New Era is the official cap of Major League Baseball and one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sports caps. Since 1920, New Era has been one of the world’s leading headwear companies, producing a superior quality product that has transcended over 90 years of an ever-changing sports, cultural and fashion environment.

New Eras’ ability to produce and market a superior quality baseball cap has earned it the title of “The Official Cap for the Major League Baseball Field.” Did you know that all of your favorite major league baseball players wear New Era 5950 caps on the field during the game?

Caps from the New Eras On-Field Collection feature New Eras Cool Base Performance technology to give you the best performance on your head, while providing the highest quality and comfort, in the most extreme conditions.

New Eras Cool Base Performance technology has three main factors:

1) revolutionary absorption

2) top drying

3) shrink resistant

How are the New Era caps with Cool Base Performance technology different from other New Era 59Fifty caps?

The main difference is the material. Caps from the On-Field Collection featuring Cool Base Performance technology are made from 100% polyester, while most other New Era caps are made from 100% wool or a 70/30 wool/cotton blend .

Polyester is a synthetic material that is used to make different clothing items, mostly made from a blend of cotton and polyester. Here are some advantages of using polyester:

1) polyester dries quickly

2) polyester retains its shape better

3) Polyester is more resistant to mold and mildew damage

For major league baseball players and other athletes, it’s easy to understand why New Era makes its On-Field Collection hats out of polyester. New Era polyester Cool Base Performance caps are ideal for MLB players and other athletes due to the extreme conditions in which they play. Polyester helps:

* hats dry quickly in hot conditions, where the cap is likely to get drenched in sweat, or in rainy and cold conditions.

* hats do not shrink. New Era caps are mostly fitted, so when exposed to sweat or water, wool or cotton caps will shrink.

* hats retain their shape through games, practices, tossing them in lockers and stuffing them in the bottom of sports bags.

* Lids retain color better.

When making garments from polyester, such as New Era caps, it is necessary to use very fine polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarns that are woven or knitted to provide maximum flexibility.

Combining fine polyester fibers with the quality of stitching that New Era provides, you’ll find that New Era caps made with Cool Base Performance technology have a silky smooth feel.
