Buffalo, New York based New Era Cap Company announced plans Thursday to close two plants. The company will shutter a Jackson, Alabama plant by February and is currently negotiating with the Communications Workers of America to determine if they will close plant in Demopolis, Alabama or Derby, New York. The company says consumer demand for the ball caps has dropped over the last 18 months and the company projects producing five million less caps in 2009 as compared to 2008.

1. How about this solution
Stop charging 34.99 for a cap. Maybe that is the reason why no one is buying them.
