cmm Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 In an effort to sell more tickets, the Mets are going to be honoring their 1986 championship team throughout the season this year. Their website has a logo for the team's 20th anniversary here:'86 anniversary logoI don't like that they actually made a logo for this, but I do like the logo itself. It is in the style of the 25th anniversary logo used during the '86 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Ya all winter I was wondering if they'd come out with something for it...and I like what they did with it. I would love to see it on the right sleeve all season, but I know that won't happen for a championship anniversary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuse2000 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I couldn't find a picture, but I remember the Mets using a logo similar to this in 1996 for the 10th anniversary of their Championship.

rmackman Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I find it odd commemorating a championship year. I think it's great to hang banners for every year you've won, but to designate a season as the anniversary year. I mean, imagine if the Yankees did that. Every year would be some anniversary. Just put banners up with the team logo and the WS logo of that season. No need for patches and stuff. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I don't beleive thats a uniform patch or anything, just marketing stuff to sell tickets to a 6 pack of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockchalk Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 So does that mean that the Mets '86 pack goes directly in the trash? I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneDavid Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If it is a sleeve patch, it's a billion times better than the nonsense they wore in 2004:http://www.sportslogos.net/Site/logo.php?lo=1845 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 It's not a patch...I was just hoping if they were to wear one it would look something like that......they might just wear it for 1986 night (W/ throwbacks would be AMAZING) on August 19th vs. the Rockies...

SnapHook Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Another 20-year anniversary logo... for use in some marketing, jumbo, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The Mariners did the same thing last year with the 10th Anniversary of the 1995 Division Champs. Not even a World Series to commemorate, but hey, you gotta find some history to celebrate! They didn't use it as a patch or anything, just more of a marketing thing.

Larry013 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If it is a sleeve patch, it's a billion times better than the nonsense they wore in 2004:http://www.sportslogos.net/Site/logo.php?lo=1845 Maybe but that patch from 2004 was an updating of a the patch they wore in 1964 to celebrate the 1964-1965 World's Fair. 1964 patch:2004 Patch:The players on the 2004 patch represent the 'neon' ballplayers on the facade of Shea.

Bleujayone Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I guess a patch of Bill Buckner miffing the rolling ground ball would have been too much effort to make. We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Im sure I can get better as we get closer to the season, and I hope it is a patch worn. 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...
Byron19 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The Mets used the same sort of logo in 86 to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. I think it's pretty cool that they used the new logo to echo an old logo.---Check this out:www.room19comics.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Here's another view of the logo: The text on the bottom is bad. From a distance, the swash on the W runs into the 2 and makes it look like a 3. At first I thought "30th Anniversary... someone needs to go back to grade school".
