Carter23 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 deadspinThe Mets online store is offering these official hats that include a new "2009 Inaugural" patch that does not appear to have been designed in three seconds by a first grader.

JayJaxon Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hmm....I thought they were still wearing the crappy one on their sleeve though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I believe the crappy one is for the jerseys and the classy one is for merchandise.

meetthemets Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The patch is just for the hat. The Dominoes logo will still be on the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJaxon Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I really don't think they need to be wearing that patch on their hat all year long. For the first home series I could see it. But I guess it's gonna be all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManCalledAmp Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Classy logo, but horribly goofy execution to put it opposite the Pizza Patch. Major flaw. If not for the mismatched patches, I'd have no trouble with the logo being on the hat all year (at home, anyway).However, I had a scary thought about the jerseys this year, made even scarier with the double-patch business.For whatever reason, at some point in the future, the Mets are going to have to throw back to this season. Pennant or series, milestone, prefect game or similar achievement, a player's farewell tour (like Biggio's with the Astros, I believe), or (if they dump the black in 2010) a "last year of the black" throwback, 10 or 20 years later...maybe even a salute to the park's opening series in the 10th/20th/25th season. But I fear that for some reason, we may wind up seeing Mets' 2009 throwbacks in the future.Which means that the Pizza Patch, and now its classy but non-matching dome-top counterpart, may haunt us again in the future beyond the pictures in the archives. And that IS truly scary. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam.

And that IS truly scary.If they did throwback to this period, more than likely they would not put an Inaugural Season Stadium patch on the jerseys, since it would not be the stadium's first year. That would probably only have a really small chance of happening if this were to be the ONLY season a uniform set was worn. But since they've worn these since 1998, after this year, we'll never have to see that patch on the uniforms again. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuse2000 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yup, that patch will just be on the hats and Mets' store merchandise. The crappy logo will still appear on the jersey's this seasonAny chance these picture tell a different story?

Gothamite Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You can't read anything about patches into those pictures - often times, the players are wearing blank jerseys for the photo shoot, or even replica jerseys.You can be sure that the Mets will be wearing a sleeve patch, if only because they expect to sell more to fans that way.

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The Giants were wearing Russell jerseys in their photos this year. (How long have they been hanging on to those?!) So sadly it means nothing. I think UniWatch had the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk2512 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 i dont like the material the jersey is made of, you can clearly see what i mean in the pic of reyes, i hope the replica jerseys are still made double knit on the silk like material. i saw the jerseys in philly and they were made of that same stuff in reyes pic and the way phillies was put on the jersey looked really bad also.

ManCalledAmp Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 As far as wearing the specific jerseys in the future goes, if they throw back to an era, you're probably right. These are the same jerseys as before, but with the patches. So as stated, I doubt that they'd opt for the patch later.What I was talking about is if they wanted to accurately reproduce the look of this year's team. For example, a pennant, a tribute, a milestone. While they rarely get it right, I know we've seen teams attempt throwbacks with period patches and/or memorials on them, thought specific examples ellude me. If they wanted to accurately throw back to THIS specific year, I doubt they could leave off the details that show it is this year--in other words, the patch(es).And while I didn't find the pics, I did find the event I was talking about. The Astros did a major tribute to Craig Biggio as a send off, wearing different era jerseys for each day of the season-ending home series. As I recall, we discussed some of the details on the boards here, including someone maybe even wearing an actual jersey from that time frame (due to a detail left off of the rest of them). So in other words, there is always reason to fear the return of crappy jersey design--even if the tributes aren't done right, there's always the prospect of finding a skeleton in a team's closet or locker.That being said, short of winning the pennant or series I couldn't see a reason to throw back to this specific year anyway, so it's mainly just my weak attempt at fear-mongering, and trying to prove that I'm not a complete dolt all the time.Still, there's that nagging fear that something may be up...teams with garish looks, whether in totality or due to a minor aberration like the patch(es) here, sometimes get rewarded by fate. Maybe my Braves can take care of business and make certain that fear is a non-factor...but it won't exactly be easy. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam. Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.
