vicfurth Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Local paper ran a story today about the Rangers' new batting helmets. Because of bad PR with fans (and the fact they look like crap), the new two-tone helmets are no more.Thank you, Nolan Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 What i'm trying to figure out is, what was wrong with their last set? Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 What i'm trying to figure out is, what was wrong with their last set?It didn't have placket piping and there was black on the jerseys. Their new unis addressed neither of these problems. Either way, it was a good choice to dump that helmet. Hopefully the Mets and Rockies follow suit.

GuitarPunk2512 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 honestly i see absolutley nothing wrong with the rockies and mets helmets. i actually like them and think they blend well since both colors are dark. but red and blue dont blend and looked like absolute crap. if the rangers wanted red/blue then they should have went with blue helmet with red birm and vice versa.

oo_nrb Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yes please follow suit Mets Im sick of two tone helmets .What about the Rockies???It's purple and shiny. And it shouldn't go away, in my opinion, cause it makes the rest of the purple in the uniform stand out a bit better, whereas if the team had a black helmet, the purple would look black and everything would get a lot more subdued. 2011 Colorado Rockies | Season from Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsM29 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'm pretty mutual on this. I feel it works for some teams, and not for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 To me the helmets of the Mets and Rockies look like they belong on 12 year old girls playing softball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I kind of like the Rockies and Mets two-tone helmets. I think it's that the two colors are both dark that makes it look good. The Rangers helmets looked terrible because the red and blue are bth strong colors that stand out against each other. It makes it look like they are wearing two different helmets or something.

VandyDelphia Mike Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 New Era has made enough hat abominations that you'd think they'd be able to replicate the gradient on the Mets & Rockies helmets to a cap.THEN you'd see a storm of feces break out 'round these parts!

hormone Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'm glad these are scrapped. I'm one of the people who believe the helmet should be a hard cover version of the hat. If that's not supposed to be the case, then I'm confused.On the side...remember when you're a kid and go to the park and could get those replica plastic helmets...what do they sell for the Mets/Rockies...just all black?

deliver2david Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I always thought the helmets should match the caps. That's why I don't like the two tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I really don't care about the Rockies. The Mets, however, would look awesome with just simple blue helmets. Hell, they would look awesome if they scrapped their solid white uniforms and just went to the pinstripes...but that's another story for another day.
