I can’t imagine Howie would have commented on this if it’s not real.
Several thoughts here –
The road jerseys were perfect. Well except for the sponsor swoosh. I don’t understand why the Mets are messing with the road uniforms at all.
If one must mess with them, these aren’t horrible.
If you’re not sure what’s changed. it’s missing the blue piping down the middle among other tweaks.
I feel like I used to understand Howie. The young Howie that hosted Mets Extra.
Over the past few years, I feel like Establishment Howie and I increasingly disagree on things. I guess it’s a good thing he’s close to the organization and keeps them focused through the Alumni Committee and such (but then again, Mets Hall of Famer Al Leiter, really?) but I also see more and more of some Howie Rose Colored Glasses where he rolls over on stuff…..like an unnecessary tweak to the road jerseys.
For reference, a Mets road jersey should look like this….which Howie knows better. It’s OK Howie, Steve can’t touch you at this point. Speak freely.
And the more recent incarnation (ignore the illegal undershirt). And man doesn’t the uniform look wayyyyyyyy better without a swoosh and a hospital advertisement?
