NBCnewyork.com’s Commentary On 2010 New York Mets Uniforms

Some good stuff here on NBCNewYork about the uniform change, including a link to a color photo of vintage Seaver.  Nothing new, but the spin is that once again the Mets tried to get something right and failed.

Why oh why would they keep the black shading?

ESPN Confirms Bobby Valentine Hire: Will Be on 1050 And ESPN New York Website

Wow busy week in Mets news…..

Looks like we can forget about hoping we get V as manager in 2010.   Also, this is the first official mention of an “ESPN New York” website that I’ve seen.  Been speculation up until now.

ESPN has been doing very well with local sports websites in Chicago, Boston and now Dallas.

From Espn.com

Valentine, who previously worked for ESPN in 2003, will take on expanded duties in 2010. He will appear on “Baseball Tonight” and 1050 ESPN Radio in New York, and contribute to ESPNNewYork.com, the local ESPN sports site that launches next year.

Jay Horwitz Has No Comment On Details Of 2010 New York Mets Uniforms

From mets.com

Though Jay Horwitz, Mets vice president of media relations, wouldn’t detail how the club would alter its home uniforms, the New York Post reported on Tuesday that the alterations could include a departure from the pinstripes that have been a part of the home whites since the team’s 1962 inception.

Metsblog Story On The 2010 New York Mets Uniforms

Metsblog reports on the uniform story…..News: Mets and Egg-Shell, Pinstripes Uniform…but I think they actually have part of it incorrect by saying the retros will not have black.   I hope Cerrone is right in the end, but I will trust Paul Lukas and Uniwatch on this one – Paul emailed me that the retros will indeed have dropshadow.

The Mets Police compilation of information, while poorly written, is here.

What a great time to get rid of the black.  What possible reason could they have for keeping it?  if the idea is to sell merchandise then why not introduce something completely different like a blue jersey?

Adam Rubin: Off-White Retro Home Uniforms for New York Mets in 2010 (updated)

UPDATED AGAIN:

From UniWatch:



The 2010 Mets uni info buried in the middle of this report is accurate. The related but slightly different report that ran in yesterday’s N.Y. Post is NOT accurate.

Uniwatch is as good a source as we’ll get.   So, what does everyone think?

EVEN MORE UPDATED:  Paul from Uniwatch was quick to respond to an email about “black”.  The “retros” do indeed have the drop shadow black.  Now we can call the Mets idiots all day.

Below is what I had posted earlier this morning, some of which is now irrelavant.

______________________________________________________

From what I am gathering from what Rubin says in today’s News  and what Hubbuch said yesterday (scroll
down the site), the Mets home uniforms for 2010 will be:

Primary: white no pinstripes. The ones they wore most of the time
this season.

Alternate: an off-white pinstriped version like what was worn by the
1969 Mets at the celebration.

No word yet on how much black if any.  (as I wrote in the update – the retros have black.  The roads will be the same)

My take: I like how the retros looked. I’m happy. Will be happier if
the black leaves. (it isn’t).  I prefer the pinstripes to the no-pins but I have
warmed up to the no-pins especially on civilians.

Stay tuned…

UPDATED:
Here is what Rubin said:

The Mets plan to go retro with their pinstriped home uniforms next season. Those uniforms will change to off-white, as they were in the 1960s, from their current bright white. That will also serve to differentiate the pinstriped uniforms from the solid home uniforms, which will remain the brighter white.

The debate now becomes is whether or not the uniforms were actually off-white in the 1960’s.

This is what the 2009 Giants are wearing…looks creamier than the above.

This is from 2007….the “snow white”
