I bought a new one about 2 weeks ago and my normal size was about 2 sizes too big. I ended up getting one that was too tight hoping it would stretch out. I like that the brim can actually bend somewhat unlike the old ones which seemed to be straight no matter what you did. I also noticed that the front crown part isn't so deep like it was in the past, but that might just be because I bought one that was too small. Either way, I don't know why they can't make a decent hat. I have a hard time believing that a majority of people buying team hats are the ones wearing them a few sizes too big, with the stickers still on them, while sideways. Even if that was the case, they can buy a normal hat bigger than their normal size and not bend the brim. I think this is my last New Era hat unless they fix this. I performed the hat surgery on my last one to take the crown down and it helped a little. It wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than before.
