RyanMcD29 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Fantastic. My grandpa will be so happy to hear no more black. Older Mets fans generally hated it, I think.It's interesting, the general consensus among Mets fans on the internet (myself included) seems to be anti-black, but most of my Met fan friends around my age (early-mid 20s) like the black, or even prefer it.27 year old mets fan here that despises all elements of black in the mets scheme. and i still maintain that those that "prefer" the black look are those who want to casually wear the jerseys to bars, etc. solid color jerseys match better with a pair of shorts or jeans. which i get, but once the blue alt is part of the regular schedule, it will solve that problem.and colorwerx, the unveiling is at 10AM tomorrow.Well, at least one of my teams isn't unveiling a hideous jersey tomorrow Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTernup Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I think blue and orange look great with black and generally like all the black mets stuff. If I were a mets fan I would despise it, overall I think this is a great move for the mets. I can't way for the blue Alt in 2013!

Dekabreak Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Finally, after all these years, I can finally buy a Dave Mlicki road authentic jersey.And those ice-cream caps from 1997. I always loved that uniform before they added the drop-shadow. Olerud perhaps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 That's it? They removed the black, and everyone is hailing this as the best uniform change ever? They barely did anything. I'm sorry, but I don't see what's so amazing about them. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 As far as the Mets go it's the best thing they could possibly do, short of completely dropping the black and adding a blue alternate. But that'll have to wait till next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but I don't see what's so amazing about them.Because they did everything they needed to do. They already had a great identity to begin with, which was unfortunately muddied up by the black. They didn't need an overhaul by any means. I'm glad they aren't overhauling. I want the Mets just like they're about to look. Blue and orange. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I may be alone in this assessment, but I always got a "Gotham City" vibe (or NYC night--blame the Batman fan within me) from those Mets black alt jersey/cap combo and felt that it should've only been worn for weekend home night games.That said, they obviously overdid/overused the black pretty much since its inception--and I say that as one who's always liked that black alt/cap (yeah, shoot me). The new stuff is much cleaner and more crisp, though I prefer the script "New York" to the Tuscan one. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm watching right now. I gotta say, the decision to honor their 1962 roots by adopting a 1962 payroll is a stroke of marketing genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
