We’re always picking up new readers, and it occured to me that you may not have seen the uniform survey sent out by the Mets earlier this year. So for your convenience, here it is. Interestingly “cream” uniforms weren’t part of the survey.
1. How many tickets do you have and how do you rate youself as a fan (for example die-hard).
Page 2 asks which hat do you like better?
Page 3 asks which of these jerseys you prefer?
4. Do you think the Mets should wear the pinstripe (home) jersey more often? Yes/No/No opinion
5. How often should the Mets wear the pinstripe (home) jerseys?
a) All home games
b) saturday & Sunday home games
c) once per series
d) Sunday home games
e) no opinion
6. Do you think the Mets should wear the white (home) jersey more often? Yes/No/No opinion
7. Do you think the Mets should keep the black jersey? Yes/No/No opinion
8. Slide 8 is phrased really interestingly. I don’t know if it was positioned this way because I selected NO to #7. I have included a screen capture on the left but I doubt you can make it out.
Why do you think the Mets should not keep the black jersey?
a) Black is not one of the Mets colors
b) I don’t like the color black
c) Black is not part of the Mets history
d) It doesn’t look good on the field
e) It’s time for a change
f) Other (specify)
9. The next section will compare jerseys to see which you prefer – the one on the left, the one on the right, “I don’t like either one” or no opinion.
So for me, I don’t like the NY because its Yankee like but at least it isn’t black – devil’s choice but I stuck to my guns and said I don’t like either one.
The next section of the survey is all about uniform choices.
I pick neither black.
Here I went traditional, although the one on the left is fine.
This is interesting. It doesn’t come across well here, but on the survey the one on the right looks charcoal-ish. You may recall there was a rumor of charcoal uniforms over the spring. These also unfortunately have black shading. Vote left.
Since we are not the Denver Broncos I picked neither. Either of these are better than black, but underarm colors remind me of warm up jerseys.
I went right.
16. Should the Mets name the bridge in Center Field at Citi Field? Yes/No/No opinion.
I find that question interesting because that too has been a topic on the blogs. This really makes me think that the Mets are paying attention to the fans. Maybe all this stuff works?
I assume the quiz would branch off, here – I answered yes and got the next question:
17. What do you think the bridge should be named?
a) Amazin’ Alley (wow thats awful)
b) Casey’s Crossing (corny)
c) Gil Hodges Bridge (I like the idea but there already is a Gil Hodgers bridge)
d) Miracle Mile Bridge (are they opening some strip malls?)
e) Piazza Path (let’s calm down with the Piazza thing, and I’d be afraid of this because, well, deep down you know)
f) Seaver Bridge (sure)
g) Ya Gotta Believe Bridge (what, no option for Catch The Rising Stars Bridge?)
h) Other
I went with Seaver.
18. Do you have any other comments regarding the Mets uniforms and/or Citi Field?
Y’all can imagine what I mentioned (nicely).
