I openly hate the Los Mets jerseys. Â It looks dopey to have a tiny “Los” on the jersey (reminds me of Spinal Tap) and it makes no sense to wear a jersey that basically says “The Mets” and in the past I have observed that jerseys in the Mexican league don’t have “Los Tigres” they just say “Tigres.”
So what to do? Â Am I against having fun nights? Â Nope, but there’s a way to do it and last night the Knicks figured it out.
Once you’ve decided to let tradition go, free your mind. Â Instead of tiny Los jerseys, why not wear Nueva York at home? Â It will likely look really good on a road-style jersey. Â Even I won’t bug out if they wear the city name at home, it’s not a big deal for a one-off.
Just trying to help you Dave Howard.
Los Metropolitanas?
The name of the team is Mets. From the team website:
May 8, 1961 – New York’s National League club announces that the team nickname will be “Mets,” a natural shortening of the corporate name (“New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc.”)
So while you’re on the right track, I wouldn’t want to see that because it would open the door to the team becoming the Metropolitans.
