Here's what I don't get.

New Era and companies like them began pioneering caps and similar merch that sported club affiliation but in an understated and everydaywear-style way.

So if you were a Yankees fan you could get a sand-coloured cap with an embossed NY logo and not have to choose between going hatless or wearing a navy and white pinstriped number that screamed HERP HERP DE DERP. Port sensed this with its 16 different variants of the Power logo, pumping fist and teal that they couldn't give away and went all black with an excellent PA monogram that promptly sold like Katy Perry's worn undergarments on Russell Brand's eBay account.

So the AFL commission New Era to do caps for all 18 teams and... they're exactly the same in design as every other piece of shit most people don't bother buying.

Brilliant.

 

[Gillian Batty]

I'm very happy with my not shit one.

 

[Stewies Power]

More designs to come out soon as well.

 

[Stromageddon]

That's disgusting. If their target audience is youth, they're going to fail.

 

[finbarr]

Yeah, nah. Will not be buying. PA monogram one is, and will always be, my headwear of choice. I'm sure some of the kids will go for this, but I think it's lame. Just my opinion.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Doesn't look as bad as I thought it might but yeah, not buying. Not when I have the monogram hat. Probably not even if I didn't

Our club should just change the logo to the monogram anyway.

If it's all black, it would look great. I don't mind the logo over black, creates a good contrast. Hence why it's my pic on here.

I was wearing my PA monochrome monogram cap at the Exeter a couple of weeks ago and got quite a few queries as to what team it was. There were wide eyes galore when I told them.
One drunk nurse thought it was an NFL cap. "Pittsburg ...? ... Angels?"

BTW, I couldn't stomach the flat peak look so I've had it standing in an old coffee mug on my desk to keep the peak nice'n curved. Looks grand.

 

[DonDraper]

Are they still going to make the originals?

 

[King_Tredrea]

Cant go past the ol' PA New Era snapback with teal brim. amirite guyz?

 

[tryonthis]

Are they still selling the 'PA' New Era snapbacks at the club? Haven't had the time to go in the past month or so

 

[finbarr]

Yep, they're still available.

 

[MagPower83]

Are they still going to make the originals?

When I asked 2 weeks ago, I was told that the fitted all black PA design is going to be re-ordered as well as the PA snap back...

IMO they will be able to use the Magpies as a reason for the black/white merchandise if AFL house send a plz explain...

 

[DonDraper]

I'm checking for my size to come in.

Curse my big noggin'

 

[Stewies Power]

Not sure why they went with a dark-greyish type of colour instead of full black with this one.

 

[Portmanteau]

Best way to curve the brim of one of these biatches? I'm petrified of effing it up irrecoverably

If it was mainly black, that is just the right amount of teal too, they just have to get a predominantly black version if they want to sell any...

Exactly. Black like the PA version, but with the clubs logo on it.

Gently, little by little, from the centre out in both directions using fingertips and thumbs whilst wearing it. Repeat as many times as necessary. I have a pristine curve on mine.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It's pretty easy to bend the peak. Just do it slowly and carefully.

 

[King_Tredrea]

i bent mine harshly and without care. it shows.

 

[Jonts]

I dont mind them.

 

[tribey]

I bought 50 and made a whole 'nother hat purely out of the resultant brim stickers. Saw 'Norts' as I was leaving and i was so gangsta he mistook me for Byron. Tapatalking from Ceduna to maintain awesometicity.

 

[DonDraper]

Anyone know when they plan to bring in more 7 5/8 in the NE hats?

There's another shipment in its way but they don't know yet when it's arriving. You got one on hold?
