goforbroke Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nothing groundbreaking... just a quick idea I had. I kept some black trim, and this can be used with the classic blue cap, but I figured I might as well add a matching cap just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadmaxim Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 i changed the patch logo to this: http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=ogj...069i7pykw9mzmejI love it.Love the Mr. Met patch on the side.And I like the white NY on the blue hat, ala the Brooklyn Dodgers.I'm not put off by the small amount of orange overall, either.Very sharp.

Yankeefan38 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I like it. I like the away jersey with the New York lettering, very sharp. Simulation Open Wheel Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I know that they are still quite different, but there's already a team across town that wears a blue cap with a white NY logo on it. Also, as Mr. Met has a blue cap with an orange logo on it, I think for consistency's sake, the hat should have an orange NY.Other than that though, I quite like this set. I'd say it'd be best used on the road, much like the Houston Astros wear their reds on the road. (That's just personal bias I suppose. It's a great addition of color into the normal white v. grey look. Just don't wear them to Wrigley if Zambrano is pitching. He likes to wear blue alts I gather.) I especially like how the orange is used sparingly on the jersey, but is still present as an accent enough to be noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Good job, I love the Mr. Met on the sleeve. I would prefer the wordmarks to be in Orange outlined in white instead of the opposite but overall I like these better than the black alts.

I would prefer the wordmarks to be in Orange outlined in white instead of the opposite but overall I like these better than the black alts.Yeah I played around with a bunch of combinations, but I think orange-on-blue has been done to death on these boards as a Mets alt jersey concept. Thats why I wanted to go in a different direction with white-on-blue. I think the reason everyone wants to try orange on blue outlined in white is because thats how the logo is! So its like an obvious choice. As far as the hat goes, like I said this could easily be worn with the classic blue cap, I just made a matching white-on-blue cap for the heck of it.Thanks for the positive feedback all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwboiler Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It seems like it needs a bit more orange. Almost too much blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think it looks good (maybe even better) with the classic orange on blue cap. that would also bring more orange into the concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00tness Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think it would look a bit better if you made the "Mets" and "New York" orange, but other than that, I really like this concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telemundo219 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It's a great idea (the blue unis) but it doesn't look right to me (in terms of the font). Maybe switch the font outline color from black to orange and the shadow from orange to black or make the font orange, outline white, and shadow black. College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Goforbroke, I agree it looks better with the classic blue cap. I had one other idea though. What if since the home one has the Mets logo in white, the road one had it in gray? Just a thought. I really like the way that road one looks though.
