cmm Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I like these more than the 2 black batting helmets they have (since there is more blue and less black on these), but the plain blue ones with the orange NY are the best, by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 While we're on the Little League rant, someone teach this guy how to bunt!! His bottom hand shouldn't be halfway up the barrel and he is asking to break a finger or two on his top hand.

Sodboy13 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Looks similar to Michigan's helmet's. Yes, except for the part where these suck.

njmeadowlanders Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm a lifelong Mets fan and since they pulled that black crap in 1998 I haven't bought any Mets apparel that has black in it as part of the wordmark or logo. That includes white jerseys with the black trim on the lettering...it should be pinstripes @ home w/ blue hat, snow white at home w/ blue hat, and grey road w/ blue hat. Thats IT. And limit the snow whites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Call me old school or whatever, but I think the batting helmet is the hard shell version of your hat. It bugs me when some teams (in pro and college) have a completely different helmet than what is on the field in hat form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 While we're on the Little League rant, someone teach this guy how to bunt!! His bottom hand shouldn't be halfway up the barrel and he is asking to break a finger or two on his top hand. Hey leopard, it is Billy Wagner, lol. We've been over him already. Like I said there's always an injury risk with him, apparently even when bunting. Also, watching a reliever try to hit makes my day because I know I am better than major leaguer at something.

Islesfan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I saw the Mets play in person for the first time ever on my honeymoon in NYC last July. They creamed the Braves 8-1 and I've been hooked on them ever since. Don't mind these helmets but they should stick with the blue with orange NY. Classic. I agree that they haven't done anything since introducing black and although someone did mention the 2000 World Series...they didn't win it all so that doesn't count..."close" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.By the way...does anyone know how I can get my signature flags smaller??Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bugs me when some teams (in pro and college) have a completely different helmet than what is on the field in hat form. i'll call ya old school, and tag myself as old school too. the D-backs' 98 purple helmets bugged the hell outta me cus the hats had the A, and the helmets had the snake D.

hoosier57 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I saw these in my newspaper (Newsday) today but the picture was in black and white. It looked like the batting practice hats as the helmet version. As a lifelong Mets fan, I hope these helmets that look like they've been fished out of a pay toilet at Penn Station will not make it to a regular season game.

yankeefrank15 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 That helmet is the new Rawlings Coolflo. Wow, it's a good thing they didn't name it the Coolio...Although a batting helmet with cornrows sticking out of it would probably be less hideous then those, y'heard?Anyone else sporting these monstrosities in ST?
