New Era has announced the revival of NFL helmet hats, originally introduced in the 1980s by a company called Louisville. These baseball caps feature designs inspired by football helmets, with logos on each side (except for the Steelers). The hats are part of the New Era 9FIFTY collection, which are snapback caps with an adjustable closure, rather than fitted caps.
The return of the helmet hats has sparked debate on whether this is a nostalgic fashion statement or an outdated concept. The collection includes retro looks from various NFL teams, such as the Houston Oilers, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seattle Seahawks, and Pittsburgh Steelers, among others. Some favorites include the classic Steelers logo, the creamsicle Tampa Bay Buccaneers design, and the historic Atlanta Falcons hat.
However, there are also some designs that are less popular, including the New York Giants historic hat, the Washington Commanders hat, the Tennessee Titans hat, the Arizona Cardinals hat, and the Cincinnati Bengals historic hat. Despite varying opinions on the helmet hats, these caps are sure to appeal to football fans and collectors alike.
The collection is available for purchase online, with each hat featuring a unique tag/helmet ensemble on the back. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of a specific team or just appreciate the retro aesthetic, the NFL helmet hats offer a fun and stylish way to show off your team spirit.
