Who should sponsor the Mets?

[Edgy MD]

A strange thing is that the Mets seem to now be in bed with multiple healthcare organizations —

• NY Presbyterian,


• Northwell Health (parent of Long Island Jewish and the Katz Women's Center),


• Catholic Health (at some level, I think), and


• The Hospital for Special Surgery (affiliated with NY-Pres, I think, but not under their umbrella).

The only one I remember them actually using is the Hospital for Special Surgery.

The others may just be sponsors. No?

Sponsors and beneficiaries, sure. All are professional relationships.

HSS is a member of the NYP healthcare system, I know this as years ago my son's cardiologist sent us to HSS when we needed to see a spine specialist , although I think the main affiliation is with Weill Cornell, which is of course part of NYP

No problem. There's still plenty of room for more medical institution patches bigger than your head on the Msts uni. On the front. On the back. Under the Mets wordmark. Between the buttons. And over the ass. That's just for starters. Just, please, not in Phillies red.

No sponsor on the Athletics' sleeves?

Noticed that, I guess who would waste their $$ ?

[Frayed Knot]

Among all the other issues, those patches look like they'd be uncomfortable to wear by making the sleeve stiff.

[Edgy MD]

No doubt.



Also, nothing but the LA insignia on the Dodgers' sleeves.

I thought the Dodgers removed the "LA" paving the way for Staples or Planet Hollywood to take its place.

It was there last night.

Ah I missed that. They were going without in spring and folks (and me) were assuming the worst.

Take two…

[Benjamin Grimm]

Much better. It would be better if it wasn't there, but if it has to be, this is much better than the original.

[Methead]

Works for me.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That was a genius way of getting us to take this affront.

[MFS62]

Not bad.

Not too good, either.

But not bad.

I'd have to see the size.

Exactly. Everybody's caught up in how it was made better without recognizing how awful it is from a baseline.

[Edgy MD]

Presumably into perpetuity, we'll now be able to identify any relevant photos as definitively coming from April 2023.

[kcmets]

New patch > old patch.



It would be better if Presbyterian was spelled wrong, 'cause who

the fuck looks at the ad patch anyways after once or twice glances.



Who buys something because of baseball stadium ads? I don't.

I'm really embarrassed about my basement filled wall-to-wall with Peerless Boilers.

[Frayed Knot]

You should see all the Old Dominion trucks I've bought.

I love Howie, but "tea proudly" is pretty god damn lame imho.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

He didn't write that shit.



I do like how Howie goes out of character and gets pumped up on Bigelow, "refuses to settle" when you know irl Hoeie would drink any tea that paid him.
