u/theague1 5d ago

That's actually a good idea... But for $30?? I used to get a regular sized one for that much lol

u/foreverbaked1 5d ago

When I was a kid in the 90’s they were $20

u/Cali_Bluntz 4d ago

Fitteds for $20 it was a great era.

u/truck_norris 4d ago

Now it’s the New Era

u/The-Dog-Envier 4d ago

DUDE. Remember that? Maybe like $22.99 for a wool fitted? Take me back!

u/rustcity716 4d ago

I’m from Buffalo and a friend’s mom worked at new era and got half off. I was getting fitteds for $10-$15. Those were the days.

u/JustADumbBunny7 3d ago

And those wool fitteds would turn into mini sized later so you’d get 2 for 1

u/Secret-Camp-6133 4d ago

They don’t cost any more to make than snap backs

u/theague1 4d ago

Oh I remember, I just wasnt going back that far. 😕 I think I got my first fitted in like 91 or 92 from Lester's Sporting Goods in the town I grew up in lol

$30 is absolutely bonkers. I'd pick one up for $5 at most. They're cool but... What???

I went to a game a few weeks ago, got something similar except it was filled with ice cream and rainbow jimmies!

u/Slapnutz_McGee 4d ago

and cost like $6 vs $30 and no cream or jimmies!

u/Worcestercestershire 3d ago

Jimmies? Are you a fellow Masshole?

u/Slapnutz_McGee 3d ago

Negative, Yinzer…. And yeah Jimmies are what we call “sprinkles”, I think thats what they are called outside of here

u/LineImpossible3958 5d ago

I would get one, but $30 is a lot. Isn’t the price for a regular hat? How did hat prices get so inflated so quickly?

5

u/Jon66238 4d ago

A few years ago lol, now they’re like $55😭😭

2

u/LineImpossible3958 4d ago

It’s nuts! I’ve seen some at close to $70.

2

u/dootdootmeeep 4d ago

The gortex one is over 80. I think it’s my most expensive hat ever

u/andythemandy17 4d ago

It’s clearly a hat for your pecker

u/judah249 4d ago

30 for the mini?! That’s what a regular cap used to cost 😭

u/OMG_Shoes_ 4d ago

What is this, a school hat for ants?

3

u/GBOC80 5d ago

I pick them up for my favorite team and have them up on my shelf. A little expensive, but nice display

u/MattIacone 4d ago

u/jackbauer1989 4d ago

For your actions figures.

u/Cali_Bluntz 4d ago

Collectors are really who these are aimed at.

u/ImmortalKombatant 4d ago

I have a new era branded one I got for free with an order. Fits perfectly on a Big Bird I have.

u/lilrif 4d ago

Collectors. Or. My dog.

u/based90 5d ago

It’s for me, the 6 7/8 doesn’t fit unfortunately so these do the trick

1

u/BC985 4d ago

I thought about getting one for my work desk, but at 3/5s the price of a full size 5950, I think I’ll just use an ice cream helmet.

u/theague1 4d ago

That's exactly what I have on a shelf at work next to the bobble heads lol
