The Mets Police

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 Gotaa 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).

Some thoughts about the survey in a post later today, and if you missed Part 1 of the NY Mets Uniform Survey click here.

You guys rock.  Mega thanks to the guy who tipped me off to all this and sent me the survey (I thanked you via email!)   I’m going to break this up into many parts because Mets Police is also Daddy and needs to run out the door…and it takes a while to resize the pictures etc.   Here is part one…   I’ll include graphics where relevant and just give you the basic question where it is just text.

1.  How many tickets do you have and how do you rate youself as a fan (for example die-hard).

Page 2 asks which hat do you like better?

Page 3 asks which of these jerseys you prefer?

4.  Do you think the Mets should wear the pinstripe (home) jersey more often? Yes/No/No opinion

5.  How often should the Mets wear the pinstripe (home) jerseys?
a) All home games
b) saturday & Sunday home games
c) once per series
d) Sunday home games
e) no opinion

6.  Do you think the Mets should wear the white (home) jersey more often?  Yes/No/No opinion

7.  Do you think the Mets should keep the black jersey?  Yes/No/No opinion

8.  Slide 8 is phrased really interestingly.  I don’t know if it was positioned this way because I selected NO to #7.  I have included a screen capture on the left but I doubt you can make it out.

Why do you think the Mets should not keep the black jersey?
a)  Black is not one of the Mets colors
b)  I don’t like the color black
c)  Black is not part of the Mets history
d)  It doesn’t look good on the field
e)  It’s time for a change
f)  Other (specify)

9.  The next section will compare jerseys to see which you prefer – the one on the left, the one on the right, “I don’t like either one” or no opinion.


So for me, I don’t like the NY because its Yankee like but at least it isn’t black – devil’s choice but I stuck to my guns and said I don’t like either one.

The survey continues here.

Mets Police fans, today is a great day.   Mets Blog is reporting that….

The Mets just sent out an online survey via e-mail to a select group of fans, which asks a variety of questions about the current uniform scheme, including, “Which Mets game jersey is your favorite,” “Do you think the Mets should wear the pinstripes jersey more often,” and, “Why do you think the Mets should not keep the black jersey?”

Now that last question is phrased VERY interestingly  Maybe the Mets have been working on this on their own, maybe they read the blogs, maybe they actually read the Mets Police article Helping the Mets get rid of black uniforms. (The timing sure is interesting – we’ve been on the uni kick all week – but there are plenty of other places like Uni Watch who harp on this all the time).

Who knows?  If you took time to read the post, share it or comment about it – let’s all feel good.

Matt Cerrone, good guy who has been good to us, adds that they ask for feedback on a whole bunch of looks including presumably this image that Matt included in his article.

I don’t like the look on the left (the NY thing makes me think Yankee ripoff) but at least it is blue and orange – so I’ll take that over black if we can get it (and then keep it for 50 years).

I think it’s great that the Mets are asking the fans about this stuff.  If it turns out that y’all love black uniforms I will stop giving the Mets grief on this one.

Cerrone also mentions that the survey includes a question about what to name the Citi Field bridge.

I have not recieved the survey, but if anyone has and would be kind enough to pass it along – just use the [email protected] email address, and we’ll get it up here as soon as we can on a Little League weekend where it’s 75 and sunny.

I’m really excited they are doing this – there are lots of comments coming in about the uniforms and I’ll get those up over the weekend.

Here’s Cerrone’s Mets Blog Article  and here’s my thoughts on alternates.
