Opinion: The Cream, No-Name, Mr. Met Uniform

by Matthew Cerrone on August 17th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

The gigantic NY is a bit much.

Otherwise, I like the cream color, the no names on the back, and the Mr. Met patch, all featured on the current throwback uniform being worn by the Mets this series, as the team honors their National League heritage.

I’d like to see these exact uniforms, with Mr. Met, the no names, the single stripe, along with the blue traditional hats, but instead of the hideous NY, use the old school Mets logo on the front – no black, no shadow, just the blue and orange Mets name.

The image in this post can give you a sense of the cream color, the no name, the Mr. Met, etc., which I think is a nice look.

Earlier this season, the Mets sent out an online survey via e-mail to a select group of fans, which asked a variety of questions about the current uniform scheme, including, “Which Mets game jersey is your favorite,” “Do you think the Mets should wear the pinstripes jersey more often,” and, “Why do you think the Mets should not keep the black jersey?”

In other words, come on, Mets, you know you want to devolve in to a more traditional, stable, clean-looking uniform.

So, pick one, and let’s do this.
