The blog sure is getting bigger – people were surprised I didn’t really comment on the new cap. So I shall. Photo courtesy of MetsBlog.
Logo: the white outline on the NY muddies the look. Much like my complaint about how the NY didn’t “pop” on the old black/blue hydid caps, these have the same problem.
Colors: while I am confident that all the blues are the same. Dave Howard actually educated me on color adjacency. The blue on the jersey is up against white so it looks darker than the blue on the cap which is next to orange. While it’s probably actually the same, it looks like a lighter blue.
Overall: I definitely don’t love it, but I don’t hate it. It’s a little too “softball” for a major league baseball team. These might look much better with the blue jerseys, which I am sure we will find out before 162 games are played.
