looks like the tail of the swoosh points towards the back of the jersey on both shoulders... isn't that how it is on the authentic player-worn jerseys as well?

Yeah, although that might've been what he meant by "going the same way" (i.e. could also mean the swoosh isn't flipped, depending how you read it). In the Luck one on the right arm you can't spot the head of the swoosh in either jersey there, like the one on the left showing the front may be a messed up one.

Well I got a (non football) hat of the same size and it feels a bit bigger. Noticed the shape is slightly different, so I guess my previous one was a "mid crown" while this one was listed as "high crown", plus the construction/material appears to be different. Guess I'll head into a store and try more styles and sizes out to be sure before buying another one.

I wish NHL teams had the option to tell Reebok to gently caress off when they did the same thing. It's pretty awesome that 4 teams rejected FLYWIRE (tm) and 5 teams rejected the design completely.

But they're at a competitive disadvantage without the reduced weight and lockdown fit and increased articulation and zoned mesh ventilation :ohdear:

I just got one of the dog eared New ERA caps for my birthday and it is awesome. I think its little bit bigger than my same sized Twins hat but that could be due to them being handmade and not a brand wide problem. Plus if I ever want to make sure its secure I can use my chin strap, so warm

How's that material feel, and does it cover the whole inside or just the flappy part? And is the strap just velcro or a button or something?

...not that I have a reason to get one in Southern California, but uh, there was a cool breeze today :effort:

. Might've gotten one by now anyway, if not for the colored NFL logo on the back of all the hats, it should be monochrome on the Raider ones :spergin:

For the hat wearers, if the initial selection didn't do anything for you, just keep looking around. It seems like there's new variations coming out semi regularly, not all of which show up on New Era's site (...or any one particular store for that matter). Also Amazon tends to have them for significantly less than the usual hat places, if they have the hat you're looking for at least.

# ¿ Nov 15, 2012 23:27

Well that's...something.

I'd love to see a few of the NFL teams do that, specifically ones like the Chiefs.

Picked up an Eagles 59/50 yesterday. It took me a while to find one that fits properly, but I managed to.

I also bought a Phillies 59/50, and that one was an eighth bigger (Eagles 7 1/4, Phils 7 3/8), and they fit exactly the same. The lesson here is to avoid buying New Era 59/50 hats online if you can help it.

I was about to post something similar after comparing the new one I got a few days ago with some others. Now I have two 7 3/8ths that range from about right to too big/loose but still wearable (online ordered), and now a 7 1/4 that is...right between them :downs:

. I ordered a 7 3/8 too (yay free returns), which turned out bigger than the other big one so that's going back.

I'll probably get my next one in store barring some other random design I really like. Still annoyed I missed out on a Mitchell and Ness one from last year, drat things feel like they go in and out of production too quickly (compared to the standard/main ones which I guess will be around all the time).

Bumpin the thread since it looks like some hats are starting to become clearance items online. Got one of the drifit like training camp hats for $10 and saw others like the draft day caps and some other random styles for $10-15.

Regular Raiders dog ear wasn't one of them though :saddowns:

. Got a Dodgers dog ear for $15...and continues my sizing confusion, 7 3/8 and fits perfectly (while my previous hat was massive and had to go with 7 1/4 there).

I guess that'd be the "Tailored fit designed for movement"...which is also listed under the Limited, while the Elite has "Zoned stretch fabric for a close fit".

Forgot about the teams that didn't change at all, wonder if their Limiteds are bizarro new style versions or something.

I also think the new Dolphins logo is as good an update as it was gonna get, but the old one is such a classic that pretty much anything looks bad in comparison.

I guess that's how I feel too...well that and it sort of makes me think of a park like Seaworld rather than the football team.

Considering how much New Era screws around with logos/colors I'm surprised they haven't just done something like that themselves.

Has anyone actually gone back and looked at the amount of holding calls this season and compared them to previous years, since that was ostensibly the point of the NIKE^TM FLYWIRE ^TM stuff

Don't forget the LOCKDOWN FIT.

I doubt it made much of a difference as far as holding (since you grab by the pad edges to hold a block), but perhaps it reduced the blatant looking jersey pulling ones.

Good timing on hat chat. I got another one that just came in today, and I think I finally have a sense of what size I should get from now on (taking into account the actual size variability): the one they don't make that would go between 7 1/4 and 7 3/8 :doh:

. Just a little flex fit to them would keep me from going insane.

As far as designs go I hate a lot of the Raiders ones too. The really annoying thing I've found is that a few of the ones I've liked ended up being snapback only designs. On the plus side they finally made basic one with a black and white (instead of color) NFL logo, but it's exclusive to Lids :wtc:

Edit: y'all got some throwbacks too so at least it's not nothing:

I was in a footlocker last week and every Browns hat was 50% off. So I guess only a Browns hat could top that garbage Giants hat

Well there seems to be some decent looking Brownie hats at least.

But I think we have a new winner:

And the price for this privilege of showing no particular team loyalty whatsoever? Only $60!

They look slightly better in this video. Maybe they'll look OK in motion.

Yeah there's actually a gradual fade (or maybe the lighting is just being friendly) instead of...whatever they did with that other helmet:

Is it worth getting the Nike limited jerseys over their game jerseys? I don't want to order a Chinese knockoff.

Haven't seen either...but feature wise the big thing is stitched on/embroidered stuff (numbers, name, patches, etc) vs screen printed on. According to this video (Seahawks comparison) pretty much everything else is the same other than flywire. I remember some people saying the fit is weird on the Game ones, and I guess that applies to the Limited ones too. Nike's comparison page lists some other stuff but I don't know how noticeable that stuff is, or how it works with teams like the Raiders which didn't really change uniforms at all.

While I was getting the new Dolphins and Jags logos for Eliminator I noticed one more thing, did anyone notice that the Vikings logo was tweaked too? Or "EVOLVED" apparently:

quote:

1. Horn Shape: The shape of the horns has been adjusted and the shading in the horns has changed.
2. Horn Base: The base of the horn now resembles the horn on the players� helmets.
3. Face Detail: Thicker lines have been added to the mustache and face.
4. Vikings Gold: The Vikings Gold is now brighter and less brassy.
5. The Braid: The braid has been shortened, resulting in a reduced logo height.

I guess they buy padded envelopes for cheap and ship in those first class for $2-3. Or yeah, just get the $5-6 flat rate stuff.

So what's the recommended sizing with these things (Elite jersey)? I generally wear medium shirts nowadays, but am big enough that some larges are wearable too.
