New road uniforms w/o "New York"? Less black?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I've been informed by a reliable source that the denial of that story is credible and that the very same ugly-ass unis will be back for next year, unfortunately.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oh well. If that's true, then at least the uniforms won't be getting uglier, which was always a possibility.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'll agree. I think off-black is likely a step in the wrong direction from black.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Have you met my friend, Mr. Lee? First name, Ug.




Adam Rubin has this in his blog, taken from some guy who shot it at The Sports Authority. So this may indicate nothing.

On the other hand, all I want is my team's uniform to look better than my uncle's pajamas. Is that wrong?

[metirish]

Could the ETS be any further away from the M? , h-orrible.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm 68% sure it's not an indicator of anything to come.

[metirish]

Yeah , it looks like a bad imitation they sell over at Fordham road.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Isn't it funny how even when the information is wrong, the legit media is scooped by us interneters. I'm pretty sure Rubin's falling for the same falsehoods we did months ago.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I thought this was the new Mets uniform for 2009.



The ebay seller says "new", so it must be.

I mean, yeah this was for his blog, which is different than an article in either the paper itself, or even the online edition, but still it is a small example of it. Funny about how this technological age is so driven in the point that simple research can be at our fingertips, yet it has created a laziness as well based on the desire to be the first outlet (major or otherwise) with a breaking story.

Wrong again Bucket , thanks Steve for sorting that out.

Relaxarino, Steve. It's Rubin's blog, and clearly there's a different threshold for blog content, and little editorial oversite.

Spacemans Bong Dec 31 2008 08:50 PM I don't really know why the Mets do this stuff. The Mets are unique among expansion teams in actually having an identity (compare to the Astros, who have changed their look four or five times). Blue from the Dodgers, orange from the Giants, a little kooky thrown in for good measure. Blue hats with an orange NY. Mets and number on pinstriped home unis, 1930s Giants-style New York on the roads (I could whine about how it's another example of Fred Wilpon disregarding the Giants tradition). That's it. The Mets butt in on every trend - pullovers, traditional pullovers, traditional-style buttonups, black trim - and it always looks bad compared to the classic unis. This is the uniform.
