New Era Sideline Beanie NE902

Custom New Era NE902 Sideline Beanie — Flat and 3D Puff Embroidery

The New Era NE902 Sideline Beanie is a heather-striped knit cap with a dual-colored pom and a fleece lining, built from a 100% acrylic shell and 100% polyester fleece. It is the beanie style seen on pro football sidelines, which is why sports retailers, alumni groups and outdoor employers buy it for cold-weather merch and crew gear. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery has decorated headwear in house at our Houston, Texas facility since 1979.

We finish the NE902 with flat embroidery for tight logotype, 3D puff embroidery where a mark needs to stand off the knit, leather, woven or rubber patches for a badge-style front, or direct-to-film (DTF) printing for photographic art. New Era stock carries a resale rule that requires embellishment, so decoration is not optional here. All of it happens at our Houston facility.

Why Buyers Pick It

Buyers pick the NE902 when the beanie itself has to carry brand weight before your logo lands on it. The New Era flag and the sideline silhouette are recognized on sight, so retail shops and alumni stores can price it as merchandise rather than a handout. The fleece lining also makes it the right call for outdoor crews working through a real winter, not just a chilly evening game. Six colorways keep the assortment tight and easy to sell through.

How to Order

Email us your logo, and we send back a free digital mockup with thread colors and placement mapped out. Nothing runs until you sign off. Headwear carries a 12-piece minimum and volume tiers open at 24 pieces. From proof approval, production takes 7-10 business days, rush is available on request, and most orders leave our dock with free ground shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom New Era NE902 Sideline Beanies?
Custom New Era NE902 Sideline Beanies are fleece-lined, heather-striped knit beanies with a dual-colored pom, decorated with a customer's logo. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, a decorator founded in 1979, embroiders them in house at our Houston, Texas facility. Artwork never leaves our building and no part of the decoration is brokered out.

What is the minimum order for custom NE902 beanies?
Twelve pieces is the minimum on this and every headwear style. Volume pricing tiers start at 24 pieces. Colors and styles can be mixed to reach a tier as long as every piece carries the same decoration.

Can New Era NE902 beanies be sold blank?
No. New Era products may not be resold without embellishment, which is stated in the manufacturer's own product terms. Every NE902 that leaves Wholesale Caps and Embroidery carries customer decoration, so retail and alumni buyers stay compliant by default.

Is the NE902 warm enough for outdoor work crews?
The NE902 pairs a 100% acrylic knit shell with a 100% polyester fleece lining, which is why it is bought for outdoor crews and cold-weather sideline use rather than as a light fashion knit. It is stocked in 6 colorways in a single size.

Are embroidery files saved for future NE902 reorders?
Yes. Digitized files stay on record at Wholesale Caps and Embroidery after your first run, so reorders skip setup and go straight into the production queue at the same stitch quality as the original order.

Can the same logo go on caps and beanies in one order?
Yes. Mixing styles is allowed as long as the decoration stays the same, and the combined count still applies to your quantity tier. A common pairing is NE902 beanies for winter with a trucker or flexfit cap for the rest of the year.

How fast can custom NE902 beanies ship?
Standard production is 7-10 business days after mockup approval, and rush production is available on request. Most orders ship free ground from Houston, Texas.

1. After your order is placed, we enter it into our system and send an "Artwork & Mockup Approval" email within 24-36 hours. This is to verify design, design placement, size, and product colors.
2. Once you approve the artwork mockup, we create the .dst file (stitch file). This file is used to tell our embroidery machines what to stitch. Note: Cancellation after this step incurs a $30 restocking fee.
3. We create a sewout and/or update the mockup using the .dst file and send it to you for approval. It's at this point where you want to make sure all colors, size, and placement are as requested.
4. You may request changes to the same design before sewout and/or .dst approval. A completely new design request at this stage incurs a $30 fee.
5. After final approval, production begins. Once items are decorated, the order is non-refundable unless there is a defect in the product or decoration.

A $30 setup fee is automatically added to the cart and required for all orders. This covers the order processing costs.
