The Brilliance of the Mets Uniforms
Seth argues that the Mets, yes, those Mets, have the best uniforms in New York.
As we await for baseball to return, all this free time to think about baseball has really opened the floodgates to baseball fans/writers/players throwing out plenty of polls. With Nike now taking over the manufacturing of MLB uniforms, it allowed fans to opine (or in some cases complain) about the changes other teams put into place with their on field look.
While the New York Mets did not alter their attire, beyond the addition of a “swoosh”, it left me happy to see the team maintain their classic aesthetic. It should also be noted that Nike did not make the changes to the uniforms. Those designs were in place with Major League Baseball from when it was originally supposed to be Under Armour becoming the new outfitter.
I for one, a non-Mets fan, love the look of the New York Mets. In today’s age where teams, of all sports, try to design their uniforms to have an edge or dark dominant colors, the Mets have reverted to having their classic color scheme. Albeit a desire to have throwbacks to their late ’90s look of black softball tops has come up recently.
