The Mets Police: Maybe Blue New York Mets Jerseys Are A Terrible Idea

Maybe Blue New York Mets Jerseys Are A Terrible Idea

From time to time I suggest the Mets look at blue uniforms, like the ones from the early 80's.

Here's Gary Carter in a St. Lucie Mets uniform. Look at the mismosh blue with Tom Glavine era black lettering, a black cap, pinstriped pants, BLACK socks. Can you imagine the hideousness if Charlie Samuels were able to dress the New Yorkers like this?

We must never let this happen in Flushing. Hideous mix. Worst ever.

i don't like the Blue with Black the way they've done it, but the blue with just orange and white is good.

The Mets' uniform problem didn't come from the introduction of black. The problem has always been that the black and blue pieces just don't look very good together.

This picture provides a perfect example.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
