The Mets Police: The Budweiser Mets Wear Pinstripes

The Budweiser Mets Wear Pinstripes

On my recent trip to Citi Field I took two photos that made me happy.

The first, and this is nothing new, is that I love that the MTA calls the subway stop "Mets" and not Corporate Name Field.

That will save a lot of money should we wind up with one of those stadiums like Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphins/Dolphin/Land Shark Stadium.

I also enjoyed this ad because Budweiser chooses to show the Mets wearing pinstripes. Sure the blue hat is a little funky, but at least it's not a black jersey.

If you look in the MLB style guide, tbe blue cap and pinstripe uniform remain, and have always been, the Mets' "primary" home uniform. The snow whites and blacks are alternates. You wouldn't know that by how often they're worn, though.

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!
