News: Shea-Stadium Patch is Official

The Mets today unveiled the ‘commemorative logo’ celebrating the 45-season history of Shea Stadium.

The Mets will wear this logo as a patch on the right sleeve of their uniforms during all 2008 home games.

In the coming weeks, the team will announce plans for a season-long “Salute to Shea” that will include a series of special events and promotions.

for what it’s worth, i wrote about this during the end of september, but this is the first official announcement from the team…if you click on the above photo, and check out the larger image, you’ll notice that the stadium is split in half, with a the old school shea on one side featuring those bizarre panels hanging from the building’s side, while the other side is our current version…nice work…

…and with that, bring on Citi Field
