          JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- No need to keep this under your hat, Jaguars fans: The incorrect skyline on the team’s official draft cap has been fixed.

          New Era Caps, which makes the official on-field hat for the NFL, released a statement on Wednesday afternoon apologizing for putting the wrong drawing on the underside of the brim and said the player the Jaguars select in the first round of next month’s draft will be given one that has a correct depiction of the city’s skyline.

          "We regret the mistake in the depiction of the Jacksonville skyline on their NFL draft cap," the statement read. "We have fixed the issue for both the NFL draft and for mass production of the cap."

          When photos of the hat -- which is black with the Jaguars logo in front and a teal brim and included the word Jacksonville and a drawing of the city’s skyline on the underside of the brim -- were released, some Jaguars fans noticed that the skyline wasn’t correct. So they took to Twitter to let New Era Caps know they were unhappy with the apparent mistake.

          The company responded:

          In fact, the company responded a lot. As of 1 p.m. ET the company had tweeted that response 68 times. Shortly after, New Era released the statement about the correction to the hat.
