Number 14? Really? When I was at the game on Saturday, I noticed that the ballboy (and presumably the batboys) had BB on their backs instead of 14, which makes sense. At what point did they stop wearing the current year on their uniforms?

Move over San Diego! The Mets are stealing your idea!

As someone on Twitter mentioned, it's a good night to give Josh & Howie a try.

Is something going on that will make the TV booth unappealing, or is it just the prospect of the misbegotten unis?

d'Kong76 Apr 21 2014 10:11 AM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

I imagine it's just the unis.

TransMonk Apr 21 2014 11:23 AM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

It's the unis.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 21 2014 11:24 AM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

unis, yup

I guess I didn't realize the hats would be camo, too. Wow.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2014 10:39 AM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

Helmets, blessedly, remained royal.

Ugliest uniforms in baseball featured on the ugliest scoreboard in baseball: [fimg=844:3g7ry3eu]http://www.uni-watch.com/wp-content/uploads/photo112.jpg[/fimg:3g7ry3eu]

The Padres have equally ugly uniforms. In fact, a lot of teams are doing the ugly-camo thing.

Did the Mets shrink the scoreboard portion of the scoreboard this season? Not enough ad space, I suppose. [fimg=855:1bwe9s1m]http://www.uni-watch.com/wp-content/uploads/photo112.jpg[/fimg:1bwe9s1m]

Ceetar Apr 22 2014 12:05 PM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

no.

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 22 2014 12:38 PM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

I guess I don't mind the scoreboard and the uniforms, either. I do think one could debate whether the Jackie Robinson tribute night uniforms count as a separate uniform.

It's the same uniform. I object to the concept of the camo uniforms more than the look of it. If you're going to start doing non-baseball type stuff like that, then I want to see a Spiderman themed uniform or something. Or bring back silly Mercury Mets type ideas.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 22 2014 01:02 PM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

Definitely. It's much more important to honor fictional characters than military veterans.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2014 01:06 PM Re: Tonight is Military Monday

A Spider-Dude-themed uniform brings advertising onto the uni in a distinctly new way that brings us across the Rubicon. It's only a matter of time before they are the Sanyo Mets. I'd like to stay that execution as long as possible.

I'd like to stay that execution as long as possible. yeah, maybe not clearly sponsorship ones. Maybe. I dunno, some of the silly stuff minor league teams seem fun. I know no one gets up in arms at that stuff because it's minor league ball, but it is a game after all. but the Mercury Mets (brought to you by Ford) Robot Mets. etc. Have some fun with it.
