Apparantly the new hats will be made out of polyester instead of the classic 100% wool.

This is something i really dont like, Since i was in the fourth grade i have made it a summer tradition to get a rangers authentic, alternat road hat (blue tob, black bill) but by the end of the summer it is covered in sweet lines, and it is so small that i cant fit it on my head anymore.
and the new polyesters wont do that anymore... NO sweat lines, or schringage.
if that is something you like than fine, but i really hate it, it is something that singified that the hat was mine, and that it had a part of mine, since i would wear it constantly over the summer...
last week my HS baseball team got our hats for this season, 100% wool... thank god... only one week and the hat is beginging to form to head,
looks like i will have to keep using my other MLB authentics from last year, most notably an Oklahoma Red hawks hat i bought in August
no word if they are available to buy yet
