Hi Shannon,
I’ve been thinking, nevermind the discussion about the black, let’s talk about the blue and the orange.
Take a look at this old pic of Casey in a Mets uniform.
Let’s talk about the blue. It’s a royal blue, not a light royal blue.
Let’s talk about the orange. It’s muted, not as much red, not so bright.
The bright orange blue the Mets wear is so counterposed and bright as to be nearly impossible to wear w civis, or even to look at on the field. If they just went back to Dodger blue and a cool orange, rather than highway warning sign orange, then the regular hat could be the civi hat.
Also, w the Red Sox and Yankees going from navy to midnight navy, the Mets have room to steal on the darker side of blue.
Whatchathink?
