Laurence checked in regarding the rumor that the Mets are considering removing the piping from the 2011 jerseys (and provided this mockup. Â Is everyone better at photoshop than I am?) Â Laurence says:
One way to avoid the inevitable Dodgers comparison is to look around the league and see what other kinds of piping are out there. The Angels, DBacks, Giants, Nats, Padres, and Pirates all do a subtler two-tone piping that I think is really snazzy. (Come to think of it, the Mets’ giant-NY throwbacks had it too.) Anyway, I did a photoshop hack job to see what it might look like, and I have to say, I’m hoping they look like this.
