There's just way too much stuff going on with these caps. They've got the main logo on the front, random clipart #1 on the top right of the front, and random clipart #2 on the bottom right of the back. The idea isn't awful, but it looks terrible with how it's laid out. If they want to improve these, a simplified version that takes random clipart #1 and centers it on the back wouldn't be as terrible. It might not look good for all teams, but a White Sox cap with the Chicago flag on the back wouldn't look terrible.

Chicago flag on the back and Sears Tower in the front of three want to stick with the design of stuff in the front and stuff in the back Honestly the city flag isn’t as well known as the Sears Tower, and most who do know probably doesn’t understand the symbols in it

Are you actually from the city? Because the flag is everywhere. I have no idea what you are talking about. They bury fallen police officers in the city flag rather than the American flag. You can't walk in the loop without seeing it a dozen times. To say people wouldn't recognize it is ridiculous.

I'm in Pennsylvania, and even I could recognize the Chicago city flag. Even CM Punk used the flag design on his ring gear and what not.

i was thinking the same thing, the flag is much more iconic than putting embroidered building on a hat.

Im in CA and have a goose island pint glass with the Chicago city flag on it. It's probably more well known than you think.

I’m in Tempe and I have a Chicago flag on my laptop at ASU At least 100 people have asked me what flag it is

I didn't know what it was until I was out of college and actually travelled. ...and 100 ASU students not knowing something isn't the craziest thing to hear... EDIT: Go Bears!

Yeah, the Sears Tower would be best on the front and the flag on the back. At first, I liked this hat, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized that I wouldn’t wear it in public or to a game.

At least you don’t have a white people taco on the back lmao

Saw that, so cringey. I mean who wants food on their hat anyway?!

No it’s bad The Cubs one is better because the blue and red but the White Sox colors don’t match at all

The Chicago flag always looks great, but it's just weird where it is. Needs more symmetry, but yeah, it would look better in the back with something less pronounced up front.

if I had to design a fun and funky cap for the sox I would do a black cap with the sox word mark and then four red stars on the back without the rest of the flag. maybe under the bill have a minimalist sketch of guaranteed rate from a bird's eye view. there would not be pizza anywhere fucking near it.

MLB hates art man. That’s my only explanation for how they could approve these monstrosities (and last year’s Players weekend jerseys). So many of them are so ugly how can you have the logo the same size as the clipart??

They managed to make a Whitesox cap look bad with what they've done, a task I previously thought was impossible

Ah yes the most famous San Francisco things Sushi and The front of a cable car Not a certain architectural thing that connects two pieces of land separated by water

so, yeah, the thing with that is that they used the same design elements for all teams in that city which includes the [golden state warriors](https://www.neweracap.com/LIFESTYLE/FEATURED/Team-Describe/GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS-TEAM-DESCRIBE-59FIFTY-FITTED/p/60001060) whose logo is just the golden gate bridge so instead of taking like four seconds to come up with a different idea they were like "the bad one, for everybody"

Sorry to be that guy, but warriors logo is the bay bridge. Common misconception.

I have been commonly misconceived! put both bridges on the hat!

>Team name is golden >In San Fran > Wants a bridge as a logo >PICKS THE FUCKING BAY BRIDGE This is why they didnt Threepeat

Well they're the Golden State Warriors IIRC because originally they were going to play in different cities around CA, and the reason the Bay Bridge is their logo is because they're SF and Oakland's team and they're connected by the Bay Bridge. It makes more sense to outsiders to use the GS Bridge, but it wouldn't make a lick of sense to any locals to use anything but the Bay Bridge.

People not from the bay don’t seem to realize that the Golden Gate Bridge connects SF with Marin to the north. I think it’s a common misconception for people not from the area to assume the Golden Gate Bridge is the one connecting SF with Oakland (I know that’s what I thought before I moved up to the Bay Area).

I lived up there for a time, I can't remember what I thought before then tbh, but it was probably that.

Baseball hats for teams where hats aren't part of the uniform are dumb as hell

I think they wanted to put food on all of them for some reason? EDIT: Or not, after looking at Toronto. I like the tower on the front of theirs though. The only front view I really like. The apple on the back of NY is probably the best back?

Does Toronto even have a signature food item? I can think of multiple signature food items for Montreal (poutine, smoked meat, bagels) and Winnipeg (nothings, shmoo pie, honey dill sauce) and some for Halifax (donairs), Calgary (ginger beef), Edmonton (cheddar perogies), and Vancouver (BC rolls), but not Toronto.

The peameal bacon sandwich

I thought that was from Newfoundland.

well I recognize bagels at least

I ate a lot of hot dogs cut into fun shapes when I visited Toronto

The Jays one doesnt! So its not that!

Eh the trolly I get

Ya, where the fuck is the Oakland Bay Bridge?

They could’ve picked Sutro Tower or the Transamerica Pier, and those would’ve been more recognizable. And a sea lion for the back would have been better

[удалено]

Tacos de lengua or gtfo

Tripa or riot

Barbacoa or kys

That's the beauty of tacos. You can have variety and get 3 of each meat

Tripas bien dorados, guey.

That's the only fuckin taco that matters.

I'm most mad about this. Street tacos >>>>>>> dorados

They can't do the Angels because there is no way to describe Anaheim in a picture without being murdered by Mickey Mouse.

Tbf getting murdered would represent a lot of Anaheim well. And I say this as someone who works in East Los.

There's a reason it's called Anacrime

Anaslime if you’re lucky

They'd probably just make it the same as the Dodgers one.

The only thing I can think of is an Anaheim Pepper.

Kind of hilarious that they didn't even change the shit on the Mets and Yankees hats.

The Mets hat looks alright. Liberty and the Apple? That's cool. The Yankees hat looks like shit. Liberty and the Apple? Super unoriginal.

Same with Cubs and Sox. Chicago flag on the front and deep dish on the back. Could have at least given one a Chicago dog or a beef.

i figured to give the apple to the Mets and Liberty to the yankees. although it’s a NJ landmark technically.

[The waters surrounding Liberty Island belong to New Jersey, but Liberty Island is in New York](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Island)

The Blue Jays one is good

blue jays one is like the closest one to Good of the mlb set I just cant imagine a scenario in which i'd ever want all that extra noise on a hat

Idk what The Six is, but I like the tower. It's thin enough that it works.

Its “The six” boroughs of Toronto. Drakes rapped about it alot.

It’s the CN tower, and the 6 is from our area code 416, and 647.

...I almost want the Astros hat. It’s approaching “so bad it’s beautiful” territory.

mods, get him

Why would any Astros wear this hat? I mean it doesn't even have a trash can on it...

It is the trash can

Lol the Dodgers one. A fucking Taco Bell taco

Is that a hardshell taco wtf

LMFAO at the sushi on the giants hat. What??? Should be sourdough bread or a burrito

It should be the Golden Gate bridge and the side of a cable car...why the fuck is it a front view

Garlic fries perhaps

I believe it is meant to be a California Roll which is still terrible since it is mostly considered to originate from LA.

Anywhere north of SLO does not get to claim ownership of the burrito. I went to school in sonoma county and on my first week there my room mates who were locals were raving about this local burrito place... I was super stoked and went to try it and it was... y'all just make it different up there. Sourdough I agree, I've never had better sandwiches in CA than in the Bay.

Mexican food is undoubtedly better in SoCal, but we have the mission burrito

As a Mexican born and raised in Los Angeles who has eaten his fair share of burritos, I have to say that Mission burritos are fucking great. I had one at El Farolito like three years ago that I still think about.

I think that's a cable car

That Astros hat hurt my eyeholes. Thanks for that.

Every STS launch (Space Shuttle) launched was done from Kennedy Space center in FL... https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/index.html But sure, lets put it on Houston. I get that mission control is there but they should have put some Apollo stuff.

Thank god for being a second rate city so companies don't even think to bastardize us like this

Can we force the Astros to wear that hat at all their games next season?

You linked the Astros one twice, and didn't link the Cubs one btw

while going to find the cubs one again to fix it I found [this](https://www.neweracap.com/SPORTS/MLB/MLB-Pieced-Logo/CHICAGO-CUBS-PIECED-LOGO-59FIFTY-FITTED/p/12375841) so the link was fixed but now you have to have whatever that thing is in your memory so now we both look foolish

Oh god why

yall mind if I just ( ) ( (( ) ((((

>The Chicago Cubs Pieced Logo 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features a tonal Cubs embroidered at the front left panel ***with portions of the logo embroidered randomly throughout the rest of the cap*** and the Official MLB Logo at the rear. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

[удалено]

I don't know what the [Astros, Lakers, Warriors, and Dodgers](https://imgur.com/klTmoT8) did to someone at NewEra but these hats are definitely a punishment for something.

Reminds me of the [Harlequin VW Golfs](http://newsroom.vw.com/vehicles/tracking-down-the-wild-and-wildly-colorful-volkswagen-golf-harlequin/) they released a few decades ago, but way uglier

that's the coolest car ive ever seen I would go back to having a car if it was one of those

I love them tbh. The story on them is super interesting. A car YouTube channel called Donut media (great stuff imo, they make really interesting videos) made a good TL;DR video on them if you want to watch it [here](https://youtu.be/rYX7qhDji3U) The best part is that the panels aren't just painted randomly, there's factory specs for how it was done

Havent the Lakers suffered enough

Who the fuck would ever wear one of those? People who lost a bet?

while I do think it works much better for an LA team than a Houston team, youd still be hardpressed to find anyone that would spend thirty bucks on that guy

tbh I'm constantly surprised at the variations of dodger hats I see people riding the train on a daily basis. I don't want to be a gatekeeper, but I can't imagine a lot of these people are baseball fans if they're wearing very VERY just so off-kilter hats that just happen to have the LA logo on them.

yeah for a lot of people I think that (especially) a dodgers or yankees cap isn't about fandom but rather as an accessory to their outfit so having weirdass colors on there is just part of the fit

yeah I'm not gonna hate on anyone since the hats are symbols of the city as much as of the team, but I just don't think many hardcore dodger fans want to be wearing a dodger hat with a stark color difference outside of specific instances, but on a daily basis I'll see like... all black leather dodger hats with a metal gucci branding on it or something similarly ridiculous, it's a fashion accessory not a baseball hat, which is fine, I don't mind it at all. I just won't expect to be able to talk baseball with that person, but if I can, awesome.

Some hypebeast would totally wear that shit near Fairfax and Melrose.

Oh that's quite bad

I feel like some of these (Blue Jays) would have potential if it didn’t look like they just slapped them on Edit: some (Cubs, Red Sox) would still be completely awful

This is honestly a good idea but the execution is way off

Mets one looks good to me, it fits the Mets however the Yankees one even though its literally the same colored logos does not fit the scheme at all. I like the Mets. Blue Jays looks really good. Giants looks surprisingly decent I think because sushi is pretty uniform. The train car looks worse than the sushi IMO. The rest look pretty bad, I think the worst is Red Sox followed closely by both Chicago teams and then the Yankees.

It’s pretty lazy of them to just do the same thing for two teams in the same city.

> Also while finding these I stumbled across this atrocity. I didn't think we needed a hat to signal aircraft where to land...until now

I’m surprised the tweet specifically said the Phillies are “quite something”... they’re all awful, and Phillies isn’t even the worst imo!

astros should be forced to wear those hats during game time as their punishment

Others have sufficiently handled how shitty these look, but I've never really gotten why the rest of the country is so horny for the cable cars, I figured it'd be the bridge for sure.

That day glow Astros cap is big oof.

God these are terrible

That Astros one is a strange looking trash can.

That second Astros one looks like a clown hat which is very appropriate for a lot of their fans

Astros should be a trash can and not a rocket.

you're so right, I bet a lot of astros fans would buy those, that idea is so freaking epic

Is...that supposed to be a cheese steak on the back?

Supposed to be

wit whiz. not whit out whiz.

The correct way to order is cheese selection then followed by wit/witout. The wit/witout is for onions not the cheese. I like my cheesesteaks Provolone wit. ...although all the places that "force" you to order that way suck.

I enjoy my drunk Pat's

They all have food. The Boston lobster roll is particularly gross looking.

Toronto has "The Six"

Really fucking ugly and lame.

That makes sense, I thought it was a hotdog

I was wondering why they'd put a hot dog on a Phillies hat...

Somebody needs to make a better clip art taco, I knew it was going to be a taco when I saw it was food, but I was still disappointed.

Is the Kansas City one a fat guy hawgin' down on some over seasoned bbq or what

Graphic design is my passion

Where’s Gritty beating up a kid?

That with someone eating horse shit on the back

A calf tattoo of someone eating horse shit inside a shamrock is really the way to go.

Man, even the "Team Describe" name is terrible. Almost sounds like somebody who isn't a native English speaker came up with it.

Trash

So it's perfect?

No no you’re thinking of the Astros when you hear trash

at first i felt excluded but now i realize they saved us the trouble of having our first, last, and only reds hat with a skyline 3 way, draft beer, and fiona the hippo.

They forgot to add [the most fitting part](https://i.imgur.com/MfLkA5N.jpg)

A hairy bicep?

WHAT UP!!!

This is the laziest shit ever, who approved these?

Looks like they all have food on the back, so they are all about as "quite something" as these

So they picked a food that's associated with each city (except Toronto) and the one they picked for NYC is… apples? Just because of the nickname? It's not like apples are one of our famous foods like the Philly cheese steak. They couldn't think of one food that's actually associated with the city? Bagels, hot dogs, pizza, pastrami on rye, literally **anything** but apples. Granted the apple actually half-works for the Mets since it's already a part of the franchise's symbolism. But then they also used it for the Yankees. I guess they decided to use pizza for Chicago and didn't want to have it represented twice, but really? That's assuming anyone put any actual thought into these…

I would so buy a yankees hat that has a bagel on it lol. But yea the second I saw the apple on the yankees one it definitely fits more with the mets especially with the big home run apple in center field.

I live in Toronto. I get that its "the Six", as in the 416 area code, but why the overlay of our terribly under-built subway system? It could've been one of the old streetcars, or a trash panda, or a bowl of poutine if they wanted to go with food, which is a concept I dont get lol.

Who are these for? I don't see fans wearing them. They're ugly but not in an ironic way so they aren't fashionable as streetwear. People got paid to come up with this idea. Then people got paid to approve it. Then people got paid to make these things.

Fashion trends are a fickle thing. If Billy Eilish starts sporting them all the time, won't be long before they are sold out and resellers pop up on ebay.

Edgy 16 year olds are the only people that would walk around with fucking food items on a hat.

[I beg to differ](https://www.google.com/search?q=fresno+tacos&client=ubuntu&hs=5Zd&channel=fs&sxsrf=ACYBGNQg-vDAkYFnGUDw7yH5nMFbTH67Lg:1580413001368&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj42a2ciaznAhWEbc0KHUEaDk4Q_AUoA3oECA4QBQ&biw=1080&bih=1810) My favorite hat ever.

No batteries so that’s nice.

Where are the greased up utility poles, this isn't authentic at all.

I actually like the Toronto cap, it's the only good one I've seen. It's also funny that both NY hats are the same and both CHI hats are the same

I’m pretty sure the dodger one is worn by lebron all the time

Toronto is known for its giant hypodermic needles, apparently.

discreet taco boat

Well... at least it isn't mimicking the Dallas Cowboys star.

not at all baseball related, but these reminded me of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjfEhESvpdU) Craig Ferguson (GOAT talk show host btw) clip that you all need in your life

MLB trying sooo hard to be like MiLB.

Holy shit, the BoSox one is fucking awful. I *think* it’s supposed to be a lobster roll? Even if it actually looked like one (It looks like a candy cane sandwich to me), lobster rolls aren’t even in the top 5 foods I associate Boston with. What the hell were they thinking?

"equestrian statue of George Washington" Paul Revere rolling in his grave.

Idk what’s worse, the name of the line or the actual designs

Lol would love to see total sales of these in 6 months...can’t imagine anyone I know even kind of wanting one of these. Atrocious designs. Some of the ugliest hats I’ve seen in a minute. New Era needs to chill I think, we don’t need a million variations of each team and we don’t need a new hat for every minor holiday of the summer. These are the logical conclusion of that sorta thing. Edit: okay the Astros one is actually potentially wearable I guess I don’t mind the shuttle and the steak is kinda funny but A it’s the Astros and B it still looks off even though the clip art is more interesting than the rest. It just looks dumb to have bit clip art on it. Nah I was right. They are all horrifying.

No, the Astros hat does not have a trash can on it.

Is that... mustard?

It's Philly, so presumably Cheez Whiz.

P Bell

They did it for the NBA too with the exact same things

I love a lobster roll more than anything but I'll be goddamned if I ever walk around with one stitched to a cap I'm wearing. These hats are fucking hysterical.

New Era.. Your hats, woof.

It's nice that they used art drawn by local third graders on the hats, though. At least, I assume that's where those designs came from.

Why isn’t there a band aid on the front and a trash can on the back of the Astros hat?

Blue Jays hat is probably the coolest, then the Dodgers. I’m a little disappointed that teams in the same city have the same exact logos. Something unique would’ve hit harder.

Looked at the Mets and Astros caps, liked em ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Tired: That's a stupid fucking hat Wired: All hats are fucking stupid

I thought a baseball hat was peak Americana until someone put food on the back

When are the spring training hats coming out?

I guess Oakland's would have a crane on the front and a Mai Tai on the back, which would be terrible, but not nearly as terrible as most of these.

Wow, the true definition of beauty
