The 5950 is a model of baseball hat made by the New Era Cap Company, a headwear company based in Buffalo, New York.[1] The 59Fifty is the official on-field cap of Major League Baseball (MLB)[2] and Minor League Baseball, and the official sideline cap of the National Football League and the National Basketball Association.[citation needed] It is also a fashion symbol, with the hip-hop community the first to adopt it in the 1980s and 1990s.[3][4]
