What the hell were the Mets wearing at the Civil Rights Game in Memphis today? ESPN said they were "retro" uniforms. Unless the Mets started playing somewhere before 1962, I've NEVER seen them were anything that looks like that. Nor did the Brooklyn Dodgers or the New York Giants ever look like that. I hope they were just spring training uniforms. Enough with the uniforms already. Bring back the Mets script in pinstripes for home and gray flannel with NEW YORK in block letters for away. And step messing with the caps! They're supposed to be robin's egg blue for the Dodgers and an orange NY for the Giants. Get rid of the black garbage. We're not the Raiders!
Whew, thanks gang, I feel a lot better now.

They were "old school" uniforms, perhaps mimicking those worn by players in the Negro Leagues. While certainly not my favorite uniforms, I respected and appreciated them under the circumstances.

They were from the Negro League, which team I could not tell you.
As the Negro League had 8 teams in New York state/city.
- Brooklyn Eagles
- Brooklyn Royal Giants
- Harlem Stars
- New York Lincoln Giants
- New York Balck Yankees
- New York Cubans
- New York Cuban Stars (maybe the same team as above)
- New York Gorham

I dont know, I kinda like the black unis, but i feel that they wear them too much. And as to the black, why not have a color that is unique to the Mets. The way it is now we have a bit of the Dodgers (dodger blue as it is called i believe) and the Giants (giant orange, original I know) and a little bit of the Mets, something that is bold and stands out a bit.

to be honest i liked the old school uniforms, and yet I think it is special to just wear them for this game given their history.

A further mea culpa. When I said get rid of the black garbage, I meant the black uniforms and caps we've been wearing the past few years. It wasn't a reference to the uniforms at the game which (unknown to me) were Negro league uniforms. Open mouth, insert foot.
