hormone 621 Posted December 14, 2014 Why don't we just get it over with and across every major sport and the NCAA, give each team the following uniforms:1. White (because you can't have whiteouts without it)2. Team Color (because your identity will be worn twice per season)3. Team Secondary Color (because we can invert colors)4. Gray/Silver/Anthracite (or all of the above)5. Black (for the badasses)6. Neon version of team colors (for the shoe manufacturers)7. Camo (so we can charge you more for an ugly jersey, but donate $1 per overpriced shirt and call you un-American if you don't buy)8. Pink (so we can charge you more, donate even less, and play on you and your mom/girlfriend/wife's emotions)And when that is all milked to death...sell ad space. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigers6884 493 Posted December 14, 2014 Mets should have introduced a slogan when they got their camo jerseys: "First to Fight, still last in our Division"The Marlins should also introduce a new slogan: “Last in our divison, first to dump our players when they become somewhat valuable". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WSU151 9,534 Posted December 14, 2014 Another look at the new Mets road alt cap:It's like they saw Oakland's new road cap and said "Yeah, we could do something like that". The regular hat is a lot better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 19,527 Posted December 14, 2014 While that cap is stupid and unnecessary, that logo doesn't get enough credit for being such a wonderful take on the interlocking NY concept. I know they didn't really create it (though I thought the NYG version was spiker at the ends) but it's very classy (when done in a single color - not that crap.) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 23,689 Posted December 14, 2014 I agree, it's a great logo. That version was used by the Giants in their last years. They did have a spikier version dating from the turn of the century that was phased out in the early 1950s. That logo survived through a bunch of color changes, sometimes with an outline, sometimes with the N and Y in different colors, all the way to the orange-and-black uniforms that the SF Giants still wear (this one is obviously a repro):Although it wasn't used very long, the last Giants logo got ossified as the "official" one after they left, and when the Mets came to town that's the one they adopted. The new Mets cap looks like this Giants cap from the mid 1940s: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a marlins fan, I've applauded every move when they dump players- even the Miggy and Jays trades. Sometimes, the uneducated fans need to look past the headlines. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted Cunningham 443 Posted December 15, 2014 Ugh. People on Twitter are saying the jerseys will be worn on Thursday home games.Luckily, that's it. There are only 8 Thursday home games on the schedule. 154 games not in camo is better than I had expected, especially given their love for the black alternate jersey. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
