Low Crown 59Fifty question - Sports Logo General Discussion - Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Community - CCSLC - SportsLogos.Net Forums
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.

Anyone notice a size difference between the Regular and Low Profile 59Fifty?
I'm forced to order all caps online. I have a wool Cubs 59Fifty 7 1/4, local sports store had a handul of low profiles on-hand and was able to give 'em a shot. 7 1/8 seemed to fit, as did the 7 1/4. NOW I'm thinking of a Low Profile in 7 1/8. I was able to do the knee-pull trick to get the 7 1/4 to fit better, anyone know if this is possible with the new poly hats. Sorry for all the questions.

New era 59fifty low profile sizing
I feel like that’s gonna be a 7 3/4. Low Profile hats, in my experience, run a bit small. I’d make sure you either try the hat on before buying or make sure you can return it if it doesn’t fit how you want. More on reddit.com

59fifty low profile sizing questions
Similar experiences here. Unfortunately, a slight manufacturing variation in the head band sizing can mean much discomfort, especially if the pressure points are on your temples. I always buy one size, sometimes it fits loose (the way I prefer) and some fit tight, the circumference might be within 1/10 of a centimeter of each other, but the on-head difference is more than palpable. There are several commonly used tricks to enlarge a hat, use a hat jack, pulling on your knee cap, stuff a soccer ball in it, etc. Use these methods carefully of course. I do wish New Era makes a combination of 5950 fitted sizes but with elastic head bands similar to their 3930 hats, keeping that fitted look while accommodating for slight head size changes and manufacturing deviations.

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.

May 16, 2024 - 9Twenty caps are an unstructured, low profile adjustable hat. This hat comes only in one size, “One Size Fits Most”, and can be adjusted with the adjustable strap. The 9Forty shares the curved visor of the 39THIRTY and the adjustable back of the 9FIFTY. The 9FORTY offers an adjustable strap at the back of the hat with a buckle or a plastic snapback, like the 9Fifty. We have also added a useful YouTube video below from New Era, to help you find the perfect cap.

What model of caps do MLB players actually wear? Is it 59fifty? - Quora
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...
