Hey everyone, I believe this is a naive mistake, and a common one.
The Mets stopped wearing this particular logo a few years ago and I thought we were done with it.
I am sure if the Mets, MLB, the MLB store and New Era do some basic research they will find themselves horrified to be playing on this side of the street.
Please consider withdrawing this cap from sale. I bellve you meant no harm. I am here to educate you. Please reconsider.
The Mets shared part one of their promotional schedule. Early in the season will be a great time to go see the Mets as Francisco Lindor is out, so he won’t be giving you the thumbs down, and Vulgar Pete is gone, so you can feel assured Citi Field is family friendly again!
We begin with Opening Day – you can get in for just $127! I used to go to Opening Day every year until 2016 when the Mets decided they would jack the prices and have New Friends rather than us loyalists. Now I don’t go. And Opening Day isn’t sold out (!) so I hope that plan worked out for you guys.
Saturday March 28th brings a 1986 Replica Ring. You know what would be nice? A 2026 Actual World Series Ring.
On Sunday…well…what are we even doing
After that, some bobbleheads. I never understood the appeal, I find them to be clutter.
And then it’s the “Retro” T-Shirt designed by someone who clearly wasn’t around in 1986. Maybe the retro means 2006, but this isn’t how shirts looked in 1986.
So do the Mets just suck at branding? Are they unwilling or unable to control their players?
Suddenly Pete goes to Baltimore and he’s able to say Go O’s without an F in the middle.
On the other hand, he doesn’t seem to be able to say Orioles, he says Earls…which locals might tell me is proper, which would be even more annoying since he came to my team and vulgar’d all over it.
This is very disappointing. One time a brash new owner said he would be disappointed if the Mets didn’t win the World Series in five years. We are now in YEAR SIX of that man’s plan, and these words are not acceptable to me.
The mindset for this organization should be WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES. Once you open the door to “well, if we make the third wild card…” than you have accepted less than excellence.
I don’t want to “go deep.” Win the World Series. ALL other outcomes is a failure.
Settling Steve, I have seen 4 full decades go by. Getting better every year is not acceptable. Win it all.
Now some of you Negative Nellies might be saying “hey, why can’t we just have a cap with an NY on it instead of this stupid Mr. Met logo” but you are wrong.
You see friends, Lindor is out for a while…and Pete is gone…so right now everything the Mets do is great and perfect. There will be no making fun of the Mets until further notice.
Enjoy this wonderful time where #LGM isn’t vulgar, and none of the players hate Mets fans. I think these caps are great! This one is THUMBS UP from me!
