  1. by visibility, they mean on merchandising, because why do you need more brand visibility on a product that you're already watching. nevermind the fact that the batterman wasn't even in that spot until the year 2000.
  2. not going to lie, even with all the pearl clutching about the nike template, i kinda figured it wouldn’t matter once i turned on the tv. of course us uni nerds would care, but i figured the jerseys would be close enough that most people would just forget about it. watched the mets today and my goodness these jerseys look like absolute dog. it’s abysmal. i don’t understand how they figured these player names would be okay.
  3. everyone keeps saying the jerseys look like knockoffs, but i think they look more like youth replicas.
  4. a thought randomly occurred to me over the weekend: you think the mets changed their black uniform because they (team or nike or both) knew that a tri-color with dropshadow name and number would look horrible in the smaller font size? may have just been to sell a new batch of jerseys, but it could explain the change.
  5. yeah, IMO, i think they really only wore the black pants with the previous set of white jerseys to give the players some say in not looking as terrible. don't think they'd do that again anytime soon. i know paul at uni watch always talks about "coke" vs. "pepsi" teams. jets just re-entered the coke realm. hope they never leave again.
  6. that's a great mockup set by jake. hopefully the black unis A) look like that, and B ) have contrasting socks. i have my doubts on both, but we'll see. after 18 years on this board, it's clear that this jets move will follow the usual patterns of nitpicks, discussions of different jets looks that specific people would prefer they went back to, concepts about how they could modernize it (always with a weak-looking logo that incorporates a jet), etc. and we should, because we're logo and uniform lovers and that's what we do. but let's be honest: the jets are going to look like a football team again. whatever jets uniform you prefer, this is a MAJOR win for both us jets fans and the general aesthetics of the game.
  7. wouldn’t shock me to see the mets put out two versions: one that’s blue dominant, one black. have zero insight on that. still super weird it’s the only one that hasn’t leaked.
  8. all of them...except the ONE TEAM i want to see lol
  9. the breezers and helmet thing may be where lou does his lou thing and they just do something traditional. i'm an islanders die-hard, and i get where we sort of stack up in terms of legacy franchises and national attention, so it's really disappointing to see the half-assed effort both stadium series designs have gotten. it's probably the closest thing we'll get to a winter classic, and the uniforms are always abysmal. unbelievable that this franchise just can't hit on an alternate jersey.
  10. i, too, am not a fan of the islanders stadium series jersey, but let's not pretend that their first black alternate wasn't the worst jersey in franchise history (and among the worst in NHL history).
  11. agree, i think this is the most likely.
  12. so what are we thinking for the mets CC uni? skyline? neon? some goofy "GOTHAM" thing? a jersey with a bunch of chop shop signs?
  13. i'd love green pants for the sack exchange roads, but honestly? i'd be okay without them just to avoid the chance that they'd go green-over-green.
  14. bingo. if you could assure me the 1998 version of the modern namath era could return, i'd be into it. but we'll never get that again, so c'est la vie.
