Can't Tell the Uniforms Without a Scorecard
2004-06-28 21:37

The Mets evidently need to hire a style consultant or at least a go-fer who can hail a cab. They forgot uniforms for Tom Wilson and Jose Parra for their crosstown double header with the Yanks yesterday.

The Mets wore their road grays for the first game:

In the second, they went to the alternate road blacks:

However, Wilson and Parra wore their alternate home blacks--Note the familiar/home-ish "Mets" in script:

They had many other options as well. The home whites with pinstripes:

Then there's the second alternate home whites without stripes:

Or the we-don't-know-where-the-hell-we-are orange jerseys:

Or the we're-just-in-it-for-the-money orange BP jerseys:

Or the hockey jersey:

Or the green St. Pat's jersey:

Or the old pullover blues:

Or the old pullover greys with white piping:

Or the old pullover greys without piping:

To quote John Franco by way of my friend Murray, "I bleed whatever our colors are."

Of course, the Yankees had but one choice:

That kinda tells you a lot about these two franchises, huh? And they say the Yankees are all about the money?
