Mets unveil new old unis
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.
