Rats. I was all excited that the Mets trotted out K-Rod and Putz in the almost traditional Mets pinstripes (I say almost because of the dopey black shading).
Unfortunately today's papers have an ad with Putz and Francisco (K-Rod is dumb and makes me think of certain people in the Bronx) and they are wearing the silly no-pins. At least the no-pins are white and not black.
Come on Mets, know your fans. We want the traditional uniforms. Why must you be difficult?
I re-offer the Mets Police compromise: wear pinstripes and blue hats at home, wear "1973" jerseys (with blue hats) on the road – no names on either – and on Sunday wear whatever you want to sell, market or just look awful in. If you want to have pink polka dot Sunday alternates fine.
Wear black, half black, green, white no-pins, Negro league throwbacks, Dodger uniforms, Citibank logos, whatever pleases you – but look like a baseball team the other 6 days.
