Since the talk of the week seems to be about uniforms…

DyHrdMET is one of the regulars around here…and following the suggestion from Metsblog that everyone where blue to games for now on…he sent over this pic and this note:

What does everyone think?  What if Charlie Samuels dressed the Mets in these as opposed to the horrible black uniforms?

What does everyone think about this cap from Fitted Hawaii?

I think it looks better than the blue/black hybrids that Charlie Samuels favors..the white NY pops better than the orange.   Fitted Hawaii has lined the NY with purple, which wouldn’t make sense for the on-field club, but as a civilian in a cap you could do worse.   Nice cap.

From Mets.com:  Get to Citi Field this Saturday afternoon at 1:10pm as the Mets host Peanuts 60-year celebration when the Mets play the Houston Astros. The first 25,000 fans attending the game will receive a Mets trick-or-treat bag, courtesty of Peanuts.

Also apparently there is a reggae concert at Citi Field this Saturday:

jmp has left a new comment on your post “Adam Rubin: Off-White Retro Home Uniforms for New…“:

The original Mets home uniforms were white with blue pinstripes.

The big thing is that those who complain that the Mets honor the Dodgers to the exclusion of the Giants can’t really make too much noise about a cream colored home uniform… 

To the best of my knowledge, the cream wasn’t worn by the New York Giants, although it is worn by the SF Giants.


Using your logic, the black on Mets uniforms would be an homage to the NY Giants on the 1950’s.


I would actually be less bothered by a black and orange hat than I would by the hybrids.  


Out of curiosity, take a look at the links in this post where someone de-blued a Mets uniform. (And everyone bookmark uniwatch.)


Here’s an article I wrote from earlier this summer with some uniform suggestions for the NYM’s.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post “New York Mets Uniform Survey Part 2“:

The black just flat out doesn’t look good. It looks ghetto, low-rent, trailer park, 1998 expansions. Of all the expansion teams to enter baseball, the Mets were the only franchise that actually came up with a uniform that stood the test of time — basically unchanged from 1965 to 1978, as the Senators/Rangers, Colts/Astros, Angels, Royals, Padres, Expos, Royals and Brewers/Pilots changed looks and logos every five years or so. That Mets uni stands up against those of the Cubs, Red Sox, Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers or any other “classic” team. Ever notice how many expansion teams use pinstripes with team names on the front and a logo patch on the sleeve? Where’d they get that idea?

The black uniforms look like something the Diamondbacks, Devil Rays, Marlins or Rockies would have trotted out in the ’90s. Dated as the ’80sracing stripes. There’s a reason why the D’Backs and Rays abandoned those designs for something more traditional, and why the Marlins are redesigning when they move to Miami. But some posters would prefer to look like a low-rent ’90s expansion team than a classic ballclub.

We’re always picking up new readers, and it occured to me that you may not have seen the uniform survey sent out by the Mets earlier this year.    So for your convenience, here it is.  Interestingly “cream” uniforms weren’t part of the survey.

Page 2 asks which hat do you like better?

The next section of the survey is all about uniform choices.

I pick neither black.

Here I went traditional, although the one on the left is fine.

This is interesting.  It doesn’t come across well here, but on the survey the one on the right looks charcoal-ish.  You may recall there was a rumor of charcoal uniforms over the spring.   These also unfortunately have black shading.   Vote left.

Since we are not the Denver Broncos I picked neither.   Either of these are better than black, but underarm colors remind me of warm up jerseys.

I went right.

16.  Should the Mets name the bridge in Center Field at Citi Field?  Yes/No/No opinion.

I find that question interesting because that too has been a topic on the blogs.   This really makes me think that the Mets are paying attention to the fans.  Maybe all this stuff works?

I assume the quiz would branch off, here – I answered yes and got the next question:

17.  What do you think the bridge should be named?

a)  Amazin’ Alley (wow thats awful)

b) Casey’s Crossing (corny)

c)  Gil Hodges Bridge (I like the idea but there already is a Gil Hodgers bridge)

d)  Miracle Mile Bridge (are they opening some strip malls?)

e)  Piazza Path (let’s calm down with the Piazza thing, and I’d be afraid of this because, well, deep down you know)

f)  Seaver Bridge (sure)

g) Ya Gotta Believe Bridge (what, no option for Catch The Rising Stars Bridge?)

h)  Other

I went with Seaver.

18.  Do you have any other comments regarding the Mets uniforms and/or Citi Field?

Y’all can imagine what I mentioned (nicely).
