njmeadowlanders Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Right Sleeve.I know they won't be wearing the black jersey much at all, but would it be safe to presume that it will have a thin white outline when they wear black uniforms?

RedSox44 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 This is nice. Much better than any of the elaborate memorial patches we've seen the past few years. I wonder if the Nats are doing anything for Carter."Oh, goddammit, just when I was finally getting ready to enjoy a Mets uniform without any black in it!"--Paul LukasI laughed.

RedSox44 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Are the Nationals planning anything?Speaking of the Nats, have they or haven't they kept the Expos' retired numbers out of circulation?The numbers are in circulation, but Carter and Dawson are part of a "ring of honor", honoring Montreal and Washington baseball history. I think we'll see a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Does anybody else think that using his nickname is kind of unprofessional? I rather see "GC", "Carter" (in a smaller size), or even just the number by itself.And will the patch be worn the entire year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I do not even recall him going by "Kid." I prefer numbers, too, especially if that number is retired by the team. I like the way the Yankees did it before George. That was too much. The Cubs' Santo patch was decent, although I'd have preferred no red outline on the 10. But to each their own.Hey, what are the chances the Mets pull a Twins and decide to wear black at home every game to honor Carter and spite Lukas?

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 To be fair, just about every reference to Sparky Anderson was, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 While I never referred to him as "The Kid", it was always known that was his name, so that's fine. I do wish that instead of using black, they would've used orange to outline a white home plate with blue for "The Kid" and a blue and orange "8". Maybe even add pinstripes to the plate. I understand that it's tradition to use black for a memorial patch, but who says you can't make a colorful memorial patch? Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm all for conservative, simple, classic designs... but these same old black patches with white letters is getting old. I know its about paying respect to a deceased player, but I would have to think people want to be memorialized more that by a somber black patch. To be honest, all homerism aside, I think the Indians' Herb Score patch was perfect.

I think this patch is fine. But if you want to add some color to it, make the plate white and add a Mets-colored trim. But that's it. Go A's!

Gothamite Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I agree. Sometimes a unique treatment works (the Indians' Bob Feller patch springs to mind), but for the vast majority of these tributes, somber and dignified is best.And in every case, the simpler the better.
