Snowcap30 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 i hate the black on the mets so i decided to make a unis set with blue as the main.http://www.geocities.com/mikeyt30/uniforms/Mets-1.gifcopy paste and comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I have to say that these are some pretty good designs, good use of the sleeveless jersey style. But I'm kinda getting sick of this whole "black-is-the-devil" attitude that seems to be prevailing around here. As long as you use it as a minimal drop shadow color, it can really enhance a logo. I'm not talking about doing jerseys where black is the dominant color (which obviously you wanted to avoid), but you don't have to abolish it. Also, why not bring back the pinstripes for the home jerseys? Just a thought, I hardly think "Miracle Mets" when seeing a Mets home jersey without them. Also, the stripes at the sleeve ends of the away jersey I think are a bit much (especially with a sleeveless vest style).All in all, I think you did a very nice job, but you may want to try reintroducing black as an extremely minimal accent color...

I guess I could see either one working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I like all but the blue alternate. However, why did u put number 12 on the jerseys Im having Roberto Alomar flashbacks www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Didn't Ron Darling also wear #12 during the championship years (i.e. the years of Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry coked out of their minds)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I reckon these are a really good set well done snowcap! Maybe you could have done an alternate influenced by the '86 team?? I always think alternates (particularly alternate concepts) should be a way for designers to push the boat out a bit and see what can be done! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I like these. I think the Mets could pull off the sleeveless designs. They've butchered their old unis with this alternates galore and dominant black stuff, so why not this?To moser-- They rarely even wear those pinstriped unis. You know it's bad when I turned on the Braves game and was shocked to see the Mets in pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 no disrespect, mose, most of us just hate the black fad cus everybody and their mother's wearing black these days. it was like 'when the falcons, kings and white sox switched to black jerseys it was cool. when the mets did it 8 years later it was overkill.' ya know like that. it's overkill more than anything else, like the broncos uniform template.

But when we're talking a minimal accent color (most commonly seen in drop shadow effects), most people here rarely make that distinction. The Mets are one of those teams where it looks good on the home and away script, but that is where I would draw the line. I think black alternate jerseys for home and away are a bit gratuitous, but one or the other would be a bit more tolerable (i.e. a blue home alternate and a black away alternate).

Snowcap30 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 mos - i agree with u on having the little black as an outline to sorta give it dimension but its only a concept thanks for the feedback. i am playin to do another one since i like making baseball unis now. im giving the whole hockey thing a break.

The only "new school" idea in baseball is the new design for the BP jerseys. Which by the way for the Mets, ouch! They are the only team that went with a bright, secondary color. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Ok, I can't say I mind black for the Mets as a drop shadow. Heck, I'll say it looks good. they just use it for too much else. If they used this combination of hats, unis, belts, socks, and shoes they would be almost perfect. Only think I would do is add a black dropshadow to the NY on the hat to match the rest of the stuff.I don't care for the pinstripes, but it's still a viable option.

jkrdevil Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I don't know about pinstripes for the mets. If i was a Mets fan I wouldn't want pinstripes because it's saying we want to be the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I like them a lot. the alternate looks pretty great too. im not all into the gray sleeveless, but i think the mets could do it. Atleast you avoided the dreaded grey pinstripe. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 About the sleeveless fad. A lot of the reason the sleeveless jerseys are around is obviously marketing and fashion, but I believe player wearing comfort is a part of it too. I used to play baseball(catcher) for my school and we have these sleeveless alternates. Man those things are comfortable. You feel less constricted, better air flow, and it just feels better when you throw, swing, anything where you rotate and move your arms. Owners and people who make these decisions probably don't care how the players feel, but they are nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I'm going with Sabres. I also play baseball in a city league, and we have two jerseys...one sleeveless and one regular. I love the sleveless. I'm a pitcher/3rd baseman and the like sabres said, it's overall much less restricting...I even ordered my jersey last year (we didn't have the sleeveless) 2 sizes too big so I would have full range of motion.Back on topic, I don't mind the sleeveless jerseys. I actually like them...I kinda wish the Braves would introduce a sleeveless alternate...or SOME sort of alternate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
