New Era Made ‘Local Markets’ Hats For Each MLB Team And They Are Absolutely Disgusting

New Era’s latest project was to make new hats for every MLB team. They had they decent idea to give a little flare for every teams’ area as part of the design on each cap. They’re calling it the “local markets” collection.

Unfortunately, the collection was one of the worst things I have ever seen.

At first glimpse, the hats look like a part of an elementary school art project put together by the kid who just wants to go to recess.

Check out some of the products, along with the hilarious reactions from MLB fans all over the country.

A lot of people mocking the New Era Local Markets hats, but I think they did a pretty good job on the Detroit tigers! pic.twitter.com/S3EyyGbJYw

New Era: I know what we can put on this “local” hat, a maple leaf!

Some poor employee: um. It already has on on it?

The Royals roasted New Era for leaving Kansas City's area code off their "Local Market" hat 😂 https://t.co/hE4OGBGX6H

We figured New Era would like a Patriots hat concept to match their baseball ones. What do we think? pic.twitter.com/Y8Ync8cNG2

Apparently, when you Google "Kansas City Area Code" you get results for "Kansas Area Codes".

After getting absolutely roasted on the internet for a couple of hours, New Era (rightfully) decided to pull the new collection of hats from their website.

What an absolute failure here by New Era. Hopefully we don’t see these hats hit the market ever again.
