Here’s what the Mets’ new uniforms will look like, courtesy of Matt Cerrone:
Color me underwhelmed. If they are going to go old-school, why include the black dropshadow, as Cerrone points out?
Also, and moreover, I’m just not a huge fan of making new things intended to look old.
And why choose to honor one era in the team’s history over another? Would it have been similarly “retro” if the Mets went with their 1986 racing stripes or the ridiculous white hats they briefly busted out in the mid-90s?
For that matter, how about a throwback Mercury Mets jersey to celebrate that one magical day?
I like the pinstripes, though. Pinstripes are still cool.
It kinda looks like the pinstripes were drawn on with crayon.
I dont think any team should ever revive thier 1980′s uniforms. The 80′s, while awesome in many regards, was not known for many styles that I’d ever want to see brought back, especially in the baseball uniform department.
Wow, I think I’ve blocked white hats out of my memory completely.
i will always be vehemently any uniforms of the mets that incorporates any black into the color scheme.
im sorry but i hate it and it looks bad. oooh it makes me so mad!
