Aesthetically, the organization's seems committed to designing horses by committee.

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.

metirish Nov 24 2009 11:15 AM Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here |
What price range will these be, regular price not sale...$150-200+
|
A Boy Named Seo Nov 24 2009 11:31 AM Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here |
Was hoping that pic above maybe wasn't the real uni, since the Mets hadn't released a pic yet, but Bart from the Post says it's so.

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?

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.

Centerfield Nov 25 2009 09:10 AM 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.

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 actually like the black unis.

metirish Nov 25 2009 09:50 AM Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here |
Road grey is my favourite , really classic looking. I don't mind the black but I really dislike "Mets" on the road uni.It's like Samuels is saying FU and doing what he wants.

Frayed Knot Nov 25 2009 09:52 AM Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here |
Mercury Mets unis not only rank behind any combo of white, black, pinstripe, plus the various retros that pop up from time to time, but also trail Scottish kilts, bunny outfits, Payne Stewart-style golf knickers, and most of the combined wardrobes of Lady Ga-Ga, Amy Winehouse, and Bjork.

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.

The Mercury Mets were more NOS (Name on Side) than Name on Back.

Times breaks the story that front runners like to be associated with winners, not losers...and that the Mets are asking an absurd amount for "embroidered lettering" and "finer material".
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.

[quote="The Times"]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. |

And of course, this line: "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."
|
Frayed Knot Nov 29 2009 09:33 AM Re: The New Old Uniforms Are Here |
I wonder if the Snooze had to pay royalties to Wallace Mathews to use that line about Beltran and the bat on the shoulder?
