DelayedPenalty Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Maybe this is why they needed a $25 million loan from MLB? Ugly, 1 day use hats for a spring training game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver2david Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's a lot more clever than simply wearing a green hat. I like it. It shows a touch of originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 As much as I like the orange NY on a green hat, I have to say this is a pretty cool hat for a one-off spring training game. No harm, no foul IMO Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wouldn't mind seeing the Mets come out with a blue cap with the regular Mr. Met head on it. I think it'd look awesome. Maybe they could make the button and bill orange as well. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could make the button and bill orange as well.I'm pretty sure under section 1.11 article (e) No part of the uniform shall include a pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball so i don't think they are aloud to have their logo of mr.met on their hat since his head is a baseball. I'm a little confused on the official ruling since many teams have baseball shaped logo patches. offical rule though the blues old hat used too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark green is too close to the color of the actual baseball cap fabric, and the light green is way too dark. From a distance you're only going to see the bright green. Basically I just think the dark green needs lightening up a bit, so the shadows don't get lost in the background...or maybe add a black outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGWB Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Good idea, Mets.For the Sabres Store, we just had a bunch of green things with green Sabres logos.But this is a new twist and would like to see it more often.Rather than just putting a shamrock on something green with a team logo.

They always had it on the cap, but had a different version on their jersey. I always thought it was because the swirl could make it look a little like a baseball, which wasn't allowed.

njmeadowlanders Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah if that's a rule there has to be leeway or clarifications. The Mets logo has baseball stitches and appeared on all their uniforms throughout their history with the exception being the racing-stripe era.
