Read: Paul Lukas on Mets Retro Uniform
Yesterday, the Mets announced the addition of a 60s-inspired, home retro jersey for 2010, which you can see here.
According to the outstanding UniWatch, Paul Lukas wonders why the Mets needed to
issue a press release to announce the jersey, when they could easily have just written:
“You know that pinstriped uni we never wear? Next year it’ll be beige instead of white.”
Lukas also takes issue with the team referring to the new uniform as ‘retro,’ because, unlike the original 60s version, this current model has the black drop shadow, and so, he says, “The Mets can’t even do retro accurately.”
…he is right… it is the essentially the same uniform they’ve been wearing, just in cream… as for the black or the shadow… i used to like it, now i don’t… the problem is, if you look at the list of top selling items from Mets.com, the black shirts and jerseys are always near the top…
…so, as much as i might dislike it, it probably doesn’t really matter what i think, considering i own one official Mets jersey, and i bought it in 1986…
