New Era's Collaborative Origins and Cultral Significance with Jonathan Mannion

Before it was a staple in both hip-hop and streetwear culture, New Era was the official headwear provider for all of Major League Baseball.
In the video above, New Era and world renowned music photographer Jonathan Mannion talk about the history of both New Era and the MLB, as well as their ability to weave through so many cultures. We also discover the first time New Era changed the color of one of its caps came after a request from Spike Lee, when he asked for a Yankees hat to match a pair of Jordans.

They forgot to mention the importancs Fred Durst and his red Yankees hat.

[@TheFrogChannel]

Without the red Yankees hat, New Era would still only be making on-field caps and nothing else. Even if you don’t like the Yankees, the red cap should be in every collector’s hands simply because of its historical and cultural significance.

I love new era fitteds Specially the NY fitted I two sizes of caps that fit me The 7 1/4 I always curve the brims on them they have a tight fitted look. The 7 3/8 gives me the Jay Z, corner hustler look. No racism intended.
