There's a reason we didn't see crap like that, or New Era flags on the side, until right after Selig stepped down as commissioner. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

AstroCree Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Is this legit? If so, the Mets took a step back with their set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunyan Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Agreed on Mr. Met especially. I liked the orange brimmed hats with the home alternate. Won't be buying that new hat, looks super generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many goddamn hats do these guys need? They're exactly like the Jays, a top 5 set watered down with useless and ugly alts... I have no problem with the blue home jersey (I even own one) but the classic hat shouldn't be messed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If the Mets just cut down their set to their home pinstripes, away grays, and current home alternates (no reason they can't be worn on the road as well), with one single cap - goes without saying which one - they'd have one of the best sets in the majors. It's really unfortunate that teams water down their identity with superfluous alternate jerseys and caps, just to sell more merchandise. I do wish MLB would impose limits on how many jerseys a team may wear in a season (perhaps 4), and how often alts may be worn (should be no more than 25% of the time, IMO). But they're never going to stop the merchandise gravy train, especially given that teams have 162 games to showcase various jerseys and caps.

I just edited the Blue Jays new cap and gave it the white front panel. Here's the original pic: Much better with the white panel.

WSU151 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I like that Mets hat better than the old one. Never cared for the blue-orange two-toned. With that said...it's kinda Piratey in that "We added an outline!" to the normal cap. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I can't disagree with you but I'll propose a counter argument that may explain what happened there. The DBacks insist their uniforms are hip and trendsetting and will attract younger fans to their team and to the game. If there's one thing mlb wants besides classic uniforms it's to attract the youth to grow the fan base. If the DBacks sold their uniforms to mlb with the same tagline they've been using on the fans then that might have made mlb agree to it. Just a thought.

I'm wondering if MLB only allowed Arizona's new stuff to get a reaction to see if fans will be accepting of this crap going forward or not.

SilverBullet1929 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 That Mets cap is new? I feel like I've seen that from them before. Shows how many caps they have that I've suddenly lost track of what they have. Shame. So they have the regular cap, that one, the orange brim one, don't they have one with a gray NY logo? and do they still have the one with Mr met on it? Anyone wanna clarify this? I wonder if the all black one still exists like the Marlins orange, the Reds black, and the Rockies all purple caps because I know at least for a few seasons after they stopped wearing it the all black Mets cap was still available and considered an on field cap.

The orange brim one has been replaced with the new one. Mr. Met is the BP/ST hat. The black hat is no longer in the rotation. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

KittSmith_95 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If this was replacing the grey NY cap, I'd be all for it. But it's not. Instead it's replacing obe of the best hats in MLB. This sucks. I like it but it's not a hat that should be worn everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Then I don't hate that cap because the orange brim cap was unnecessary as the Mets have always matched the crown to the brim except for that stupid black cap with a blue brim around 2000. In this case at least this new cap matches the blue jersey it's being paired with as that jersey has the orange Mets script with a white outline. This also makes it a logical partner to the road version of the blue jersey which has a gray script with an orange outline as the cap for that one does. So basically this new cap actually makes perfect sense. Edit: just looked up pics to make sure my post made sense and I realize the orange brim cap did have the white outline around the orange NY so that part is nothing new. So all they did was literally turn that orange brim back to blue which again I'm OK with because no other current cap outside of their BP cap has a different color brim. Fans of the orange brim still have the BP cap to enjoy. This new change actually makes the two blue alternate caps match their corresponding jerseys better.

Its replacing the orange brim cap which was usually worn with the alt blue jerseys. They still have the classic blue hat with orange NY as the primary. I do wish they got rid of the road cap alt, that one is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
