But it looks a little like the logo for that fancy Italian place, the one Jerry Stiller refers to on "King of Queens" as "Duh-mean-ohs."
Even more embarrassing is that the Yankees introduced a beautiful elegant design for the patch in honor of their new stadium.
I love the Mets, but everything they do seems either half-assed, cheezy, or down right weird.

What about "Who Let the Mets Out"
My opinion is they hired an delicate genius artist to design this. It is clearly the baseball diamond with the home team dug out. The 2009 in the dug represents the 2009 mets. Then the marketing people got a hold of it and forced them to write inagural season within the blue most likely compromising the artist's vision. Either way, everyone would have criticized it because the intended audience wants schmaltz. Now, neither the artist nor the marketing people have a defense.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees design is a guido special- they put out a contest for how many white columns could be fit into a patch and there we have the winner. FTY!
ReplyDeleteMetsblog.com has a nice sample of what the patch should look like if someone had put more than 10 minutes effort into it. It'll be interesting to see if the Mets cave and change it from negative publicity it's receiving.
ReplyDeleteOn a recent poll I saw 98% chose "a kindergartner could do better" vs 2% "I like it."
