Who should sponsor the Mets?

[Edgy MD]

USA Today describes the initial fan reaction as ... negative.

[Lefty Specialist]

If it was half that size, it'd be at least tolerable. And what about companies who don't have a circular logo?

Also, would this logo also appear on team store stuff? If so, I might want to get a jersey this year rather than next.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I don't like the idea of advertising on baseball unis, but if I was a Padres fan and in the market for a 2023 Padres jersey next year, I'd get the one with the Motorola patch. I like my jerseys to look just like the ones the players wear, whenever possible.

Just my preference.

NewYork-Presbyterian is the sad answer to this question.

This is their logo so this will undoubtedly look fucking terrible, however it's presented.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Very disappointing that they did this. But it could have been a lot worse. Was hoping for Met Life, if they had to go down this path.

NYP is an amazing hospital/ healthcare system, one of NYC largest employers.... Anyway seems a bit odd considering HSS is where they send players ... I think Alex Cohen has ties to NYP

[batmagadanleadoff]

Maybe, but that uniform patch is so eff 'n jeff.

And just the other day, we were mocking Miami's ADT patch. I'll bet the Yankees don't get a sponsored uni patch.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yeah, the bright red is gonna be more distracting than the baby blue ADT the Marlins have. But I guess drawing the eyes is the point. It's going to harsh the uniform vibes sooooo much.

Teams have now been moving the club sleeve logo to the player's non-dominant arm so it's always facing front when they're batting (right-handed hitters have the sponsor patch on their left arm and lefties vice-versa). I wonder if the Mets will do the same. Maybe Lindor will wear NYP patch on both arms.

[Frayed Knot]

Isn't this going to be seen as discriminatory towards non-Presbyterians?

Really? I did not know that. So the same team will have its logo on both the right and left sleeves, depending on the player? Which teams did that?

Per Uniwatch:

To make matters worse, the positioning of the uniform ads will be non-uniform. In order to maximize TV exposure, some players will wear the ads on the left sleeve and others on the right, depending on whether they bat or pitch left-handed or right-handed. (Switch-hitters will apparently be issued two jerseys and wear the appropriate one based on the opposing team’s starting pitcher.)

[Frayed Knot]

The price for sponsor shoulder patches in tennis were always different for each side with the non-dominant shoulder, the one facing the camera during serves, being more expensive.

[metirish]

I noticed this in the Marlins series, the ADT was always seen on TV with the pitcher or the hitter ... EPL teams started doing this a few seasons back too

[G-Fafif]

Both the Mets and MFYs have played home games at the Polo Grounds, at Shea Stadium and at Citi Field. Now they both have a Hilltop Park connection.

I guess the logo can be rendered in a Met color or colors, but I would guess it won't.

Kinda stinks to have a nightly reminder of how we have commodified health care.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

If it's red I'm going to die. Also they better not eff up Lazy Mary but it looks like they want to

[Fman99]

These patches should all be spots to sell Ipecac because they make me wanna retch

[bmfc1]

If you can prove that you are a Presbyterian that lives in New York you get in free.

[A Boy Named Seo]

That is so so bad. I'm happy it's not red? But why can't it be a rectangle that just borders the stupid logo and not that huge square.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[metirish]

That looks awful, wow , epic fail

[Gwreck]

What is wrong with the people approving this?

How much revenue could this possibly generate such that they needed to desecrate the jerseys?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The price for these is something like a stadium naming rights deal, is what I was told.

It is awful and ugly

[batmagadanleadoff]

That patch -- on a Mets jersey -- is like Wilpons' Citi Field scoreboards level of ugly. Are the Yankees the only fucking team out there that knows how to name its stadium and what to with these sponsored uni patches? Jeez. What's the point of having 17 billion dollars if you're gonna tacky it up?

Are you saying what I think you’re saying?
