How to Create Your Own New Era Hat
Since 1993, New Era Hat has held exclusive rights to produce the on-field caps of all Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. This licensing also allows them to mass-produce hats with team logos for fans. Due to a combination of this marketing and proven quality, New Era 59fifty has developed a fan base in its own right. Many New Era fanatics have moved beyond MLB caps to design their own custom headgear. With a variety of shapes, sizes and styles it is easy to customize your own cap in-store, online or over the phone.
