Supreme Commander (of Allied Forces in the War to Ditch the Black) Lukas wrote at length yesterday about the BP jerseys.
You’ll definitely want to read the column AND the comments to fully appreciate his head exploding. There are several nuggets in the article including (as several pointed out) that the TV announcers didn’t even notice that these were the BP’s and thought they were Losless Los Mets jerseys. Also…
The BP jersey does not have a sleeve patch of the Mets’ skyline logo. So aside from TBTC and TATC games, this was the first game in which the Mets did not wear that patch since 1992 — the last year of the racing stripe era.

Again if you missed it, the Los Mets jerseys return in game use tomorrow night. No civilian has recieved one as far as I am aware, although Majestic tweeted me and said they shipped.
Goon and I walked around the stores at Citi last night..there are slim-pickings when it comes to jerseys. It’s as if they are letting the inventory thin out before a reload.
With that in mind, if you want a cream or a dropshadow or a black so you have it 10 years from now, you might want to get one before they become retro. I don’t know what changes are coming, but they are coming.
