New Jersey Nets Reversible Jerseys Promotion

A rare appearance for The Nets Police!

Wow I missed this one.  The News says $350 gets you tickets to ten games, plus 5 reversible jerseys.   That sounds cool.

The jerseys are Nets on one side…and wait for it….someone from the opposing team on the other side.  Yep, Nets on one side and say LeBron James Cavs on the other.

The Nets CEO says:

“But our goal is to see what we can do to fill as many of those seats (as possible) every night. Would I love them to all be Nets fans? Absolutely. But if some of them happen to be fans of other players, other teams – that’s okay.”

Can you imagine if…dare I say it…the Mets announced something like Albert Pujols t-shirt night?  We get mad enough when they honor a team that has been dead for 50 years and one of the most historic figures in the game.  Fortunately this has nothing to do with the Mets.
As for the Nets, you keep on planning that trip to Brooklyn.  I’ll take the Second Avenue Subway there.  Both projects should be completed around the same time.

New York Mets Not Retiring Piazza’s Number. Should They?

The New York Post got a statement from the Mets about Piazza:

“There are a number of great players from our team’s past that we will honor at Citi Field. That process is under way as we have begun installation of photographic imagery of famous Mets — including Mike — and historic moments in team history on the Field and Promenade Levels,” the statement read. “Mike is one of the greatest Mets ever, and we certainly will recognize his significant impact on our franchise and his meaningful connection to our fans in a special way at Citi Field.”

I think 31 will go up eventually, but Mike should wait in line behind Keith Hernandez.  In the mean time, Charlie Samuels can just forget to issue #31 the way he usually does with #24 unless a Rickey Henderson or a Kelvin Torve wants it.

I love the vagueness of “a special way.”  I guess this is more of a David Newman (SVP Marketing & Communications) thing than Jay Horwitz.  The media loves Jay and he’s lasted 30 years, neither of those things happens easily.

Keep The Throwbacks, Win The Wild Card!

Mets Police followers know I love the NY Giants and thought the throwbacks looked great.  

The Mets are playing .667 ball in Giants throwbacks.

.667 would get them 30 more wins – an 85 win season.

Colorado, the wild card leader, is only on pace to win 88 games.

It’s as if it is meant to be.  We can find three games somewhere.

Oh and Wright is on the DL.  Someone place Santana in bubble wrap before an asteroid lands on him.


They are not scheduled to wear throwbacks tomorrow.

I have a gallery of the throwbacks already scheduled for next weekend.

Most Popular Articles On Mets Police (August 16)

Here’s the weekly recap of most popular articles (and a few that were not well read but deserve another time at bat)

We checked in about New Traditions For Citi Field which got a big response, by the end of the week the Mets even listened to some….and you guys had your own suggestions.

The Mets Police guide to being cheap about parking was a big hit.  Walk a few blocks and save a few bucks.

Were you part of David Howard’s market research?  I’ve yet to hear from anyone, and none of the blogs or columnists ever mentioned it.   Odd.

A follow-up on the mystery of Jeff Wilpon’s playing career.

I thought Don Draper might make a good GM from the Mets.

Howie Rose talked at length about the Mets uniforms, the need to get rid of the black, and how nice the throwbacks looked.

Lots of photos were added over the weekend:

Always popular:

This week we’ll recap photos of the throwbacks, take another tour of the New York Mets Team Store and whatever else happens in Flushing.  I’ll be out there on Monday, camera in hand.

Howie Rose Just Endorsed The Giants Throwbacks And Ripped Black New York Mets Uniforms

Howie is in the middle of another black uniform rant.

He was talking about how nice the uniforms look, and said the cream color with the blue would be a nice basis for any potential redesign.   I’ve (me, Shannon not Howie) found fans like this weekend’s look, even with the non-modern NY.

Howie then started talking about some website – I will assume it was Uni Watch but my iphone buffered and I lost it – and suggested they mock up these throwbacks with a traditional Mets script on front.  If anyone is good at photoshop and wants to try it I will post it.

He also said that this would be the last time they wear them.  I wonder if they are wearing them Monday – I wanted to wear my NY Giants jersey when I head out there tomorrow.

So I started typing fast and furiously and the below is a big-time paraphrase of what Howie said.   He was talking about the uniforms, the cream and how the Mets redesign should eliminate any and all black….now here’s the paraphrase as I typed:

…based upon what the fans  have told them (the Mets), they need to honor their tradition and its a tradition worth honoring.


Look at the teams (I missed the exact list but it was at least the Yankees and Cardinals, possibly Giants and Dodgers)…they dont change colors every year.


The Mets would be well suited to follow their lead, personally speaking…


Amen Howie.  It’s so nice to have a fan in the booth.

I will post lots of pictures of the throwbacks in a few days.  There’s too many pictures on the main page right now and I don’t want to slow down the site further.

If someone wants to take a crack at the photoshop idea…
