TheOldRoman Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Lol stalking you? I have the unfortunate displeasure of having to read your posts on this forum when you post in a thread I'm reading. Heck, I've avoided threads because I saw you posted on them. And I wouldn't even dare read what you wrote in a political thread in feat of getting physically I'll.I meant Conservatism, though I have my own words for that moronic way of viewing the world that would probably get me banned from this forum. Also I'm not even a Paul Lukas fan (unlike your obsession over him I've hardly ever read him) and I'm also not a liberal. My political views are ABC: Anything But Conservative. The average view of the Republican Party revolves around keeping money from the poor lest they need to survive, and going to pointless wars because a soulless, evil politician scared the public into it.And sure you don't mention him EVERY post, but you sure as hell bring him up whenever you can. Anytime you disagree with a popular opinion you go off about how "sure that idiot Paul Lukas thinks it, but screw him, I don't even read him even though I'm caught up on his every breath". But I'll concede you don't post about him all the time. Sometimes you mix in some classic xenophobia, as you consider it an unholy sin to honour another country yet you're all aboard these despicable money-whoring camo abominations. Guess what moron, America doesn't have an official language. And if you wish to only acknowledge this nation's "true" language, get English the hell out of here, as the English merely came in and stole this land from the native tribes. In fact I'm horribly offended by English uniforms, how DARE they use that language here, this isn't England!And LOL please this is a SPORTS LOGOS website. I should have no idea your atrocious political views from simple reading the Sports Logos section of the board, and yet I know them fully well because you shove them into every post you can.Screw you and your archaic views, they holding this whole species back and I'd like to think this is a forum I could come to where I didn't have to hear them. But nope you have to bring how awful Paul Lukas or Spanish uniforms are in ever damn post. Heck you having. George Bush as your profile pic a while back was enough to make me urge, once I realized somehow you didn't have him there as a joke. I've had enough of it.Well I'm obviously getting suspended after this post, but it don't care. One last thing, where did you EVER get the idea I joined because of you? You're the number one reason I would have to NOT join this forum. So you piss off, and hey how about your dumbass party allows adults who consensually love each other to live their lives the way they wish to? You're disgusted by homosexuality? I'm disgusted by your whole way of thinking!Also I prefer the snow whites for the Mets, the pinstripes are nice and all but I feel the Cubs already have the claim on blue pinstripes.You're not coming off as intelligent. And yeah, the whole "long-time lurker" thing seems pretty specious when you come on here specifically to pick fghts with one particular person. Which means you were very likely banned for having a slap-fight with him under a previous user name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You know, I've never understood this whole "Giants are black and orange/Orioles are orange and black" thing. They have the same color scheme in their uniforms, save for both trading through their history between black text with orange outline and orange text with black outline. I don't believe the Orioles have ever had an orange hat or helmet. They seem to both be black and orange in my book. To be honest, except for ten years of the Astros' history, every team has had orange as a secondary color.By the way, while the black muddled the Mets look, and looked just plain bizarre for the Islanders, when it comes to Orange/Blue/White/Black, I thought the Knicks got it perfect. Black was used only as an accent color, with the other colors allowed to interplay within its borders sans interference from the black. I was actually sad to see if go for them. And as for the Mets payroll, the Wilpons are jokes who refuse to put out any money. They play in one of the biggest baseball markets in the country, but they won't put out the big money for the parts they need and handcuff their GM's despite year after year of promises to "do what needs be done."

Unless I missed some crappy '70s jersey, the Giants have never used orange text outlined in black, while the Orioles pretty much always have. The Orioles also used an orange-billed cap for most of their history. I agree that the Giants are black/orange and the Orioles are orange/black for the most part. The Giants made a huge mistake bringing in the orange-billed cap just because it replaces a perfect cap. t I have always felt that their orange jersey, aside from looking bad, stepped on the Orioles' feet (even if the Orioles didn't have an orange jersey at that time). If the Giants wanted an alternate, they should have made a black jersey, ideally without black text. Instead, we now have two crappy orange Giants alts.

However, they have mirrored the Knicks in that they have thrown good money at bad players and largely been a disaster. Spending money wasn't the problem, spending it wisely was. And seeing the contract they just gave to Curtis Granderson, they haven't learned anything.Besides, money isn't really an excuse when the Rays and A's routinely field playoff-caliber teams with little-to-no fanbases and crappy ballparks.

daveindc Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 While I prefer the Mets using blue and orange over any use of black, in my opinion the road set didn't look that bad. Is it just me, or did the blue part of the black/blue helmet have a different sheen to it than the regular blue helmets? Same with the black/purple helmet that the Rockies used to wear.

hormone Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm sorry, but I have to digress on the $ argument. Being a Rays/Pirates fan, I can see how one team can just make your organization a AAAA team...whether you use that to re-stock your team (Rays) or to be cheap asses (Pirates). I give the GMs of those teams the most credit. They know that any day now, you'll be giving away David Price for a few other guys and a team like Detroit, NYY, Boston, LAA, or LAD will double his paycheck. For every one or two years of overachieving teams like the A's or Rays, there are plenty of dynasty Yankee squads that have been purchased. Not the way EVERY year, but more than not.As to get back on topic...I like the Mets without black. I think that as an accent, it was OK, but like most BFBS, it became the primary color which it shouldn't be. I like them in both white and pinstripes. I like them in blue. Heck, I liked the Los Mets (minus LOS) in orange as well. Those should be your alts and not black and not camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Rockies have adopted the sparkly painted helmet which was meant to match the purple/black version, instead of a normal purple helmet. Kind of annoying that they're sticking with this permanently when it was just a fad that came and went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every one or two years of overachieving teams like the A's or Rays, there are plenty of dynasty Yankee squads that have been purchased. Not the way EVERY year, but more than not.I'm not saying that everybody should regularly win championships no matter what their payroll is, just that money isn't the end-all, be-all that it seemed to be 10-15 years ago. The Rays very may well have to punt on a few seasons to get value out of trading a few top guys, but they can still compete with (and top) the Yankees despite having a terrible payroll because they are a well-run organization. You can't build a dynasty on a budget, but you can make the playoffs and win a title. The biggest problem is that the teams with tiny payrolls have no margin of error. They can't miss on a top draft pick. If they sign a 2nd tier free agent (because they would never sign a top guy) who happens to be a disaster, it pretty much decimates the franchise for the length of that contract. They can't sign someone else and platoon a $13 million player like the Yankees could. If the Rays had went all-out and somehow signed Mark Texiera, they'd be enormously :censored:ed right now.Besides, I was saying that in response to the idea that the Mets suck because they have no money to spend (which they obviously still have some to waste). If the Mets put together a good young team, they could lock those players up much more easily than the Rays could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 As for pinstripes vs solid whites, I think they both look good. I could get behind using the solid whites, as pinstripes are the Yankees' territory. However, the Mets wore pinstripes for 30-something years before ever getting plain whites, and won two world championships in that span. Even if they do look better without pinstripes, I don't think it's right to just flush away history like that. Tom Seaver and Daryl Strawberry still look "right" wearing Mets pinstripes. If I had to pick one, I think I'd have them stick with the pinstripes over the solids.But yes, lose the Los Panderers, lose the camos, and lose the orange-billed cap. Then limit the blue alts to once a week. The Mets looked like a festering anus for too long to mess up their return to looking like the Mets by wearing random crap they shouldn't be wearing.

aawagner011 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The Mets will always be a pinstriped team to me and their snow whites look bland to me...almost like they are incomplete. I don't think it matters the Yankees wear pinstripes because the two unis give off entirely different vibes. One is simplistic with a single color and has a dark tone to it. The other is bright with vibrant colors and a large wordmark across the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
