Look good, sell whatever

A good comment by Greg about Back on Black:

I think the problem with the Mets PR rep’s statement is it does not address the core issue which, if he was listening, he’d get a sense for. Casual fans want a more casual look. They want the real team gear, and they want something a little more casual than a wash of strips, pinstripes, outlines, dropshadows, and clashing colors. The ardent historic-conscious fan wants most of all for the franchise to respect itself, and not, pardon the term, whore itself out. So, having a home uni, an away uni, and a third uni, is about as much as hard core fans will approve of, and it’s enough to appease the casual fans too. (This isn’t hard to understand is it?) The people generally want some consistency. Home uni w home hat, ditto for away, ditto for alt uni.

Yep.  Look good on the field, sell whatever you want in the stores.

When I have more energy (writing this one Thursday night) I’ll walk everyone through the mess of Angels uniforms and how they now have a nice clean look I associate with winning baseball.
