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.
I bought a supposedly low profile 59fifty, but the bill was totally flat when it came. Is there any way to tell by the tags inside that it's low profile? I'm not seeing anything. The only indication is the sticker.
New era is discontuing the low profiles as well. Get em while they last folks.

It's pretty easy to tell by looking. The on field full size is more of a half dome and the bill is practically at a right angle, and the low profile is more angled compared to the dome.
Though is there's supposed to be a pic, you didn't upload one
