Brian E Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 7 minutes ago, Krona said: Not saying they wear Dodgers throwbacks, just use the pattern, which 99% of fans wouldn't connect to the Dodgers unless it was pointed out. As for the being about the city, that's the point. Use a subway tile inspired design with the windowpane as the architecture. And also, half of these teams are misunderstanding the assignment of "CITY". It's a dumb program that could be marginally better if they lifted a dumb name that doesn't mean anything. no, i mean...you're definitely right. i'm just saying from a PR perspective, it's probably why they wouldn't even touch anything dodger related. honestly, they could have just done something inspired by the neon on the outside of shea stadium and everyone would have loved it. but again, it's for the dude walking through times square going, "oh cool NYC jersey! i'll buy that!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The Mets new CC isn’t terrible other than the cap. That mid 2000s Lids gangster rapper style with the bridges and other landmarks has gotta go. I just can’t help but get a real strong Yankees vibe from this though. Something about the old scruffy look with the pinstripes sort of misses for NYC’s expansion franchise IMO. 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

AstroCree Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I was expecting more purple out of the jersey since it was heavily featured in the teaser. I don't really care for them as is. Like a lot of CC's, these are just another swing and a miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The tweets and Mothership article don't show the socks, but they're on sale. https://www.mlbshop.com/new-york-mets/unisex-new-york-mets-stance-black-2024-city-connect-over-the-calf-socks/t-36448775+p-46111126168145+z-8-1632730480 EDIT: Wow, they actually are visible in one shot, but the details are so dark that they're nearly indistinguishable from plain black socks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green27 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 3 hours ago, Brian E said: just curious if this does anything for anyone. super quick removal of the bridge from the cap and changing the outlines on the jersey and hat to purple. This takes a 5 or 6/10 and makes it an 8 or 9 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Might be the shade of the quick mockup, but too much of the color gives me special event vibes.

aawagner011 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Braves Friday reds are making their debut in the new template. At this point, the only one they haven’t worn is the new navy road alternate. Edit - photo added. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBeltz Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 6 hours ago, tp49 said: The 59th Street bridge on the cap looks horrible. The only thing iconic about it is the potholes. Also reminds me too much of the Giants' CC cap. I'd have figured the Mets would have brought back the Mercury Mets and called it a day. That’s why I was hoping the token hat from the second leak picture was going to be it. That hat doesn’t seem to be available yet on MLB Shop or New Era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 For what it is, I honestly really like the Mets' City Connect. A bit more purple would certainly be nice, but the shade they're using really pops where it is used. I'm really surprised they didn't go with matching pants, but given the general disapproval many have had of dark pants, I suppose it makes sense. I'm also surprised they didn't mention the 1910's New York Giants as inspiration, as they shared a similar color scheme. For that reason, I think this set really works as a nice "sub-brand" for the Mets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Today crossed a lot off the list of still-missing uniforms. Boston Red (although it was worn as Spring Training) Toronto Powder Blue Angels City Connect Seattle Cream Texas City Connect Cubs City Connect Milwaukee Pinstripe and City Connect St. Louis Cream and Powder Blue Atlanta Navy (although it was worn as Spring Training) Washington Pullover Dodgers Los Angeles Gray San Francisco City Connect What's interesting is that a number of the alts that have popped up have been worn on the usual City Connect night for clubs (Friday nights). Are teams dropping the City Connects, or are a number letting them be delayed in favor of regular unis in an instance Nike couldn't have all five done and made the clubs choose? Also it's really weird to have the Nats pull out a brand new uniform and laud it in the off-season then not have it ready for the season. How do you reveal a new look and then not have the stock to wear them? Or are whoever makes the choice just not deciding to wear them any of the days yet? Maybe they needed to have one uni not ready by the start and they elected to go with their home and new road, an alt that could be worn both (you can't wear a white alt on the road), and the City Connect they said they're wearing for the last time now? Still a bit of an embarrassment. PS - Looking back at the Giants' orange unis, the outline seems to match the cream of the home rather than more of a metallic gold that I remember. Is that lighting, a Nike change, or was it always matte beige? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 We haven't seen the 1983 White Sox Sunday throwbacks, though I did see an unconfirmed tweet that they've been flat-out dropped. Also not sure if their City Connects have been worn or not, because that would require watching White Sox baseball, and I've got enough problems right now. 2 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

M59 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 19 hours ago, Silent Wind of Doom said: Full graphite at home has got to be against some rule since the traditional away is gray. While we've gotten some stupid same-color matchups in the past, I can't imagine the league would let a team wear full-gray at home. I was wondering about that when the jersey leaked. Gray vs gray would be peak Cash Grab Connect: boring and confusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what’s going on with the Sox City Connects. I doubt they’ve been discontinued or else we probably would’ve heard about it by now. In past years, they’ve worn them for “Southside Mondays” home games, but so far this year they’ve only played two of those, and one of them was on Jackie Robinson Day.
