But not in a good way. [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294409,00.html](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294409,00.html) > Outraged local activists charge that New Era, the caps’ manufacturer, and the New York Yankees — whose famous interlocking NY cap features a choice of a red and black bandanna design for the Bloods, blue and gray for the Crips and a gold crown for the Latin Kings — and Major League Baseball are deliberately marketing to gang members and wannabes. Looks like the new summer gang line is selling well though. ---

After I had my cap fitted there I call Bovice at New Era to make a follow up appt for my cap because it was fitting loose and that I would have to come down so he can get it right. Back story here: I went down to New Era to get sized for a fitted cap last winter. But since then I have noticed the cap was loose. I called Bovice at New Era and he suggested that I come down and get sized… AGAIN WTF!!!11. They couldn’t do it right the first time?, a \*\*\*\*\*\* could get cut for playing that shit. Anyways I took a bus all the way down there to get sized. Bovice starts to talk and he sounds nervous, at first I thought he used the tape too hard on my head! He tells me that there is something wrong with my pants and they have a stain on them. My head was fine though. The initial measurements in the winter was 7 1/2, but this time it was 7 1/4. They tried to blame it ON ME!!! for getting a hair cut in March and my subsequent haircuts in May and July. So that bitch COURTNEY (the one with the fine ass tits) rang me a brand new cap for $24.99 plus 8.25% APPLICABLE SALES TAX. I was “fuck that, CUNT, there aint going to be no money invovled” and threw my old cap in her face. They say some shit about sweat stains (whatever some bleach would have fixed that). And then they said I was buying a different style anyways or some BULL. I said I want to speak with the manager. Bovice said “I AM THE MANAGER, all I can offer you is a coupon to Erie County Fair.” I was mad at first but said o.k. ANYWAYS, After I left the store I was walking to the bus stop and shit my pants, runny ass diarrhea, the Hershey squirts. So I took of my pants and drawers (my tee hangs down to my knees so no one saw my johnson) and threw them in Bovice’s face and was “look \*\*\*\*\*\* you are buying my new pants, and such” I didn’t have bowel problems before going to New Era. All I am asking for is that they pay, not even full price, just chip in for a new pair of pants. I had new boxers just installed a week before. NEW ERA blew out my COLON !!! **unforgivable** and irresponcible ---
