OnWis97 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Because this is not really "new thread" worthy... I LOVE the Angels look. But a change I'd like to see is to use a little bit less of the halo A. You can see it four times in this photo. I wish they would at the very least remove the right sleeve patch and preferably remove both patches.

Gothamite Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah, I'd prefer they drop both patches as well, but if they need to keep one it should be the roundel, which is less egregious than just repeating the cap logo again.

gEO 3b 4 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I apologize i this has been mentioned, but I believe I heard/read (maybe even here) that they're gonna ditch the silver halo and go with the gld like they did in 2011 with the 50th anniversary patch. Has this been confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Only ever heard that in fan speculation. And if they were making a change we'd have heard about it by now. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Looks like the Mets will utilize the Wright presser to show off the new alt cap as well.https://mobile.twitter.com/Mets/status/276367248476758016/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 I hope it's not true. That cap is bad in general and totally unncessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Indeed.Just in case anyone thought that ditching the black indicated a general improvement in the team's management, still the same old Mets.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I like the new hat... And the whole new alternate in general. Thumbs up to the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well this creates a mess. Sure, the white outlined logo matches the alt script, but it just makes for a bad cap logo considering it's a forced revision of a very classy and simple cap that never needed to be fixed (see "black era," ca. 1998-2011). The orange bill makes it even worse.My question is, will they wear these with the road alts as well? Will they create an alt cap with the logo in silver, outlined in orange? I hope to god the answer to both of those questions is no. The answer is simple: your primary cap is a solid, classic look, so stick with it for all uni combos. /rant From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

FooMasterX5 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I love the cap, I own a snap back just like it and I am buying this hat ASAP! Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk2512 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 i love that cap as well, i always had a feeling if they went with a blue jersey, that was the cap they were going with. i dont mind the white outline, and i like the orange bill, it balances the level of blue out so there isnt too much. besides, these will look great in citifield on sunny afternoon, lets just hope the team plays great wearing them Mets, Jets, Islanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yeah, I'm totally fine with this being worn only with the blue alternates. I think the regular hats would've just been too much blue with what they've got going with the jerseys. I think they look good, too. Not as good as the iconic regular hats, but good looking on its own. Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a blue team with orange as a secondary. The solid blue cap looked absolutely gorgeous with the Los Mets jerseys the alts were modeled after. Coupled with any player who wears the high blue socks and its perfect. The orange billed caps make it seem like some high school/collegiate/minor league look. The solid orange logo on all-blue looks like the Mets. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cap that good deserves to be on the field 162 games a year, not sidelined for the latest cynical plea for merchandise sales. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

tubby34 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 That hat is horrible- for that they should have just kept a orange bill and no white outline.I prefer they would have kept the black/blue alternate cap if they were to go to this. Even if it doesn't match a darn thing.The all blue hat would have looked beautiful with that jersey if they choose to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Along with the alt cap being crappy and unccessary, this will in all likelihood give us another instance of a team with mismatched caps and batting helmets. I doubt the Mets will pop for the extra set of batting helmets to be worn with those caps, so when the Mets wear them, you will only be able to tell in the top half of innings. Two different looks depending on if the team is batting or pitching. That's sloppy and inexcusable. Batting helmets are supposed to be nothing more than protective hats. They should look identical to the hats, and if the teams don't want to pay for extra helmets, they shouldn't wear alternate hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
