100 percent guaranteed this is it. I like what they did as opposed to previous designs, and it’s blue. Hmmm.
Everyone buy one to prove blue sells. Or Los sells.
As @formerdirtdart pointed out notice there is NO DROPSHADOW.
If you are anti-black PLEASE BUY ONE. Show the Mets BLUE SELLS!!!!!
This is HUGE…for the first time in history, the Mets will wear blue at home in a regular season game!!! and it has NO BLACK!!! Yet Shannon doesn’t even mention that part of it…I’m in some Bizarro world.
Of course it is not perfect…Los looks straight, but Mets is in Wilpon script…the crooked M looks even stupider since Los is straight. The only other thing is I’d like the white border to be a bit thicker.
wait Steve, are you saying they never wore blue at home?
That’s exactly what I’m saying…they only wore the blue alts in 1982-1984 on the road.
Wow now that you point it out!
Not a big fan of slapping “Los” up there just to make the team name seem Spanishy. Also, this jersey could use some black.
This must be the worst day for you…why don’t you start working on a campaign…”Bring Back the Black”…something tells me you will need it next year.
Haha…I want to retire the blog! Just win the WS while dressed nicely and I’m done after the parade pics.
It’s actually a surprisingly interesting step in the right direction. I don’t see ANY trace of dropshadow, which naturally emits black from the equation. The fact that the “Los” is the same size as “Mets” sells it to me a lot more, it seems much more purposeful than just slapping a baby “Los” on the upper left. The white outline around the words and orange piping is good… all in all, a classy alternate.
yeah the normal sized Los is way better than the tiny stupid Los. I stand by my Tigres/Los Tigres reasoning though that Los Mets is dumb…but the story tonight is the color blue.
Love the fact they went with a true blue jersey. Now hopefully they pair it with the pinstriped pants:)
Where and how can you buy the blue jersey?
Thanks,
Bo Diaz
Hi Bo – Majestic facebooked that they would be available at retail outlets. There were none available at Citi last night. I will let you about tonight. They are avaiilable for pre-order (?) on Mets.com
Thanks Shannon. I live in NC. Grew up in Jackson Heights. Lets Go Mets!
Bo I just posted…Modell’s has them (for pre-order) but 20% off. So a nameless is $143. Top post on the site at 4:50pm Tuesday
I’m not a big fan of dark jerseys, but if they want to go with a dark this is it! beautiful … and the best part is NO BLACK! I hope this is sign of the future. I’d love to see them ditch all black add this color scheme as an alternate jersey.
where can i buy one these bad boys
where can i buy one?
Gabe I bought mine on Modell’s. Dicks and the official MLB shop are also selling them.
I believe they haven’t been manufactured yet as most sites are saying shipped after Aug 22 or so.
