KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) — New Era pulled a line of “Local Market” hats which feature personalized things for each city.

New Era pulled a line of “Local Market” hats which feature personalized things for each city.
And let’s be honest, they are just terrible looking hats. Plus not to mention, the Royals, play in Missouri, but there’s no 816 area code.
The team had a little fun with it changing their Twitter bio to read:
Located in Kansas City, MO., we love Kansas area codes, saxophones, the flag of Kansas City, pigs, Missouri and the 1985 World Series. #HeartOfAmerica
Good on the Royals for having a sense of humor, but their fan base wasn’t the only one offended.
Social media is still buzzing with insults about the hats for all teams.
New Era hasn’t commented on the hats, but they have been pulled from their website.
