Fugly.

Looks like the pic originates from Creamer Logo's message board back in May of 2012 which says:

Sportslogos.net poster wrote: It was intended to be used at some point in the 80's. To me, the most interesting aspect of it (besides it being powder blue, because everyone wore powder blue back then) is that it has a different interlocking NY. And overall, it actually doesn't look half bad. I wonder why the ultimately ended up scrapping it?

That photo's from a presentation at Hofstra 2012 (Mets 50th anniv.) on the topic of Mets uniform history. That presenter has an historically interesting collection of rare Mets unis, including the one shown. I attended that specific presentation which (and this was my favorite part) at the question/answer section at the end of the presentation, degenerated into a virtually totally unanimous shout-down of the Jackie Robinson rotunda.

They didn't have time for the ugly screboards

It's an awful looking yoke

I did not know this stuff. Just plucked it from twitter.

I could possibly like it. I'd like to see a button down version with at least something around the collar.
The NY.....meh, but I think I could live with it on the road uni.

This neither.
On the road I don't think I'd mind the powder blue.

I like the set they currently wear at home.

I dont particularly mind the color, but that NY is much too large and hideous, it looks like a knock-off t-shirt

Um......no.

Kvetch, kvetch. If these had been around in the eighties, as (half-)intended, we would look back on them semi-fondly and wave them around like the folks down the Turnpike do with their powder-blue double-knits.

I think maybe the Mets do need a new look, we've swung back to conservatism now for several years and I think we can all agree it's time to break to with that shit, and there's hardly any way to continue that now. Junk the pinstripes! Let's get some orange happening! LETS FUCK THINGS UP

let's go back to black, but not just any black, VANTA black.

No, I don't agree with that. I like the traditional look.

[Guest themetfairy]

We could always go back to the black unis!

[Zvon]

I thought orange would be way kool back in the late 70's when I drew this. I was a fan of the new unis hitting the majors, like Oaklands green/yellow/white tops.

And yes, laugh if you must, that supposed to be me making the catch..

But nothing, NOTHING!!!!!, should ever put the pinstripes up on a shelf. NOTHING!!!!!
I am surprised at you JCL
