The Mets Police: Metsmerized asks if the Mets brand is damaged

Metsmerized asks if the Mets brand is damaged

Metsmerized has a good take here, asking if the Mets brand has been damaged.

I don't know that there is a brand. It's a little before my time but based upon what I learned in the late 1970s, and what was mentioned in this SI article from April 1970, the Mets brand once was pitching, fun and a new ballpark. Even in 1986 I'm not sure they had a strong "brand." Plenty of front-runners from the Bronx came by, but it wasn't like Mets Inc. really had a brand.

The brand in 2010? Right now it's whatever NBC's is.

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!
