New Era

New Era Sports Team Caps

New Era is, among others, an exclusive manufacturer of MLB Caps for American professional baseball teams. In numerous versions, the well-known logos of the baseball teams are immortalized in unique creations on licensed New Era caps. Caps from New Era, such as the popular Snapback Caps, stand for high quality and hot trends in the world of headwear. As the official manufacturer of Major League Baseball caps, the New Era shop is, of course, the go-to spot for all sports enthusiasts, especially baseball fans.

The Buffalo-based New Era Cap Company was founded in 1920 by German immigrant Ehrhardt Koch and, after almost 100 years, is still family-owned. Since the 1950s, the company has maintained close ties with the MLB, the professional baseball league in North America.

Since that time, New Era has been an exclusive manufacturer of the official MLB Caps, which are also worn by players on the field. New Era Baseball Caps are also used in other sports and by their players.

While New Era caps aren't a fixed part of the team uniform during active play in football or basketball, the teams of the NBA (National Basketball Association) and the NFL (National Football League) are also equipped with corresponding team caps.

So, New Era shops aren't just for fashion-forward trendsetters, but also for sports fans who want to show support for their team.

The logos of famous teams like the New York Yankees or the Chicago Bulls are now household names even for non-sports fans, as their emblems have become a common decoration on caps worldwide. But sports teams aren't the only popular motif for the trendy Caps from New Era.

You'll also find merchandise from DC Comics and Marvel in the shop. With Superman, Batman, and most recently the Avengers , numerous superheroes adorn New Era beanies and caps, providing a ‘non-sporty’ alternative.

New Era Caps

The premium brand New Era stands for current fashion trends with a history, always keeping their finger on the pulse. The ‘59Fifty’ isn't just a household name in North America; it represents the official model of New Era caps in American baseball.

Over the last 50 years, the 59Fifty has become a standard in industrial cap and hat manufacturing, as well as a fashion pioneer. Typical features of this specific model include a high, structured crown and a flat brim.

In general, almost all New Era caps are structured, meaning they are made from a grippy, shape-retaining, and robust material. The 29Twenty New Era Cap, on the other hand, is unstructured, making it easy to crush and store in a space-saving way. Thanks to its elasticity, it also offers particularly soft wearing comfort. New Era caps are available in all closure types.

The popular 59Fifty New Era cap is available in several sizes and, as a Full Cap , is closed at the back just like the 39Thirty, which, however, has a pre-curved brim.

Other models feature a stretch fit or, like the 9Fifty, are equipped with an adjustable closure – either as a Snapback cap or with a leather strap including a metal buckle – to perfectly adapt to your head shape. Trucker Caps also have their place in the American brand's range. Solid or even unusual colors are featured as Snapback and Strapback caps.

New Era Flat Brim Caps

The New Era shop has long since become more than just a goldmine for sports fans; the 59Fifty in particular has developed into a globally sought-after trend in recent years. In the past, baseball caps from New Era and other brands were often characterized by their pre-curved brim.

For models delivered with a flat brim, a kind of ritual has emerged among die-hard cap fans. For a long time, ‘breaking in’ the brand-new cap and, as the first order of business, individually curving the brim to break it in was a must.

Coming from the hip-hop and skater scenes, however, caps with a flat brim that is not curved are increasingly being preferred. These caps are especially popular among young people. The version with an ‘unbroken’ visor is also known as a New Era cap or New Era Snapback and signifies a high level of trend and fashion awareness in the wearer.

In addition to a straight brim, the brand sticker on it is also particularly important. Although it originally only provided information about the brand and model, it has become a kind of status symbol and must not be removed under any circumstances, as it effectively certifies the authenticity of the cap.
