TheOldRoman Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It may be an unpopular opinion, but I dislike nameless jerseys in any sport. They work for the Yankees, but I think every other team should have names on the jerseys. It just looks cheap to me to have nameless jerseys, like the high school jerseys which were passed down for 10 years. "You're a size 48? Okay, you get #17." While colleges, some high schools and even traveling leagues now have names on jerseys, there is something more "pro" about having your name on the back of a jersey, IMO.On the merits of the Mets specifically going nameless, MLB block is too thin of a font and the jersey looks too bare without names, as did the Dodgers a few years back. The Braves' jerseys wouldn't look too bad nameless, but the Mets' do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpalffy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm cool with the nnob with classically styled uniforms...the trick is without the name is that the number needs to be at least 1-2" higher than if there was a name above it...I think the giants and red sox are good examples of this...on the other hand when mccourt had the dodgers remove the names they left the numbers in same spot which looked really cheap.Agreed. I had the jersey done at the same place where the Mets/Knicks/Islanders have their jerseys customized. Discussed the number placement with the guy when I dropped it off. He knows his stuff. www.StadiumPage.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wait what color was it before? I can't believe I don't know the answer to that.

csura999 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wait what color was it before? I can't believe I don't know the answer to that.Black. They did work in the offseason moving some of the fences in, so they're making the new outfield wall blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmm Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Good to see the blue fences. The previous "soot" color was unique, but between the walls, the (empty) dark green seats, and the field's being enclosed by the CF scoreboard, the place always looked so dark and dreary.

SCL Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I like the blue wall, nice salute to Shea. That outfield is a monstrosity though, a lower rung modern stadium for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCL Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 No beyond the wall, the scoreboard and seats make it look like it was built in the US Cellular era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Nah, I'd say it looks more like Coors Field or good old Camden Yards with the wraparound grandstand. Comiskey is much more streamlined, even with the neo-retro retcons (which I generally like except the ivy and especially the Fundamentals deck, which busts the really nice symmetry they had going).I don't mind the ads at CitiField since they're so big and overwhelming that they become a part of the panorama. There's another famous location in New York that's noted for its unavoidable, larger-than-life, capital-of-capitalism advertisements, without which it just wouldn't be the same. I think you know what I'm talking about.Yes, that's right! Yankee Stadium! wocka wocka ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
