To promote City Connect, the Mets have been using this Hey guys – we can’t see it. Here’s what it looks like in line Kind of a big nothing.  I don’t get it.  Do you think having a logo nobody can see is going to excite people? Also, if you know New York, you know it’s the 7 TRAIN.   The post Do the @Mets not realize their social media icon can’t be seen? appeared first on The Mets Police ..read more

Uni Watch has details of the Armed Forced Day caps for this year.  Here’s a look at the horribly cluttered Mets design. By the way, while I have a free moment…. WHY I DON’T POST AS MUCH A huge reason is the changes Elon Musk made to twitter.  Posts don’t get the reach they once did.  This also contributed to why I stopped watching games.  I used to hold court on twitter during games and interact with many fans and it was a good community hang.  You don’t see that sort of thing nowadays.  Even people I actively interact with (say @mediagoon) for an example) – I of ..read more

It’s all part of the plan ESPN wrote about The Plan (version 63), but I haven’t had time to digest it. This caught my eye. Cohen assumed controlling interest of his favorite team in 2020. When that happened, Cohen set the tone of his early stewardship with an answer to a question about which franchise he’d like to see his team emulate: “I like what the Dodgers are doing,” Cohen said before elaborating on the various methods he hoped the Mets could adopt. Which is weird, because that’s not what the Mets did this season.  But maybe I need to read the thing.  I’m busy today. The post ..read more

Nitpick about the City Connect descriptions… The 7-Line: In the City’s most diverse borough, there is one train that represents all New Yorkers equally and brings you to our home. We weave purple throughout this uniform as an homage to the ultimate connector – The 7-Line. Here’s the thing.  Nobody calls it The 7 Line.  The 7 Line is an apparel company founded by Darren Meenan (who I am mad at because his brand is using a vulgarized version of LGM and Darren knows better.) The subway which you are seeking to emote is known as  the 7 Train.  I grew up half a block from Roo ..read more

With everything going right for Steve this week – City Connect, beating Yamamoto – I figured we should go back to making fun of things, and what’s an easier target than the Queens Crew. You remember the Queens Crew? They were hyped up before the season and since Opening Day I don’t think they’ve been mentioned.  NBC has profiled them, in which we learn Auditions to join The Queens Crew were held in January, which brought in hundreds of local contestants. According to an expired job posting found on Backstage, the dance team is meant to reflect “the diverse culture, edgy style, and vibra ..read more

Great job by the Mets sharing ACTUAL ASSETS.  Like lots and lots of photos.  This helps get the word out.  Nice job Mets. I think these aren’t bad.  Wayyyy better than we could have expected.  As City Connect jerseys go they are Citizen Kane.  More on that at the end of the post. The  Mets will wear the City Connect jerseys for every Saturday home game throughout the season, (except for June 1) beginning April 27th The Mets Media Relations team did this one right, sharing lots of info. FLUSHING, N.Y., April 19, 2024 – The New York Mets today introduced the ..read more

INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT – DAY Steve: (excited):  The Mets are back baby!  The hottest team in baseball! Jerry: (nodding) . It’s about time! Steve: And guess what? I’m taking us all to Los Angeles on my private plane to see the Mets play the Dodgers! [Kramer enters, wearing a Dodgers jersey and cap] Kramer: Hey, guys! Ready for the big road trip? Steve: (shocked) Kramer,  you can’t wear that! Kramer: (confused) Why not? I love the Dodgers! Steve: Because we’re taking the Mets’ private plane! You can’t show up in Dodgers gear! Jerry: Kramer, I thought you were a Mets fan. Aren’t y ..read more

ITEM:  From Paul Lukas at Uni Watch The Mets (retired) Dwight Gooden’s No. 16 on Sunday….. (they) prepared for the festivities by mowing a big “16” into the outfield grass — including a big serif at the base of the “1” — for this weekend’s series against the Royals. Just one problem: Gooden never wore a Mets uniform with a base-serifed “1.” In fact, with the possible exception of special occasion one-offs, no Met has worn a base-serifed one since 1981, or at any time on a home uniform. (Gooden’s rookie year was 1984.) ITEM:  Whitey Herzog has passed away I wish Whitey could have m ..read more
