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

New Era Low Profile vs Regular: Which Hat Fits You Best? [December 2025]
May 23, 2025 - The Regular 59FIFTY has a tighter fit that sits more atop your head rather than wrapping around it. Because of its taller crown, it’s ideal if you have a square head shape or want that roomy, elevated feel.

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.

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...

r/phillies on Reddit: Need a new hat: 59fifty, low profile or 39thirty?
September 20, 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.
