Low Profile 59fifty?
Kinda depends on your head shape, in addition to the size. For me, I wear 39thirty L/XL or 59fifty 7 3/4 very comfortably. However, 59fifty low pro is too shallow for me at 3/4 or 7/8. More on reddit.com

9Seventy. This a low pro 9Fifty? What is it and have you tried it?
Could someone please let me know if the 9Seventy has a higher crown than the 9Forty or 9Fifty low profile? I’m still trying to find the perfect fit for me.  These are the one I have tried: 9Twenty - crown is too low for my big face 9Forty - better than 920 but still too small 59Fifty low profile - Same as 940 59Fifty - Crown is too high and I don’t like the flat brim. I look too ghetto. I’m hoping the 9Seventy’s crown is in between 940 and 5950 otherwise I might need to get a regular 59Fifty and adjust it. More on reddit.com

April 1, 2019 - I got my first ever 59Fifty, it’s a low crown Phillies maroon alt cap with the new light-blue batterman on the back. I got it because the swirl P is actually very close to the one I had as a kid, rather than the “perfect” ones that most of the retro caps have.

October 16, 2012 - I was browsing New Era's store and discovered that they make a low crown version of the 59FIFTY. I'm curious if any MLB guys actually wear these rather than the traditional higher crown caps. I've noticed a few guys who's caps look to have a significantly lower profile, but I'm not certain.

r/phillies on Reddit: Need a new hat: 59fifty, low profile or 39thirty?
September 19, 2022 -

I'm looking for a new hat. I've been wearing a 9twenty for 4 years now, and I'm trying to change it up.

I have a rather large and bulbous head. My concern is that a straight up 59fifty might be too boxy, making my already large head look even larger. My gf said the 39thirty looked good, but I wasn't digging the elastic band. Also, I'm probably subconciously wanting a genuine hat the guys wear on the field. (Sure, I'm a 30 year old man, but who cares that I want the hat my heroes wear? "I'm wearing the same hat the Phils players wear!" Idgaf if that makes me sound like a child, lol.)

So, is the low profile essentially the 39thirty minus the elastic band? And for style, do you think the low profile will look better on an egghead than the og 59fifty? I wish I could try on a bended and broken in 59fifty, but I don't know anyone who has one. The guy at lids did let me bend one, but it'll take some time to actually get the shape on it.

P.S. Go Phils.

New Era Hat Styles -The Ultimate New Era Style Guide | Billion Creation
October 21, 2022 - 39THIRTY was one of New Era’s first departures from the styling of the 59FIFTY. 39THIRTY flexfit caps still have structured crowns and a closed back, but with a pre-curved visor and an interior sweat band made of elastic spandex to fit multiple head sizes. We’ve found the New Era 39THIRTY hats to be comparable with Flexfit hats in quality and construction of the elastic band. Durable, these caps retain their elasticity well, feeling snug but not overly tight for the size range. This is also a low profile, low crown hat.

Answer (1 of 6): The caps worn on-field by major leaguers are made by New Era. Starting with the 2016 post-season the caps actually have a visible New Era logo. Prior to this the caps only showed the team logo and the standard MLB logo on the back. http://news.sportslogos.net/2016/09/19/confirme...
