New Era revealed a new line of hats this week… and now they’re gone:

The “Local Market” line featured these gaudy hats that looked like Nascar jump suits. There was so much stuff squeezed onto the surface that they just seemed tacky.

On the Phillies cap, they put in a cheesesteak, a Liberty Bell, four local area codes, a 1776 badge, a picture of the state of Pennsylvania, and a 2008 World Series logo. It was very “busy,” as they say in the fashion industry:

RIP to the New Era “Local Market” line. It was a good run.
