Howie is in the middle of another black uniform rant.
He was talking about how nice the uniforms look, and said the cream color with the blue would be a nice basis for any potential redesign. I’ve (me, Shannon not Howie) found fans like this weekend’s look, even with the non-modern NY.
Howie then started talking about some website – I will assume it was Uni Watch but my iphone buffered and I lost it – and suggested they mock up these throwbacks with a traditional Mets script on front. If anyone is good at photoshop and wants to try it I will post it.
He also said that this would be the last time they wear them. I wonder if they are wearing them Monday – I wanted to wear my NY Giants jersey when I head out there tomorrow.
So I started typing fast and furiously and the below is a big-time paraphrase of what Howie said. He was talking about the uniforms, the cream and how the Mets redesign should eliminate any and all black….now here’s the paraphrase as I typed:
…based upon what the fans have told them (the Mets), they need to honor their tradition and its a tradition worth honoring.
Look at the teams (I missed the exact list but it was at least the Yankees and Cardinals, possibly Giants and Dodgers)…they dont change colors every year.
The Mets would be well suited to follow their lead, personally speaking…
Amen Howie. It’s so nice to have a fan in the booth.
I will post lots of pictures of the throwbacks in a few days. There’s too many pictures on the main page right now and I don’t want to slow down the site further.
If someone wants to take a crack at the photoshop idea…

I am not sure if I like the HUGE NY on the front of the uni's but the cream does look good. Cream with the blue and orange would look cool. A real historic look even if it is not from the Mets past. I would put a little more orange in the uni's. I like the old lettering. Get rid of the black. I like when the Mets wear pinstripes but with the cream, I would get rid of it. I think the Mets have bagged it because they don't want the Yankees look. I like the cream look of the Giants Uni's. Maybe orange Mets lettering with blue backing across cream jersey's with the blue and orange hat.
I'd be interested in seeing what those jerseys would look like with the standard Mets' "N" and "Y" on them instead of that clunky wide font.
yea bring the cream color look to the Mets and get rid of those horrid black jerseys…the color black isnt the Mets!!
