    New Era cap company is the new official hat company of the NFL



    The president of New Era Cap Co. says his enterprise will be working hard to be ready to supply National Football League players, coaches -- and fans -- with their official headgear the season after next.

    "2012 will be here before you know it," Pete Augustine, president of the Buffalo-based sports apparel maker, said Friday, three days after his firm won the exclusive right to make on-field head wear for the NFL. "We have a blank canvas to start with, and we're excited about offering a new and unique line of products."

    Another thing the company will be sketching out, Augustine said, is what, if any, additions will be made to the company's facilities or employee ranks.

    "We're going to be sitting down and talking about what it will take, resource-wise," he said.

      They have a large manufacturing facility in Derby, about 20 miles down the lake from Buffalo.
      Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

        I knew they used to.. Wasn't sure if it was still there.

        If they are manufacturing them locally that is a HUGE HUGE positive in my eyes. Great news to hear !


        Now just find us a USA manufacturer of Jerseys and I am all in !!!

          They actually outgrew that location Jan and moved to Downtown Buffalo a couple years back, taking over the old Federal Reserve Bank Bldg on Deleware Ave. and W. Huron. Big retail store outfront and factory behind it.

              This really is an incredible win for the owners and workers of New Era, people who love Buffalo, AND for domestic mass production of a product. Wins all around IMHO.

                  I strictly by New Era Lids, which works out because they make the best caps out there.

                    It's nice. Really not that big of a deal as far an economic impact in Buffalo, but it's good.
                    As for the hats.... don't care for the big Elmer Fudd structured dome and huge, flat brim.
                    I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble, but they outsource to China, especially since they closed the Alabama plant.

                      Make sure it's USA made.

                          Damn, I was worried they were going to all be made that way. I hope they still make non fitted hats for those of us who dont like that big flat brim and also i hope they arent all those huge hats. I actually liked the Reebok ones and will miss those.

                            I am a New Era fan from the way back. I will say that the on-field hats for MLB are decent, and not all the flat brim persuasion. They can actually be worked with a bit. I am glad that I won't have to buy the hat that is pre-broken-in now...the Reebok hats were a drag, and I am not into stretch fit either. 7 1/4 and it fits oh so nice, without the horrible stretch.

                            Good move by the NFL.

                              it won't be a win for fans if they charge $40 for a ****ing hat like they do with the official MLB ones.
