Spotted this in NYC. Â Isn’t it pretty? Â Nice blue and orange and no black. Â One point off for the ball-logo not having the NY. Â That’s not the umbrella’s fault. Â i still don’t understand why the NY was taken off that logo? Â Is it cheaper to make without it? Â Do the Mets think that people in NJ will rebel? Â I have no idea.
Back to tickets: I will have more pre-sale information in the morning.
that pic is pretty small…I’ll take your word for it though
gotta shrink em for bandwith, and hard to take closeups in NYC without explaining wtf you’re doing.
IIRC, the story with the NY on the logo was that it was simply deemed unnecessary. That it didn’t match the cap insignia bugged the people who make such decisions, and rather than change it, it was dropped altogether. Most uses of the logo are so small (apparel, newspaper & magazine articles, baseball cards, etc.) getting a clear rendering of the NY was difficult anyway. It spent most of its existence as nothing more than an orange smudge.
If you look at other logos around sports since the early 90s, you’ll see the trend is to reduce nit-picky details and go for a more streamlined look. A great example is the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, who kept the basic graphic of a fish jumping through a hoop, but simplified it considerably:

that all makes sense. i like it on a bigger one, but i’m ok with any plan that’s actually thought out.
If Mets really did the throwback uniform right this year, should they have the orange button on hats be changed back to blue?
The NY was really tight in the logo. Ever do the meaning of the logo with all the actual buildings the logo represents?
