For years now, David Wright has worn an orange undershirt, instead of the Mets’ usual blue. The thing is, the collar has always been the only orange-visible part of the shirt. He’s never worn orange sleeves extending below his jersey sleeves — until yesterday. Remember, this is the same David Wright who opted not to wear a captain’s “C” because, as he himself put it, “the uniform is uniform for a reason.” Not sure if this more orange-aggressive move was just an Opening Day thing or what, but I don’t like it, nossir. The team’s undershirt color is blue — just wear the (Bleep) blue like everyone else.
The last Mets captain wore an orange shirt under his uniform. John Franco wore the orange Dept. of Sanitation shirt in honor of his father, one of ‘New York’s Strongest’, who encourged his son to pursue his baseball dreams. I don’t think it was a problem then; it shouldn’t be a problem now.
Orange undershirt looks better than the blue.
I played for a baseball team with the Mets colors. I wore an orange shirt underneath. I think it looks sharp.
