KennyRock Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Since I got here, I've been trying to nail down exactly what I'd like to see the Mets wear. Here's my first complete stab at it:Uniforms: - I ditched the home pinstripes, the home black alt, the road black alt and the BP jersey. - I kept the clean whites and road greys nearly the same. - I add a blue alternate, much in the tune of the blue Cooperstown jersey. - I added a black BP, so the Mets have something to sell, seeing as they claim their black stuff sells the best. I don't mind it on the BP.Caps: - The traditional blue home cap is now the cap for both home and road. - I ditched the all-black alternate cap and the current BP cap. - I made the black/blue road cap the BP cap. - I introduced a new alt cap, a blue hat with and orange bill and a white outline around the "NY", just like the matching jersey.Logos: - The main logo went unchanged. The secondary was simplified a bit to match the BP jersey.Wordmarks: - The black drop shadow has been dropped from the home and road wordmarks. - A new wordmark(orange with white outline) was created for the Alt. - A new wordmark(blue with orange outline) was created to match the Hat and logo on the BP.And here ya go: New York Jets |3-3| First, AFC EastNew York Mets |74-88| Fourth, NL EastNew York Islanders|34-37-11| Fifth, Atlantic DivisionNew Orleans Hornets |21-45| Third, Southwest Division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I've always thought the stripes-less white Mets jerseys looked funny.That'd be like taking the red out of the Red Sox..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I like your work. It's clean without all the pizazz of the pinstripes-drop shadow-what-do-we-wear-today unis they have now.Only things you forgot are stripes on the pants. Plain pants are too plain, unless you're the Dodgers. And put numbers on the front of all the jerseys. The shirts look too plain without them. Great job!

boardname Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 VERY nice. This is pretty good. I'd agree with the guy above who said to bring back the pinstripes, though. They've been wearing them since 1962... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Off topic a little bit, it always bothered me that the "Mets" script doesn't match the "New York" script which doesn't match the "NY" on the hats. A little consistancy would be nice.Anyway, as for your concept, add piping to the side of the pants and you are pretty much set. Maybe the home/road caps would be better with the white outline like you did with the alt cap?

WCFSwimCoach Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Not bad...just curious, have they ever had jerseys that said "Metropolitians" on them? Just a thought, those might be interesting maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblue586 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 As a huge Mets fan, I really appreciate what you've done. The drop-shadows and black everywhere had really gotten a little ridiculous. I love the clean white and gray uniforms you've made for the blue cap, wouldn't mind seeing the pinstripes still used on occasion (they've played well with them this year). I don't really picture them in the blue alternate, so maybe just repalce that with the pinstripes. Otherwise, fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The home version needs the pinstripes. I like the colored yoke.I don't like the alt, it seems like it's missing something.The black batting jersey looks nice, but it makes no sense since there's no black anywhere else but there. I think black could be used just for shadowing (like it is now), or a trim (like the bill of the caps) ,and will make all the letters and numbers pop out more. Then a black BP would at least be a consistent scheme as the home, away & alt. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought, those might be interesting maybe??? I've actually tried making alts with "Metropolitans" - here are my attempts:I dunno, it's such a long name, not sure how one would make it look good. To answer your question, they've never worn jerseys with the full name spelled out.By the way, thanks for all the comments - I'll prolly add pinstripes back in, and add pants striping on the road. I'll see if I can tie in black - I admit it looks a little outta place when it's nowhere else in the identity.

Andy Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I would try putting Metropolitians in an arc, rather than a slant, across the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyRock Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I would try putting Metropolitians in an arc, rather than a slant, across the front. You're probably right. I've kinda given up on that idea for now. People are used to the "Mets" script, and it prolly ain't goin' anywhere.

knox Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 "METROPOLITANS" could work, if it were a simple sans-serif font that was arched to fit it on the front of a shirt. It would have a really old-time feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 KennyRock, I absolutley love this concept despite I do not like the Mets, this is without a doubt the best concept I have ever seen on the boards and is also the most realistic.

tp49 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I could live with black if it is only in the BP's. Otherwise I really like this a lot, although as a traditionalist I think the Mets should have a pinstripe uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
