Quote:

The Buffalo-based manufacturer will display its new products on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Magic 2011, a major trade show for the apparel and clothing industry.

Highlights will include:

• A retro baseball collection that will feature “throwback” logos and designs.

• Zubaz-patterned caps that will “celebrate the phenomenon of the ‘must-have’ fan staple of the 90s,” according to a New Era statement. Zubaz caps will be made for Major League Baseball Major League Baseball Latest from The Business Journals Houston, Vegas score high as NHL destinationsCan Albuquerque support a Major League Baseball team?Liberty Media settles for stake in Barnes & Noble, names CEO Maffei to board Follow this company , National Basketball Association National Basketball Association Latest from The Business Journals Houston, Vegas score high as NHL destinationsSeattle could support an NHL team: StudyNo Suns preseason game in Palm Springs Follow this company and National Hockey League National Hockey League Latest from The Business Journals Honolulu beats Hamilton for hockey?MN Wild adds NFL executive to management teamJackets, Clippers, Crew getting needed assist as fan interest sags Follow this company teams.

I am intrigued by the retro line, is it a rebranding of their Cooperstown Collection or further formalization of their on field turn back the clock line? Thanks for posting the link.

Hopefully it will be an expansion of the Cooperstown Collection featuring authentic throwbacks.

I'm intrigued by the following line: “celebrate the phenomenon of the ‘must-have’ fan staple of the 90s,”.....Maybe that implies a move toward authentic on field throwbacks!!!!

I think that's in reference to the Zubaz line.

New Era should lay off of the "customs" and sit long and hard and really work on some good historical throwbacks. I'd love for them to ditch the 59fifty to do some throwbacks in old designs too, who else wants some leather sweatbands? _________________ Visit my blog @ http://neweramlb.blogspot.com/

Agree 100%. Attention to detail is the key to great throwbacks. Go Dbacks!

new era is also expanding on their "19twenty" hats which fits like baseball caps from the 1920's

The caps feature a loose fitting, unstructured crown top and shorter brim than today’s 5950 fitted

they look like: http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/02/04/new-era-19twenty-cooperstown-collection/

it will come in normal fitted hat sizes and the style is pinstriped
