What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Want. $200. A tad pricey. I may have to get this next time MLB.com has a good coupon.
Discuss!
The white stripes are atypical but work….and the back has an orange Mets script (no dropshadow of any color) in the classic style.
I may have to get this, and if I shared a birthday with Tom Seaver (which I don’t but some people do) I would ask my wife to get this for me.
Seems fun…
Long ago my ancestors fled Ireland in search of a better future. A decision based upon economics. I do not think poorly of them, and I am able consider myself to be “Irish” while of course being American.
Mets fans, I invite you to join me (and Terence) in supporting the Team of Our Ancestors.
A team that gave us our NY insignia. A team that gave us our first home of the Mets.
A team that brought 17 NL pennants to this great city of ours. Seventeen!
A team that provided New York with 5 World Series titles.
A team that even knew how to work black into the color scheme without looking like idiots.
Our ancestors are not the bums from Brooklyn no matter what Fred would leave you to believe.
This is New York’s National League team. We shall root them on to win a World Series like our grandfathers did.
Terence is on board and has shared his ensemble. I ordered the orange Giants jersey and will pair it up with my old black and orange NY Giants cap (because I don’t have a super cool one like Terence’s below and my red white and blue one would be a train wreck).
I support the Formerly New York Giants in the World Series. Do you?
I’m working on a new series aboiut crappy Mets merchandise and I stumbled across this photo.
Looks like Wrigley Field in the 1970’s? Before the sports bars across the street? Bobby in a road jersey?
Yes?
Regular readers know about my Treaty of Flushing proposal: look nice in blue Mon-Thurs, and Saturday. Wear dopey black on Friday (a major concession to Generation Piazza) and then since I want the Mets to make money (presumably the reason behind multiple uniforms) I propose Anything Goes Sundays.
There could be an opportunity to have fun…wear shamrocks or Metropolitanos or holiday themed jerseys or Negro Leagues or whatever….and go ahead and sell them too.
Every year the San Jose Sharks roll out Halloween jerseys and then auction them off. Here’s an example of how Anything Goes Sunday could work.
Fun, harmless, silly, obviously gimmicky. Not trying to fool anyone. Raise some money, maybe even sell some merchandise….and then come out on Monday looking like a Professional Baseball Team.
Anything Goes Sunday might even draw a crowd.
