There are two ways to acquire an MLB The Show 24 hat:
1. Collector’s Edition Bonus:
The official MLB The Show 24 Collector’s Edition includes a physical New Era MLB The Show 9FIFTY hat as a bonus item, alongside the game (download code for PS5 and PS4 versions), a Steelbook case, and in-game content. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkUGdj8MOUM)
2. Third-Party Retailers (Limited Availability):
There have been reports of some retailers selling the included hat from the Collector’s Edition separately. However, this is not an officially sanctioned practice and might be difficult to find. Here’s what to consider:
Limited Stock: These hats, if available, would likely be in limited quantities and might sell out quickly.
Price: There’s no guarantee the price would be reasonable, especially considering it’s a bonus item from a special edition.
Legitimacy: Be cautious of unofficial merchandise or resellers with inflated prices.
Alternative Options:
New Era Website: You can browse the official New Era website (https://www.neweracap.com/) to see their collection of MLB team hats or generic MLB The Show hats (if available).
Retail Stores: Major sporting goods retailers or stores that sell hats might have MLB team hats or generic baseball hats you can customize.
Here’s a quick recap:
Guaranteed Hat: Purchase the Collector’s Edition (if still available).
Alternatives: Explore New Era’s website, retail stores, or hat customization options.
Ultimately, the best way to get an MLB The Show 24 hat depends on your budget and preference. If you prioritize the hat and don’t mind the additional cost of in-game content, the Collector’s Edition might be the way to go. Otherwise, consider exploring alternative options.
