    I dunno about that. The Mets wore that cap in '97. The Royals and Reds also had white caps for a couple seasons as well.

    I also loved the red caps from the 70s that the Red Sox brought back briefly a few years ago.

        It looked better on pitchers.

          Egads.... A Bernard Gilkey resurrection... I think the unis have had some form of black trim in them for at least three years or so...

          Also, I remember reading somewhere that in addition to the colors being indicative of the Brooklyn Dodgers and NY Giants heritage, the colors of New York City are blue and orange... I remember seeing that on the flag at City Hall in downtown Manhattan.

            And the Mets have definately been wearing the black alternates for close to, if not more, than a decade.
            Which is part of why I asked the question. I was aware that they had had some form of black in alternate uniforms for a while. Plus they seem to be wearing black with greater regularity. Given all of that, should they or have they officially changed their colors to include black? I would normally say that its a load of nonsense that its to acknowledge the history of the Giants and Dodgers but since the owner wants the new stadium to be fashioned after Ebbets Field, perhaps there is a little truth to that. Still though, I would say that they feel like they can move more merchandise with black is a primary reason.
