New-Look Mets in 2010?

The first season at Citi Field will mostly be remembered for failed expectations and roughly 500 different players donning a Mets uniform at some point during the season due to the amazing string of injuries suffered during the season. In other words, they're memories that many would probably rather forget about altogether than attempt to hold on to.

So the Mets will be looking for a fresh start in 2010, and according to rumors coming out of New York, the changes the team makes this winter might not be solely roster based. There's talk that the team may be making some changes to their uniforms as well.

Though Jay Horwitz, Mets vice president of media relations, wouldn't detail how the club would alter its home uniforms, the New York Post reported on Tuesday that the alterations could include a departure from the pinstripes that have been a part of the home whites since the team's 1962 inception.

And they may no longer be home whites. The Mets may switch to cream-colored uniforms similar to what the San Francisco Giants wear in AT&T Park.

I'm no fashion expert or anything, but when it comes to baseball jerseys I've always been a fan of the less is more approach. So if the Mets want to get rid of the pinstripes and go with a simple cream color with their NY logo on their chest or the script "Mets" across the front, I think that could look pretty nice.

Now whether or not the new look will translate into more wins remains to be seen, but they'd have to do a better job than the unofficial uniform of the Mets in 2009: the hospital gown.

Changing the Mets' uniforms is NOT the answer. Let's start with fixing the clowns in ownership and front office.

How about a left fielder, a starting pitcher or two, maybe throw in a catcher and few middle relief men. What are you guys thinking. Uniform changes should be last the last things you think about. You need a team to fill them first. DUH!

The New York Post apparently was wrong. Adam Rubin in the New York Daily News reported, and Paul Lukas of UniWatch confirmed, that the Mets will sport off-white pinstripe jerseys next year, in addition to the pure white alternates they wear most of the time.

I think its time for change in upper management, don't get me wrong they have made some great roster fills but they just don't know how to put a great team together. The entire team lacks motivation and the chemistry just don't mix. We need someone with the know how who can bring in some young talent who can play well together as a team. We need someone who understands pitching is key in winning games, the rest will follow

No comment on these proposed Mets uniform changes. This team needs to add very important personnel for 2010 before they are laughed out of town. Bring on another staring pitcher on the level of Santana, a first baseman, a corner outfielder and maybe a catcher. Be on the lookout for a second baseman and let's all pray for an injury-free next season

MANAGEMANT CHEAPEST IN BASEMALL. ONLY GO AFTER CAST OFFS OTHER TEAMS GARBAGE . DUMP PEREZ DUMP MANIAC MINAYA. GET RID OF ALL THE JUNK. GET A LEFT FIELDER A FIRST BASEMAN AT LEAST ONE TOP STARTER OR TWO. PELFREY IS A HEAD CASE LIKE PEREZ. TRADE THEM . SELL THE DAM TEAM TO OWNERS WHO ARE WILLING TO PUT A REAL TEAM ON THE FIELD. NOIT A MINOR LEAGUE TEAM. MY PREDICTION FOR THE 2010METS. IF THEY STAY THE SAME 4TH OR 5TH PLACE. A DISGRACE OF A GARBAGE TEAM.
