pmoehrin Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I wish they would just ditch black in all aspects, and possibly use a blue jersey for the alt Instead.Overall though, It's definitely a change for the better. So I can't complain.I think they might eventually. Happy to see that they dropped the black shadow. It just looked out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Based on the fact that they didnt bother to remove the sleeve logo off the Black jersey, it further proves that those jerseys are done after this year. Also proves that the other 3 jerseys wont have any sleeve patch after this season.That proves nothing. They've had the club logo on the left sleeve for the vast majority of their existence. Why would this mean they're done after this season?Also, I love them. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I can't wait to get my hands on a road gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be so much better on the road:...with this hat:No and no.No and no? What is wrong with that? I don't think that jersey could be the Mets new road uniform, BUT- the current piping pattern with that script, instead of the red sox font block New York. I'm not sure about that hat though. I don't think it would work with the regular roads but to go with an alternate jersey (blue or orange) it would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1994 they wore this logo instead of the regular logo patch for the season. The regular logo patch returned the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 OK, now this is awesome. Good to know that while the team is under-performing, the design department is finally getting their act together. Now if only the 1987 road script came back somehow...

shoejohn Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Is the blue used on the road uni lighter than on the home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It's good to see them make the right move by removing the black drop shadow. It looked good in 2001, but it's been time for it to go for a long while now. Now the Rangers are the ones who need to follow up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Is the blue used on the road uni lighter than on the home?It's probably just the lighting of the picture. My educated guess would be it's the same hue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wish the primary logo was on that left sleeve, and the patch was on the right sleeve. The Mets have a great logo. Keep it on there.Edit: might have spoke too soon after reading erlovepuck's post Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

larrypep Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Metsblog has now posted an image of the plain white and road. Adam Rubin sent out the pinstripes version.Edit: In the interest of not misleading anybody they still have the black alt so I wanted to add that image as well. Interestingly that's the only one with both the Mets logo patch and the 50th Anniversary patch.Beautiful. All they need to do is get rid of the black uniform and they have a great set.

cmm Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Does anyone know if the pinstriped jersey is the official home jersey or officially an alternate? It really doesn't matter since when the pinstripes were the official home jerseys they were barely worn once the plain whites were unveiled. I'm just curious.

The Mojo Maniac Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Does anyone know if the pinstriped jersey is the official home jersey or officially an alternate? It really doesn't matter since when the pinstripes were the official home jerseys they were barely worn once the plain whites were unveiled. I'm just curious.I believe at this point the pinstripes are still considered the alternate, but I'm guessing that designation may change this season since they are trying to dress like the original Mets, who of course had no home jersey besides the pinstripes.If I could have it my way, I would give the Mets the choice of wearing either the black or all-white alternate for a maximum of ONE home game per week, pinstripes the rest of the time. No alts on the road, and in fact I would like to see the all-white uni be phased out after the black is all gone. It just feels a bit "tacked on" IMO. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

The_Admiral Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Re-posting from the main MLB thread:Sadly, the Mets missed a great opportunity here. This would be so much better on the road:...with this hat:No and no.That's a fine enough BP/ST hat design, but the Mets only need one hat for games. That cursive New York script is so much better than the Tuscan lettering, which doesn't even match the cap monogram enough to justify it as part of a cohesive set the way the cursive New York echoes the cursive Mets. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
