- Updated: January 12, 2009
The 2009 baseball season will be particularly special in New York this spring, with new stadiums opening up in both Queens and the Bronx. With that, of course, comes an unfathomable amount of various promotions and commemorative items, among them being the uniform patch players will wear on their sleeves.
Well, this is the Met's version of that patch. Seriously, this is what players on the New York Mets will be flaunting on their abundance of different uniform combinations this season:
Soooo, ever interested in how they came up with such a winner, our crafty resources were able to get their hands on some of the concepts the Mets whipped up before ultimately netting out with the victory you see above. In no particular order…

amazing creativity, that must come after months of brainstorming at the highest level. I’ve heard Dolce & Gabbana, Renzo Piano and Philippe Starck were involved in the process.
can someone give me the name of the “stylist” and his email, and I’ll contact Sixers asking to hire them

I think they should use them all. Put them each in random places on the jersey. They could be indivdually designed so no two uniforms are the same.

Just leave it blank. That way it keeps the theme of no creativity, no interest, no caring, no ability to have any sense of anything alive in the hearts and minds of the players and fan of what one can only assume is meant to be baseball?
You could put this patch on anything:
Pizza box of course, pick your sport jersey, obama’s lapel, a tree, whatever…
the only APPROPRIATE location to mount this is in a graphic design class as an example of what NOT to do!

Yeah, I’m a major Mets fan but that logo sucks worse than the way they lost last season. Why don’t they put “Another Flop: 2009”. It’d make a lot more sense considering this year looks to be as grim as last year for them.

All of you hating on the Mets should be slamming the Yanks. For a team with a salary like that, the Yanks didn’t even make the playoffs… hahaha… The Yanks are a joke. A-Rod doesn’t care about anything but the money. The only player on the team I like is Jeter. He needs to get over to the Blue Jays.
