Sayeth Cerrone:

The Mets have officially announced the addition of a new pinstripe home uniform for next season.

According to the press release:

“The design combines new and old elements of Mets uniforms. The Mets created the retro uniform following research and positive responses to the jerseys the 1969 World Champion Mets wore during their 40th anniversary celebration in August…

“The natural color and pinstripes were staples of the original Mets uniform when the team debuted in 1962. The Mets will also continue to wear their white uniform at home with the black jerseys as an alternate.”

The new jersey will go on sale this Friday at the Mets Team Store at Citi Field, on Mets.com, all Modell’s Sporting Goods stores; and the team Clubhouse stores at the Roosevelt Field Mall and on 42nd Street.

"Say, I recall those uniforms they wore on Old Timers Night last year. They were far more attractive than these."

I swear I'd love to accept some piece of news from the Mets as an unalloyed positive development, but now I'm wondering again why the Mets didn't dress like that on some semi-regular basis in 2009, which was the 40th anniversary of 1969 -- or even once, the night the '69ers were there. Hell, wear 'em "as was" this year, the 40th anniversary of the title defense, maybe without the MLB patch. They manufactured them, they replicated them, they succeeded beautifully and then they threw them in a closet again.

I'm trying to see how those differ so greatly from last year's pinstripes. I know they say the color is "natural", but that pic makes it look nothing close to the beautiful cream-colored tops the 69'ers wore.

And if these uniforms are so worth rising early for on Friday morning to score murky discounts on (it's like Gold/Silver pricing in November), then how come the Mets didn't do a fashion show a la the Twins and other teams who've introduced new looks? Keep Omar the bleep away from it lest he attempt to answer a question, but get one of those Bravo hosts to emcee. Fly in Francoeur or Pagan or whoever. Make a hot stove day of it. I don't know that they're not planning that for later on, but if you anticipate this as your big sales weekend, why not now?

I would guess that the Mets intended to do such a show but couldn't pull it off in time for sales programs that were already revved for "Black Friday." It's odd that word leaked that the new unis would be revealed on Nov 27 only for the Mets to acknowledge they would show them in December instead. I'm sure the Mets let Fritz Modell have the final say.

Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here

Because whenever I see black drop shadows on a Met uniform, the first thing I think of are the '69 Mets. Yeah right, Fred. Whatever you say. I hope the Mets thought to issue cream colored pants to match these new alternates.

In other news, the Mets announced that they will be retaining their wildly popular black home and road jerseys. According to the Mets super secret fan poll that no one but Fred Wilpon is allowed to audit, Met fans voted the black top jerseys as their favorite Met uniforms of all time. "And they make the perfect tribute to the 1969 season", said Wilpon, noting that the black jerseys evoke instant memories of black cats and black shoe polish.

Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here

Like I've mentioned before, I don't like the pinstripe jersey, and I really won't like it now that it's cream-colored. Retro uniforms are fun as a special event, but I don't see the point in wearing them regularly.

But I do agree that if you are going to do a retro-jersey, make it look like the actual jersey. The drop shadow there is pretty dumb.

And I know no one here thinks so, but the black uniforms are popular. They remain one of the best-sellers, which is why they are still around. I've said before, I don't mind them. I don't mind the drop-shadow either.

I wouldn't miss the black uniforms if they were gone. They don't offend me either. I prefer home whites and road grays, sans drop shadows.

What bothers me more is that they are wearing road uniforms that say "METS" on them instead of "New York." Call me old school but I think the road uniform should show the name of the city/state the team represents.

I have no evidence to back this up, but I have long believed the "best-seller" aspect of the black Mets merchandise is more due to a flooding of the market. Especially in the early part of this decade black stuff was everywhere. If you wanted something for your kid, it had to be black. It seems to me that's changed a bit in recent years, but I remember infuriating trips to the Mets store in Manhattan where I could not find a decent shirt in white or blue for my kids.

Also, if you are going to have a cream-colored retro jersey, you better have cream-colored retro pants. Ones that stop just below the knee showing your glorious blue stirrups. All blue hat. No orange dot.

I'm with FMan. Away jerseys should say New York.

Unis in my order of preference:

Home White
Away Gray
Home Black
Away Black (with NY on the front)
Pinstripe Home
Pinstripe Home Retro
Racing Stripes
Mercury Mets

On Edit: And to be clear, since there is a lot of negativity in this thread, I really like the home whites and away grays. In fact, I wouldn't change a thing about them. To me, they are the best two jerseys in baseball.

Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here

I think the snow whites are nice uniforms, but when I picture Mets in my mind, I picture the pinstripes. I see Seaver and Koosman and Mays and Grote and Stearns and Hundley and Roger Craig and Rusty and Nino Espinosa and they're all wearing the pinstripes.

That said, I own a black Santana home jersey with the Shea patch and a black Ventura road jersey. I found them on eBay for prices I couldn't pass up while looking for pinstripe jerseys. I don't hate the black because I don't hate anything about the Mets except for events in and around June 15, 1977. But I like the pinstripes better.

If I ran the team, the pinstripes would be the main uniforms and the snow whites would be the alts.

I do have a Mercury Mets jersey, just because it's fun.

No NOB, and it was a while ago. It was a good buy, around $30 I think. It was a couple years after the game, before they kind of took on a cult status. Got the cap from Starstruck, and that was on clearance.

Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here

Sometimes good ideas aren't obvious until they're obvious.

Somtimes bad ideas also.

I don't know. I don't think anybody ever thought of the Mets of the sixties wearing a different color of "white" until the the cruel and bitter final day of 2008. That happened because of (1) someone having the good idea of dressing the returning Mets in the uniforms from the various players' eras, which I never saw them do before with returning retirees, and (2) someone (else?) having the good idea of saying, "You know, back in the flannel days "white" wasn't white as we think of it today. Let me try something. It'll make the oldest players' clothing different from the newest players, instead of having sameness at the beginning and end with an ugly sandwich of the seventies and eighties in between."

They (1) did something creative, and (2) listened to people. Yeah, it worked at the end of 2008, so they should have gotten their act together in 2009. Yeah, these don't seem to match very as well as you might have hoped for. (Some folks disagree.) But you wouldn't have a clue that did these things "wrong" if they hadn't done something right --- something not a one of us had been clamoring for. It's the Credit-Where-Due Department.

At a Yankees Shop, Buzz; At a Mets Store, a Hush

By KEN BELSON

It was a tale of two Black Fridays for New York’s baseball teams.

The Yankees Clubhouse on 42nd Street, still basking in the glow of the team’s 27th World Series championship, was flooded with customers elbowing through racks of commemorative T-shirts, hats and jackets. Pedestrians stopped to snap photographs of the storefront.

Two blocks east, the Mets Clubhouse hosted a handful of passers-by who gazed at the rows of jerseys and sweatshirts, many 50 percent off. The store seemed to be as quiet as Shea Stadium was after Carlos Beltran looked at Adam Wainwright’s called third strike to end the 2006 season.

The retail foot traffic largely mirrored the team’s on-field performances this year. The Yankees added another piece of armor to their gold-plated reputation as winners. The Mets sank in the standings early before fading into comical irrelevance.

The stores on 42nd Street were yet more evidence that winning sells.

Aoi Niwa, for instance, breezily spent $203 on a World Series hat, T-shirt and sweatshirt at the Yankees Clubhouse. Her father in Japan is a big fan of Hideki Matsui, she said. During their last phone conversation, he asked Niwa to pick up some items to commemorate the team’s championship and Matsui’s World Series Most Valuable Player award.

“It’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it,” said Niwa, who lives in Portland, Ore., and was visiting a friend in New York for Thanksgiving.

Across the street at Modell’s, the front of the store was wall-to-wall Yankees merchandise. Jeter replica jerseys were being sold for $120, Yankee fleece jackets for $60 and sweatshirts for $55. Yankee hats with the World Series logo were $36.

It is hard to gauge the success of an entire shopping season on one day’s foot traffic. But Peter Augustine, the president of New Era Cap, the market leader in baseball caps, said that he expected sales to be unchanged this holiday season compared with last year despite the victory by the Yankees, the No. 1 selling team.

“While the Yankees always outsell the Mets, their win did not provide the kind of bump in sales that we would normally expect,” he said. “We blame that on the recession.”

Of course, that has not stopped teams like the Mets and the Yankees from introducing merchandise. The Mets, for instance, unveiled new retro jerseys Friday, ones similar to those worn by the players on the 1969 championship team wore.

The home uniform tops, which the players will wear next season, include pinstripes against a light cream background, similar to those the team wore starting in 1962, when the Mets set a modern-day record for losses in a season.

There were no signs, however, to announce the arrival of the new uniform tops lined up against the wall at the Mets Clubhouse store. The jerseys, which have embroidered lettering and are made with a finer material, cost $266, nearly three times the cost of other replica jerseys.

The retro jerseys sparked a debate among fans on various Mets-related blogs. Some thought the team should focus more on improving the team and less on marketing. Others thought that the jerseys were an effort to make fans feel good just as they receive their season-ticket renewal notices.

In any case, $266 was too pricey for Ben Testa, a Mets fan who stopped in the store on his way to work. Testa asked an employee how many of the new jerseys he had sold so far. None, he was told, as of midafternoon Friday.

Testa said he might have bought a jersey if it were less expensive, but said he was not in the mood to spend a lot on the Mets anyway. He was annoyed by the team’s performance the past three seasons and planned to give up his season tickets, which he has had since 1985.

The jerseys are “all about marketing,” he said.

“It’s no coincidence that they came out on Black Friday,” Testa said. “They know they’re going to take a hit with ticket renewals.”


FYI, mets.com lists new replica alternate jersey for $79.99. Don't know if the difference is a matter of name or customization or what. I'd think embroidered lettering would be worth two hundred smackers alone.
