February 21, 200719 yr Hi tech caps for 2007. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-m...p&type=lgns Next up - all cotton unis for the Lins. Regards, George Costanza
February 21, 200719 yr you think some of the players can't wear the new type because of the material? i'll stick with the old ones, thanks.
February 21, 200719 yr I'm in favor of the new technology and will be replacing my 39-Thirty New Era cap once the new 59-Fifty ones are available (and they are currently available at the Roger Dean Stadium Clubhouse Store). My caps get pretty "funky" after a while due to sweat and what-not. Plus, they tend to shrink at least one size, sometimes two after prolonged periods. These new caps are supposed to stop "shrinkage" and "funk". What's wrong with that!?!
February 21, 200719 yr They had them at the New Era store here in NY and the hat is really unchanged, visually. It isn't even that much lighter, I think it's basically an attempt ot try to justify a mark-up in hat prices while attempting to get the truly rabid to buy more. Oh, and FYI, the New Era store has a machine that will resize hats for you.
February 22, 200719 yr Author ...FYI, the New Era store has a machine that will resize hats for you. Any idea where I can get some hats re-sized in Miami / South Dade??
February 22, 200719 yr It's really not a big deal. Instead of wearing a wool cap - which traps summer heat like a bitc# - they are using a new synthetic material. Any avid outdoorsman can tell you that they don't wear wool or cotton on their outings anymore...
February 23, 200719 yr Let's just make them velcro adjustable! Why even bother to change......... i love the wool hats
March 15, 200719 yr It's gonna be strange. I used to get hats that were too big because I know they're going to shrink. I know what size I wear in a broken in hat, but one that doesn't shrink is going to feel odd to me I think. Just preference for what is known I suppose...
