Steve is a first-time/long-time who dropped me a note yesterday saying, ” I have noticed all the authentic jerseys (except the black alternate) are on clearance at the Mets.com/shop. I suspect that this means the black is going to be dropped from all three other jerseys. I’m even more excited now.”
Let’s take a look..(either click on them or trust me)
Hmmm…..
White pinless. Discounted.
Cream retros. Discounted.
Black. Regular Price.
Los Mets. Regular Price.
…
Here’s one man’s speculation on what’s coming. Total speculation, I know nothing at all and I’m just a fat dummy from the upper deck….but it’s fun to guess.
I imagine we’ll see “1962” Pinstripes as the primary in 2012. I think the pinless will stay in rotation in the opposite ratios we see now (maybe Kevin Kierst lays out the pinless once a week or so.) However both the 1962’s and the pinless will be dropshadowless. (Thus the Mets get me to buy two new jerseys. Well played David, well played.)
I bet we see black but it gets banished to the road. Maybe we’ll see nice dropshadowless road jerseys…thus Dave gets another $100 out of me (well played Dave, well played.)
And maybe we’ll also get blues…and Dave gets yet another $100 out of me. (Imaginary Dave laughs at the sky how he has beat me at my own game)
Looking ahead to 2013…say there’s an All Star Game. I’ll have to get a Mets themed National jersey. That’s ANOTHER $100. And of course there will be all star patches…so maybe I buy one more something with an All Star patch on it. Another $100.
…
What this means to you:
Probably not a bad idea to grab a cream retro so in 10 years you’re not wishing you had a cream retro. Grab a Beltran or a just-in-case Reyes so you’re kinda interesting in 10 years….or go wacky and get like a Thole.
Believe me the 10 years thing is real. How many of you secretly wish you had a Mercury Mets jersey or even a swoosh…or one of those swoosh roads. Things get interesting with age. I’d kill for a 1978 road Mazzilli pullover.
