One thing that strikes me as I watch games at Yankee Stadium is that everyone is dressed the same. If you’re a Yankees fan you know what to wear. Gran a Yankees cap and on a night like last night you grab your Yankees jacket. They are all the same color. Looks nice. Everyone in a group.
Over in Flushing we’re a mishmosh. You have the crusty old guys from the 80’s or before who will only wear blue jackets, hats or sweatshirts (I treasure the blue sweatshirt I found at Modell’s last spring – no black).
Then there’s all these Mike Piazza-era kids who only know about Bobby Valentine and black uniforms. Even as a group they don’t know how to dress. Do they wear the blue jacket with the black sleeves? The all black? Which cap goes with what. It’s a mess.
Can we just get back to wearing blue? Once again I offer “the Treaty of Flushing” – I will meet the Mets half-way. They wear blue hats and white tops and I won’t whine that the tops don’t have pinstripes. Paint the fence while you’re at it.
