Got a bunch of comments on black Mets uniforms today. Glad to see I’m not alone.
- I can’t stand those black uniforms. The classic blue with pinstripes should be worn every home game. Can we start a petition or something???
- The black UNIs look EXACTLY that bad – completely expansion team. Plus they’re bad karma.
- *wear the gray with NEW YORK with the blue cap on the road
- mets are 1-2 (now 1-3) when wearing black…. if they win tonight with grey on i swear… when they wear black its bad luck
- Please get rid of those hideous black uniforms and caps!!! They should wear the gray with NEW YORK with the blue cap at home, and pinstripes with the blue cap at home!!! Only good thing about last night is at least they did not wear the stupid two tone blue and black batting helmet which is a disaster! Come on Mets you have til the end of May to submit new uniforms for next year, get on it Wilpons!
and one vote for
- Whats the big deal about the black Uni? They dont look bad. Just something else to complain about as a Mets fan ;-/
Howie Rose hates them, Mets Blog hates them, fans hate them….why do these exist?

I couldn’t agree more–I HATE the black uniforms.
I’m also not too crazy about the snow whites either. And it’s not that I’m one of those jerks who doesn’t think anything new can be good, but the pinstripes are the Mets best uniform, no question. They also need to lose the black socks/sleeves and the 2-color batting helmet. Your team colors are blue and orange–wear them.
I think black can be incorporated while staying very true to the tradition of being the Mets representing National League baseball fans in NY, who came to the Mets from the Dodgers and Giants. However, it should be done tastefully, without all the drop shadows and outlines. They should do less with more. Black hat, blue bill, orange NY, no pinstripes, no drop shadows, no stripes of any kind, Mets in blue, numbers in black or orange, no outlines, … keeping it simple. They'd also do well to keep their emblem on their left sleeve, and use a slightly darker shade of blue, and perhaps not so blinding a shade of orange.
I like the black uniforms! I love Howie but im tired of him knocking them on the air. I think they got rid of the wrong black uniform last seasion. They should have kept the road ones that said New York and probably ditched the home ones that say Mets. This years cream colored jerseys im not optimistic about. I would rather see them come out with some nice royal blue type jerseys!
