The Mets stock up on blue jerseys

The @newyorkmets tweeted this picture of the Mets store at Citi Field being loaded up for Opening Day.  For a color that doesn’t sell they sure stock a lot of it.

  2. that whole rack right there is M&N wear. not only the jerseys, but the track jacket, henley and cardigan as well. those bps (i’m wearing my keith one at this very moment) are a fantastic deal. they retail at $80 (maybe a little more at citi because they include tax in their list prices).

    i’d be very curious to look at the sales numbers for these since they came out last year because i think it’d be an excellent case study in mets marketing. i know there’s nostalgia attached to these because they’re available in gooden, keith, mookie, but i wonder if they have/will outsell the blue BP jersey (which has black as the secondary color). or even black replicas and authentics this year. very interesting indeed.

    if you’re going out to citi though, i highly suggest picking one of these bad boys up.

  3. love these m&n bp jerseys. I haven’t picked one up yet because i’m holdin out hope that they’ll make a gary carter version. sooner or later i might cave and pick up a Hernandez

      1. why would i buy that when Carter wasn’t even on the team that year? It almost like buying a Mazzilli jersey with the black shadow, lol j/k Shannon. Thanks for the heads up though. A nice jersey, just not accurate.

        1. Well, I probably shouldn’t have added the years. The Mets don’t list it with years.
          On reality, the Home Alternate Blue Jersey is a bit of a mythical beast. Everyone knows it existed. Just no one is really sure when. There are photos of the road version (grey-bordered-by-orange wordmark/numbers/NOB) from during the ’85 season. And, the blue BP jerseys (Hm & Rd) from the same time added to the confusion, in that hey looked the same, but made of mesh with no NOB.

          1. That jesey WAS a myth…it never existed. I challenge anybody to show me a photo of the New York Mets of the National League playing a home regular season game at William A. Shea Stadium wearing a blue jersey with a name on the back. I CHALLENGE YOU.

  4. I was in the store last week, the jerseys are $105 there (if memory serves). Much better off buying it direct from M&N or MLB.com at fuill oprice or wait for the next promo.

    2. Warning if you are an obsessive detail nut:

      I was at the M&N flagship store in Philly last year and saw a ton of these BPs. The quality control was poor…some had front numbers that were too thin and did not look right. If you don’t want to get stuck with a bad one, you should buy one in person after inspecting for yourself.

      The newer M&N 1969 Home and Road jerseys I have seen have completely wrong fonts that look really bad…I don’t understand why they would deliberately downgrade their authenticity…I guess they don’t care.

  5. Have they really stocked a lot of it, or just shoved all of it into the same corner of the store?

    Either way, it’s interesting that this is the photo they sent out.

  7. as long as i have my 1969 seaver home jersey with the MLB 100th anniversary patch on the sleeve,the mets will have to do better than that!
