There are so many of these for some reason, and while there probably aren’t videos for all of these, there are videos of some of them playing “Around the World” by Aqua.

I’ve seen the boxes for some of these, and it looks like they are official.

Here’s a photo from one box (taken from eBay)

Here are photos of another one’s box which state the toy is licensed:

Even though the battery covers don’t have copyright information, it looks like they’re still official toys that used an Aqua song without permission.

Getting To Know Me - Part 6

On The Tenth Day Of Fun I present... more about me! I’m still holding out hope that we’ll see this year’s kanzashi design before TTDOF are over so that I can highlight that, but for now, we’re going to learn a bit more about me ^^ Today I want to take a dive at something that most people find some joy in: sports. I think we can all agree that, no matter what, we all have a favorite sport, whether that’s something major that gets large media coverage or something a bit more minor that you wished got the NBA treatment. This could be anything, from swimming to volleyball to gymnastics. But for me, it’s baseball. And not just any baseball, but Major League Baseball (MLB).  Since it’s January I’m currently in baseball withdrawal, but damn if I’m not keeping up with the latest trades and rumors. However, that’s not entirely what I want to focus on. I want to take a look at my favorite team: The Toronto Blue Jays. Yes, it’s normal to grow up loving the home team, but when your home team is the home team for an entire country, what’s not to love? (okay sure, when I was growing up the Expos existed too, but they don’t anymore, so there’s that). They’re a young team with some excellent acquisitions (minus a few, but not everyone can be a gem) and hopefully will be playoff contenders again in 2023 (and maybe not choke this time). I think that everyone says that about their favorite team (minus the choking part), but it really holds true for the Jays, especially for their star shortstop, Bo Bichette. I am a huge Bo Bichette fan. Like, so-huge-I-own-socks fan (very comfortable and officially licensed might I add). Sure, his field playing could use some work, but nobody’s perfect. His hitting is only improving with each season and his nomination for a silver slugger was definitely well deserved this past year. It also helps that the guy is extremely easy on the eyes (look him up if you don’t believe me).  So yeah, when I go to my next game on July 1st I’ll definitely be rooting for the home team and a certain shortstop in particular. OK Blue Jays, Let’s Play Ball ^^!

Fieldwork: Making New Era Fitted Hats Unfamiliar

History of Fitted Hats:

Ehrhardt Koch was a German Immigrant who founded the company, E. Koch Cap Co. in 1920. The company had a total of 14 employees when it first began. Two years later, the company’s name was changed to New Era Cap Company. In 1932, Harold Koch joined his father in the business of selling caps. Harold noticed the demand for the caps starting to decline. New Era then began to design the baseball cap as baseball started to gain even more popularity. In 1934, the first New Era professional baseball cap was released for the uniforms of the Cleveland Indians. Even though New Era was still producing baseball caps for the majority of baseball teams, times hit hard in the 1940s. World War II made fabric limited. The fabrics used during this time were dyed in the washing machine at home.

In the later 1940s, New Era released their adjustable hat as well. In the 1950s, the company was supplying caps to big league teams. The hat was redesigned in 1954 and was named "59Fifty". In the 60s, Harold opened a manufacturing facility in Derby, New York which was closer to the family's home. In 1972, Harold's son David became the company's president. A few years after that, David's son began working in the Derby manufacturing plant. In the 1980s the company began to sell the caps to the general public and produced them for college sports and International Baseball leagues. After the 1993 MLB season, New Era beat out their final competitor and was granted exclusive licensing. Every baseball team in the MLB was then supplied with New Era caps for their uniforms.

During the 1990s, New Era was not only a hit on the field, but it also was a hit in the fashion streets. Wearing the cap became a fashion statement. In the 2000s, New Era expanded by opening up offices in Europe, Japan, and Australia within two years. New Era then decided to take things a step further and expand their brand to produce caps of the three largest leagues in the nation. New Era produced the official hats of the NFL in 2012 and the official hats of the NBA in 2016. To this day, New Era is still one of the largest fitted hat-producing companies. Even expanding its services to create custom hats. The hats are still a high fashion staple and continue to remain relevant to this day.

Manufacturing of the New Era Fitted Hat

New Era originally manufactured its caps in Derby, New York. In 2019, after New Era shut down its manufacturing facility in Derby, New York, the company switched to a third-party manufacturer overseas. The caps worn by Major League players are made at New Era’s plant located in Miami. Most of the New Era caps are manufactured in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Haiti, and China. Until the 1990s, the cap was made out of 100% wool. Since then, the cap is made out of polyester that includes UV sun protection, a comfortable fit, and sweat-wicking. The change in material and performance did not change the iconic look of the hat though. The inside of the hat contains a white stiff haircloth. The haircloth is made out of horsehair which helps the cap maintain its shape. When the hats were manufactured in Derby, it was made through a 22-step process. The process starts off with cutting, assembling, and sewing the fabric panels together that forms the cap. Then is a raised embroidery process with precise stitch counts. It finishes off with the addition of the button that goes on top of the hat. The button is applied by a hand-operated machine. After this process is the steaming and cooling process that gives the cap its shape. Before packaging is sold to customers, a black and gold sticker is added with the sizes on them in order to guide customers to try on their respective-sized hats. The hats do not come with a black and gold sticker when they are for MLB players as they come in boxes with a specific size.

Impact New Era Fitted Hats have on me

Growing up, I always had to have some form of hair accessory on. As I got older, I began to outgrow the certain hair accessories that I was consistently put in as a child. So, I began to gravitate towards what my true style was. I was always a tomboy growing up. When I hung out with friends, I’d sneakily switch the pink bows and headbands that I was in for the baseball caps that my brother had. During my first year of high school, I felt like I needed a hat for everything. It made my mother upset which is why I tried to hide it so much. But as time went on, I began to embrace who I really was and began to find my own style. I gained this desire to have fitted hats. I loved how they looked on me or how they went with a particular outfit of mine. Wearing a hat made me lessen my physical insecurities and forced me to be more comfortable with myself.

Who manufactures New Era Fitted Hats?

When New Era announced that it would be shutting down its Derby plant, it would be eliminating the 219 jobs that it carries and moving them to a non-union contracted facility located in Miami. New Era then announced an agreement after the company was called out for the closure of the facility. New Era had reached a "plant closing agreement" with the CWA. This agreement included severance benefits for the former Derby employees. Former employees of the Miami location have said that the work environment could be toxic at times but it did have great benefits. It has also been said that the management is bad in the Miami manufacturing facility. Some cons of working there have been stated as "occasional layoffs" and lack of leadership.
