Mets sporting hockey jerseys en route to Canada. Kick some ass, eh. Trying to upload pics from twitter unless someone can beat my Canuck kicking ass to it. http://metsonline.com/mets-in-hockey-je ... 7WMcIl5mc0

Nice to see Gee left 1993

The Second Spitter May 18 2012 01:59 AM Re: Hockey Night

So Wright wears a fictitious jersey, so as not to fragment his fan base. Brilliant thinking. These Mets travel-themed attire parties are pretty ridiculous. It would be like other teams getting dressed as Mobsters or Wall Street Suits each time they travel to New York. I'd hate to think what the Mets would have done if they had a regular season game in Japan. I have this image of Frank Francisco walking through Japanese customs wearing nothing but a Sumo diaper. And RA Dickey as a Kamikaze Pilot. And Jason Bay as a Seppuku-committing Ronin Bushido .....oh wait, wrong fantasy.

I never knew that the clubhouse floor at Citi paid hommage to the Shea neon baseball players.

HahnSolo May 18 2012 08:28 AM Re: Hockey Night

Jason Bay wins with the Whaler uni. Interesting that Johan went with a Minnesota Wild jersey. It's been five years since he pitched there.

Benjamin Grimm May 18 2012 09:21 AM Re: Hockey Night

I'm amazed at how many of these teams I've never even heard of. Nashville Predators? Minnesota Wild???

Mets – Willets Point May 18 2012 09:34 AM Re: Hockey Night

The Hartford Whalers logo is one of my favorites because of the way the negative space makes an H and the tail forms a W. I love the old Milwaukee Brewers logo for the same reason since the fingers and stitching of the glove form an M and the thumb, pocket and ball form a B. The Montreal Expos follows the same design principles since the stylized M has an "e" for Expos and "b" for baseball in it, but it never worked for me because it's too busy and looks like it reads "ello" more than anything else. Anyhow, they don't seem to design logos like this anymore which is too bad.

Frayed Knot May 18 2012 09:39 AM Re: Hockey Night

That Brewer logo was the one where both Gary & Keith admitted a few days ago that it took them years to figure out that there was an 'M' and a 'B' in the design for Milwaukee and Brewers The Expos logo always looked like it said ELB to me.

It looks too much like a glove and the b is to the left of the m so it's not readily obvious to me.

Edgy MD May 18 2012 10:13 AM Re: Hockey Night

I'm OK with the White Sox logo. It doesn't say much, but it has dignity. The other three, respectively, say to me: "This team features the illegitimate children of Ben Franklin!" "A mysterious and nefarious multi-national corporation has taken over the US Government!" "This team sucks so much, they make savages pause and laugh hysterically in the middle of their bloody raids!"

Ceetar May 18 2012 10:15 AM Re: Hockey Night

Edgy DC wrote: "This team features the illegitimate children of Ben Franklin!" if that was true Philly would promote the hell out of it. They'd probably bring back this logo. I kind of like it though.

Yes, craptacular logos like these: None of those logos feature designs made up of letters representing the name of the team. And yes they are craptacular. Perhaps if they'd made something clever with CWS, PP, WS or CI they would look a lot better.

Edgy MD May 18 2012 10:26 AM Re: Hockey Night

Well, many of the logos you reference are more insignia type logos --- the ones used on hats as opposed to the ones that appear on sleeves or shirt fronts or on-deck circles. (Though the elements overlap with many teams.) I have to say that, as far as hat insigniae go, this one always drove me bonkers, because the F and the fish have different geometric centers, so the hat never seemed to be on straight.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 18 2012 02:03 PM Re: Hockey Night

That Brewers logo is hideous for the amount of love it gets. Hideous I tell you! The Whalers logo is a classic. The Expos was very distinctive but never made sense to me.

Benjamin Grimm May 18 2012 02:14 PM Re: Hockey Night

Count me among those who have a hideous love for the Brewers logo. I spotted the MB in the glove immediately and I think the whole thing is awfully darn clever. Also, I've known for years that that Expos' elb is an M, but I still can't quite see it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 18 2012 02:17 PM Re: Hockey Night

I totally get that its a ball and glove and M and B, it's just ugly. The shape is odd, the font is weird, it has nothing to do with Milwaukee or Brewing.

G-Fafif May 18 2012 02:33 PM Re: Hockey Night

I certainly hope at least one Met represented the orange and blue. I'd settle for the reviled orange and blue (which I got a kick out of despite its unassailable ridiculousness).

soupcan May 18 2012 02:35 PM Re: Hockey Night

You know those posters that were semi-popular a few years back that you would have to cross your eyes, un-focus and stare at in order to see the 'hidden' picture? Yeah, well I could never see the picture. However the 'm' & 'b' in the Brewers logo and the 'M' in the Expos logo? I mean really? You guys can't see those? All of a sudden I don't feel so retarded anymore.

Preds. (Gifted by a friend, he said during yesterday's gamecast.) People between the ages of 25 and 30 seem to like the Mighty Ducks movies a LOT more than the rest of us.

G-Fafif May 18 2012 02:55 PM Re: Hockey Night

Only hockey jersey I've ever owned (and it wasn't easy to come by) was an Ottawa Senators road jersey -- no player name -- from the late 1990s when they still wore dark on the road. I had no interest in the Ottawa Senators per se except I just loved that damn thing. Then it didn't quite right and I had no problem discarding it. Kevin Kierst should consider the Senators in case Al Leiter ("Senator Al") or Elliott Maddox (one of the last active Washington Senators) rejoin the organization before the next trip to Toronto.

G-Fafif May 18 2012 06:56 PM Re: Hockey Night

Adam Rubin all over this momentum-killing team-bonding exercise: Collins bought 30 NHL jerseys and supplied them to many of the players, including Andres Torres, for the trip to Toronto. Because Torres was born in New Jersey, he was assigned a Devils jersey. The center fielder did not understand why he was getting taunted by so many people while out in public -- presumably Rangers fans. Collins said "traitor" chants were directed at Torres. "He didn't know anything about it," Collins said. "People are screaming at him." Johan Santana joked he ordered a Venezuelan national hockey team jersey but it never arrived. He represented the Minnesota Wild instead.

metirish May 18 2012 06:59 PM Re: Hockey Night

I just can't help but laugh at what Collins said right there......in my head he's screaming it or something.

Can picture Terry holding an emotional press conference to defend Torres's honor. It's my fault. I bought the jersey. Don't blame Andres. Andres can't help where he was born. Don't blame Kevin. Kevin's doing what he's supposed to do. It's on me, OK? Andres is no traitor. There are no traitors here. This area has three hockey teams, but it's not about hockey. It's about team. And it's my fault. You need to put someone in the penalty box, lock me in there. Anything else?

I saw Wright screaming in the dugout tonight. He was saying something about if anybody was going to be blamed, it should be him.
