The NFL Draft is set to start on April 30th which doesn’t leave New Era much time to fix a pretty big mistake on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ draft hat.
The inside of the Jaguars’ brim features a skyline and the text JACKSONVILLE plastered below it.

The problem? That’s not Jacksonville’s skyline.
No, the skyline that is proudly stamped on the bottom of the Jaguars’ draft cap brim is actually that of Miami, which is definitely not the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
For reference, this is the Miami skyline:
And this is the Jacksonville skyline:
As one can see, the cap’s skyline has some recognizable elements of Miami’s architecture and pretty much none of Jacksonville’s.
New Era has admitted that they really messed up and that they are working to fix this rather regrettable (and hilarious) error.
At least they can use the skyline mock up for the Dolphins?
@1JagHomer We regret the mistake in the depiction of the Jacksonville skyline on their NFL Draft cap. We are actively working to fix it.
