wonderbread Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The Queens Baseball Convention which will include a discussion on the Mets' greatest uniforms will be held on January 18. Panelists will include Paul Lukas and Todd Radom among others. The Mets' 1983-1990 uniforms, which had racing stripes were just outstanding.Why are you bringing back dead threads Chillax, it hasn't even been a month yet.Racing stripes, if done well could work well for a few teams. Something like what was used for the Dodgers would look great, though not for the Dodgers themselves.It's only been dead for a month because of his post, and this isnt the first time he's done this, he's done it a lot.

BBTV Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I don't see the problem in discussing racing stripes. Gotta love fake mods.Anyway, I really do think that racing stripes could work and look good on several teams. I'm not sure why people automatically jump to conclusions and think that racing stripes would lead to the return of pullovers and are therefore inherently bad.Collar trim was essentially dead once pullovers went away, but it's come back with several teams. Racing stripes aren't tacky or gaudy at all when done right. They don't even have to go down the side of the jersey, just the sleeves - though the sides could work too for a couple of teams.

Sport Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I kinda thought they were going to make a come back after thisbut that was just a one time blip as a tribute to the Astros' racing stripes of the late 80's and early 90's. But it does show that racing stripes can work on a modern jersey (although this was ten years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysama Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The Angels had the same striping pattern on their BP jerseys in the 1980s, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've never been a fan of the Astros' "rainbow" scheme but I gotta admit that doesn't look half bad.That has long been my favorite Astros uni of all time.

Anubis2051 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I know I'm in the minority, but I still think that this is the Mets best look. Bring it back as a button front and own the racing stripes look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I still maintain that as much as I love racing stripes, they do not work with pinstripes. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I would agree with that. The 80s Phillies was better because it was only a single-color racing stripe that matched the pinstripes, but as a rule it should be one or the other.

PhantomDreamer Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Racing stripes on baseball jerseys is a great and timeless look as evidenced by this Puerto Rican All Star team in 1995. Roberto Alomar, Carmelo Martinez, Edgar Martinez, Rey Sanchez, Ruben Sierra, Carlos Baerga, Bernie Williams, Juan Gonzalez and Carlos Delgado. Great lineup with a great look.

PhantomDreamer Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 that was almost 20 years ago, they aren't coming backMaybe, maybe not. They should though. If Adidas can resurrect old Astros and White Sox looks, then racing stripes can and should make a comeback. Tom Seaver never wore a better Mets uniform. Classic.

The Mets wore button-front jerseys with racing stripes in 1991 and 1992 and they paled in comparison to the previous years versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
