Steven Cohen... I highly doubt that. They’ll only wear this for Friday Night Home games. Not every Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd be alright with them dumping the "really good for an alt" blue homes in favor of black jerseys? And you really think that the boner the players seem to have for black stuff wouldn't make them ask to wear it even more than once a week? This is how this starts... Only Friday at home and then they make it to the World Series and wear this crap 3 out of 4 home games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider myself a uniforms nerd. Seeing one of my favorite teams do anything significant wearing a bottom three jersey in their respective sport would definitely hurt...

VikWings Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 As long as it's only worn on Fridays and they keep black trim off the other uniforms, I'm ok with the Mets black jersey. Hopefully they use the blue brimmed hat instead of the all black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels like typical Fanatics junk. The hat wasn't New Era and none of the other items were Nike. Looks like they slapped some random logos together on a cheap hat, shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants, etc. Especially noticing the 2019 WS patch on the t-shirt and hoodie.

It’s not Fanatics branded. “Pro Standard” is the brand, and apparently for this line they can mix up current logos. https://www.mlbshop.com/baltimore-orioles/mens-baltimore-orioles-pro-standard-black-logo-jogger-pants/t-36440739+p-6088029413070+z-9-4067754860?_ref=p-SRP:m-GRID:i-r2c2:po-8 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Bringing back the [hideous] black Mets uniforms seems to have gotten momentum since Cohen bought the team a few months ago. Although these aren't technically "new" uniforms, wouldn't they be subject to the typical deadlines in order to be allowed in the 2021 set? Or are exceptions made for throwbacks?

Or are exceptions made for throwbacks? the movement to bring back the black uniforms really began in earnest during the 2019 season. alonso expressed the desire on social media, then when they acquired marcus stroman, he got in on the action, too. it's worth noting that last season was the 20th anniversary of the 2000 pennant, so it's possible that they could have been in the pipeline for a special event uni last year (one person that would know told me they were going to wear them for a weekend in 2020, but i was never able to confirm that), and now with the ownership change, they're making an exception and letting them bring them back as a regular alt.

Gothamite Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 MLB doesn't have the same standards that the NFL does - why do we think the Mets would have had to receive some sort of waiver or special treatment?
