Guys, just read your oven tip for breaking in the 5950 hats. I'll give it a shot. I have a big head to begin with so these hats look particularly silly on me if they aren't broken in. But here's the million dollar question (literally). Why haven't they released a 5950 hat that is broken in already, or sloped in the front. I think they are missing a huge opportunity here. Millions would buy it (I think). It can still be fitted, and look like the real deal, but broken in with the plastic support already broken it. Am I wrong? They have dozens of hat designs, I'm shoked New Era hasn't thought of this.
Great question, Richard. New Era used to make something quite similar to what you are talking called "low crown" hats. You can find references to them when you Google the term, "low crown 5950" but I haven't seen one available in stores for years.
Perhaps we should start an angry petition?!
Edit: Believe it or not, we get a lot of e-mails about this post. We've heard good feedback from people heading in this direction for MLB low crown 5950 hats. Also, New Era claims to be releasing new low crown 5950s soon. Any further tips would be appreciated! Finally, please visit our sponsors to keep this site alive!
