What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
The Supreme Commander of Allied Forces To Ditch The Black, Paul Lukas on Uni Watch has the story of the first Mets uniform, who wore it, how it came to be, and even a link to the 1962 prototype “swoosh” jersey (as Osh41 calls it).
Most importantly, the Mets got the uniform right in 1962 and 1962 + 50 = 2012 in case anyone in marketing needs any ideas for next season.
I’ll be over at the BJ’s Clubhouse looking for David Cone if you need me.
Seems that Formerly Mr. Met’s Landing has a sponsor. Anyone who refers to it as this will be kicked out of the Lee Mazzilli Fan Club.
Media Goon noticed that the Mets invited people (via email) to buy tickets for Opening Weekend, so I thought I’d click the link.
I started with the least expensive seats for Opening Day, the Promenade, which are an outrageous $42 by the way. Do you think I got in?
Kids,
There’s stuff we don’t like to talk about, like the Mets letting Seaver go after 1983. The awesome Uni Watch tells you about the quirky jerseys Tom wound up wearing. Definitely worth a read
The Sox wore it to a division championship in 1983, and Tom Seaver won his 300th game while wearing it in 1985.
via Uni Watch looks back at the White Sox fan-designed uniforms of the ’80s – ESPN.
To understand all this you have to be able to understand this video. Listen to the love.
