I mentioned yesterday that I need a new blue Mets cap. Â Here are some I looked at on Sunday afternoon.
Care to take one guess what’s wrong with the first cap? No swoosh for me. It’s too shiny as well.
The second one was never a consideration, but much like a unicorn I had to take a picture in case we never see the likes of it again. It combines the worst of the 70’s with the worst of the ’00s. No thanks.
The third one is a youth hat. The white undershadow is interesting. It isn’t traditional but it’s not awful. Since the franchise seems obsessed with dropshadow, perhaps when we finally all sign the Treaty of Flushing I can hold out for 1983 style blue jerseys, and I can concede white dropshadow to Mr. Howard.
Finally, I apparently forgot to take a picture of the cap I actually like. It is called a “franchise” cap and it looks like it has traveled through time from 1977. The blue is lighter, like from my youth, and the NY is somewhat flat to the cap. This is a stock photo from lids.com I might have to buy this one once I see what Osh41 (my cap consultant) has to say after he reads this. They only had it in medium and I have a giant head so I didn’t get it yet.
What are you guys wearing? Send in some pics. shannon@metspolice.com
