History

Ehrhardt Koch founded the company in 1920 in Buffalo, New York, initially producing Gatsby-style fashion caps. In the 1930s, the firm pivoted to baseball caps as demand for the sport grew. New Era became the exclusive on-field headwear provider for Major League Baseball in 1993. Its cultural significance expanded through hip-hop and skate communities, establishing the 59FIFTY model as a staple of contemporary fashion history and a symbol of team affiliation.
