to include black? I remember when black became popular back in the day when NWA was popular and wearing Raiders gear...soon after that the White Sox changed to black. But that was 15 years ago. So why are the Mets becoming so devoted to the color black at this stage in this trend (if it is even a trend still)? Are their colors not still blue & orange? Furthermore its better that teams distinguish themselves and becoming the 9th team to wear navy or black does anything but that. Is anyone else bothered by the lack of aesthetics with the Mets' current trend-setting uniforms?

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Black and orange go together, so maybe that's why?
I really don't know.Originally posted by CardsFan27What I'm Currently Listening To -
Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Yeah but actually blue and orange go together moreso than black and orange. Seriously, blue and orange are opposite on the color wheel. Opposite colors yield greater contrast and vibrancy. I agree though that black and orange is also good but its also taken and, like I said, its better to be distinct.Originally posted by elicolemanComment

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
i believe they had the black coloring in their jerseys for a couple of years.. the batting helmets were changed this year... the all- black top is their alt. jersey which they have have for several years.
on a side note - i dont mind it because it also reminds me of my favorite football team... the RAAIIIDDERS.. (you know i had to say that by looking at that Broncs avatar
)

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Uh, haven't the Mets been wearing black trimmed unis, along with their black tops and black hats, since at least '98? Hell, black has been one of their primary colors for almost a decade now, it would appear.Comment

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Maybe it's because they want the Halloween colors during the season because they know they won't be playing during the month of Halloween?
Just a hunch.Originally posted by CardsFan27What I'm Currently Listening ToComment

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
True but it seems they have been wearing black with greater frequency. In 98 it was truly an alternate uniform --as in rarely worn. Every time I see a Mets highlight now, it seems they are wearing the black uniforms. Actually there orange batting practice jerseys were a lot better than anything they have with black in it.Originally posted by BGarrett7Comment

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
It's the Mets.
They bang out more uniforms than Madonna in the 80's."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Actually I read somewhere that they want to eliminate the black altogether by '08. I could be wrong tho.
I do like the new blended in multi-colour helmets tho. It's very unique.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Anything is better than that orange. I hate that orange and I don't think it mixes well with the blue or black.Comment

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Well the orange has been around since their inception and is a very integral part of the team's identity as the orange represents the Giants, blue represents the Dodgers and the rest is the Mets.Originally posted by Misfit

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
Again, orange is opposite blue on the color wheel so orange is one of, if not the, best color to go with blue.Originally posted by MisfitComment

Re: Have the Mets changed their colors...?
I love the orange/royal blue, the Knicks and Mets both have great looking uni's, IMO.
And the Mets have definately been wearing the black alternates for close to, if not more, than a decade."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier
