but have the biggest changes in mind for their road uniform, said to be completely re-imagined in a charcoal gray … with Mets in script …. The message continues: Interestingly there is absolutely no black on this uniform whatsoever – and I was told that the blue/orange/white color combination jumps off this uniform with incredible success. Blue/Orange/White piping will also be on the ends of the sleeves, down the front of the jersey, and down the pant legs as well.”

I saw this exact jersey at my local Sports Authority (Clifton Commons in NJ) on Saturday afternoon. It was right next to a Yankees jersey of the same color, navy and white piping, with the interlocking NY on the chest. Both were made by Majestic, but I automatically assumed them to be part of the “fashion jerseys” line. Just looked and can’t find it on TSA’s website. Hindsight, I would have taken a picture of them…

not uni related (or political) but is anybody else totally loving the way TBS is showing the batter’s “here is what he’s done today at the plate” line by simulating the scorer’s book?

one of the few good things about SNY (mets) broadcasts, is they have been doing that all year…

The YES Network has done that the past two seasons, perhaps longer. They even utilize the backwards K; I think Michael Kay is contractually obligated to explain it every time one is on the screen.

you’re not shitting us, are ya graf? no black? i may have died and gone to heaven…

so the aways would sorta look like this…only darker?

I’m just relaying the rumor from MBTN. Can’t say I’d be thrilled with a radical redesign of the road jersey, especially since the ‘95-97 version is so frickin’ awesome. But let’s see what they come up with…

While I can’t go into specifics, I can say that all the above-mentioned rumors are false and that, for better or worse, next year’s Mets uni set is almost identical to this year’s. Nothing momentous, so don’t get your hopes up (or fears, as the case might be).

Also, check out the Red Sox pitcher Masterson. He’s got the Todd Jones treatment on his sleeves (right is much shorter than the left) and his red undershirt is showing on the shortened sleeve.

“Those aren’t their BP jerseys. Those are their alternates. “

I know, I exaggerate for effect.

Right. They’re obviously T-Ball jerseys.

Why is the coach on the right wearing a Pop Warner football T-shirt?
