The Mets did their Los Mets celebration again last night. I don’t have the patience right now to look for my old articles on the subject, but they are fairly identical to last year:
1. I love heritage night. I’ve never been a fan of putting “Los” in front of the Mets. Mets in spanish is Mets. Mets in any language is Mets, so changing the name is not exactly an appropriate celebration. I was a fan, years ago, when the Mets used to have heritage week.
2. Someone had the (no sarcasm here, seriously) great idea last year of changing up the the Los Mets jersey. Rather than just putting a small patch that said “Los” on top of the uniform, they went with a whole new top. To some degree, that addresses the first issue because it makes the celebration seem less like an add on and more like a sincere gesture.
The Mets went with the blue uniforms again last night but with some differences. If you click on the link, it will bring to last year’s blue tops with white outline and orange inside. This year they flipped it. I don’t like it as much, but it is still really sharp:
And of course, you can already purchase it.
