If the Mets do get the 2013 All Star Game I’m a little worried about the All Star jerseys.
Maybe I’ll get my wish and the Mets will drop BLACK for the 50th season in 2011, but assuming they won’t because you know, black sells – it’s not winning, it’s black….
DIGRESSION TIME. Â SOURCE: THE WASHINGTON POST July 12th:
According to MLB:
* More than 78,000 Strasburg jerseys were sold through July 1, making his the top-selling Nats jersey of all time. Yes, in one month he outpaced the entire career of Ryan Zimmerman for jersey sales.
Let’s see…the Nationals…what do they wear again? Â It’s black isn’t it? Â Yep, the Nationals sell lots of black Strasburg jerseys.
Anyways….I worry that the All Star Jersey could look clownfish if they have blue and orange and black. Â You know how MLB loves to do that crappy underarm color nonsense (please stop. Â please.) Â We could have a real mess on our hands.
If I invent the holodeck in time and find myself in charge of the 2013 All Star game I will propose that the NATIONAL uniform be Mets WHITE and the AMERICAN wear blue. Â No black. Â No underarms. Â I’ll actually suggest there not be All Star jerseys but I’ll lose that fight.
See this jersey below – imagine it with NATIONAL across the chest. Â This is what I fear.
I also worry that Mets Font might look bad spelling out AMERICAN. Â Then again maybe it won’t.
If you’re bored and good at photoshop get crackin’ Â Let’s see some 2013 All Star Game designs.
By the way, I’m looking forward to the Mets having home field advantage in the 2010 World Series. Â And can Flushing have the All star Game already please. Â The Bronx has had it twice and Anaheim like 3 times. Â Even stupid Cleveland had it twice since 1964. Â This is New York, there’s plenty of places for the bigwigs to schmooze and do whatever it is they do at these things. Â Even the NFL figured that out.
