The Mets Police: Are the Mets really selling this t-shirt?

Are the Mets really selling this t-shirt?

Jimmy the Mets fan sent this over. Jim says this was taken in the Mets Clubhouse store. If Jimmy hadn't just sent me last week's pics from the season ticket holder's tour I would think I was being punked.

Really? This is what they are going to sell?

Really?

Corey dropped me a note last night after my teaser and said..."are you aware that the Mets don't run any of their stores? The Manhattan & Roosevelt Field stores are run by a company called Sports Avenue, who also run the Yankees stores. Aramark runs the stores at Citi."

I was not aware of that, however the Mets have some say in the merchandise no? What if some maniac at Sports Avenue wanted to sell "25 more and we catch the Yankees" t-shirts? Someone must sign off on these things.

Shannon,
You need to reach around to your backside and pull that stick out. That's a funny shirt, and will not result in the complete demise of the franchise. One thing I have learned through the years, that in the most dire of times, a little humor goes a long way.
"25 more and we catch the Yankees" would actually be another great shirt.

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!
