Sales are down a bit.

Adjusting Caps to Fit the Times

Quote :
"DERBY, N.Y. — The hundreds of embroiderers and stitchers hunched over clattering sewing machines at the New Era Cap factory could be forgiven for thinking these are good times. After all, they churn out 72,000 baseball hats a week, about seven a minute."

I like caps with just letters better anyway (i'm sure mets and cardinals are also low in stitch count)

I'm guessing the Brewers cap in question is this one as opposed to just the M:

I post gay porn occasionally just because it's funny, but I understand that it's your lifestyle--you live it. I can respect that.

i think we all understand the internal logic of the logo itself

i think the objection is that the symbols don't translate 100% to irl

I wish New Era would make their college line of 59-Fifty hats with the same material as the authentic MLB on-field hats. I hate the way my State hat fits and feels compared to my other MLB hats.
