One of my favorite random Mets topics….Mr Met 1.5!

As much as the Mets act like they love Mr. Met these days, he was a complete non-entity for about 15 years. Then…THIS showed up!

At some point I dubbed this character “Mr. Met 1.5” which seems to have stuck (Mr. Met being the character in the museum and Mr. Met 2 being the current design).

Mr. Met 1.5 had TUDE.  It was the 90s.  Itchy, Scratchy & Poochy.  Everything had to be XTREME.  So Mr. Met came back with an attitude and a scary look in his eye.

It didn’t last long, there are very few images, and like much of the 1990s in Queens, best forgotten.

Bad designs. $44 price point. A lockout. Players that boo the fans. Other players complicit in their silence. The wallet is closed fellas. Burn the entire sport to the ground.

This NY is terrible. It has the same problem the old hybrids did. The NY does not pop. Donate $44 to an animal shelter instead.

WHAT IS THIS PRICE POINT????

 

 

The New York Mets Leopard 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features an embroidered Mets multi-colored logo at the front panels, a 1986 World Series patch at the right-wear side, and a matching MLB Batterman logo at the rear. Additional details include a leopard inspired inner sweatband and brown undervisor.

 

 

 

 

You know a season was bad when the owners take out an ad in the newspaper to apologize.

That’s how bad 1992 was.  I have kept this letter all these years and it sits in front of me in my office.

This is a real thing that actually happened kids.

30 years later I await that next championship.

 

This hurts my eyes (really) because it looks like I de-saturated the color.  Nope, they are selling gray caps.  Why? I don’t know.
