Hey, scream all you want about the play on the field. But going nuts over stuff like this makes Mets fans look like obnoxious crybabies.

I like the dropshadows, I like the black, I didn’t like the white pinstripes but I like these.

Just because the vocal minority is in favor of something doesn’t mean the majority supports it, too.

They haven’t given me October baseball so I am not happy! …..but I get your point regarding the pinstriped jerseys.

The logic of the Mets fan:

1.) The Mets should never do anything to get any money out of me, for I am the loyal fan and should be given anything I want either cheaply/or free.

2.) The Mets should spend millions and millions of dollars signing top tier free agents AND their draft picks well above slot in order to make me, the fan who wants to spend no money, happy.

So in essence: “I, the fan, want the Mets to give me exactly what I want without expecting me to reimburse them for it, and then I want to go out with their own money, not mine, and spend it like crazy on new players.”

You want Matt Holliday or John Lackey here? Then go buy a freakin’ pinstriped, creme-colored, non-retro retro jersey.

I do not get most of you. I really don’t. Everything this team does, their “fans” scream about how awful it is. Go root for somebody else. I see nothing wrong with these new jerseys. They’re pinstriped, which the “fans” want. They pay homage to old-school baseball, which the “fans” want. The Mets have given the “fans” what they want… and the “fans” still aren’t happy. Unbelievable.

What, that people like and buy them? Yeah, that’s a good reason to discontinue them. (THAT’S how you do sarcasm.)

Keep the black.

Agreed, here’s a design I submitted to MetsBlog a while back that I think does a nice job:

Agree…this jersey does not look “retro” at all. The pinstripes look different, but the jersey still looks white. I would have liked to see something similar to the Cream “NY” old school jerseys they wore this past season.

I would have also liked to see a Mr. Met patch on the sleeve. That would have been a cool retro touch.

I like this uniform better than any ones they are currently wearing so it is an improvement, I just think the change could have been bigger and better.

If you want the new Mets retro jersey, just wear your current pinstripe jersey to a cigar bar for 1 month without washing it.
