The Ballcap Blog

Fellow readers, New Era would like everyone to know that they have ceased all cap repairs. I spoke to Dan Harrigan (the assistant customer service manager) and he told me that it takes too much time away from production, and they haven't set up a way to charge money for it. All caps that have been shipped in for repairs will be returned un-repaired. Who is to blame? Well, that would probably be yours truly.

I figure it has to be a college or minor league team, since the cap is a fitted pro model. Thanks, Paul
