Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these here “Mets City Connect Gear,” alright? Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d take a look-see myself. Now, I ain’t no fancy pants, but I know what I like, and I know what looks good on them fellas playin’ ball.
What’s the Big Fuss About?
First off, they’re tellin’ me this stuff is “limited edition.” Sounds like they tryin’ to make a big deal out of it, like them fancy cars they sell in the city. They say it’s supposed to show off the “culture” and “spirit” of the city. Well, I reckon New York’s got plenty of spirit, that’s for sure. Loudest place I ever been, almost deafened me when I went there to see my grandson a few years back.
The Look of It
Now, these jerseys, they ain’t your regular old Mets getup. They got all sorts of fancy designs and colors, not just that plain blue and orange. I seen pictures, some fellas wearin’ dark shirts with purple and grey, some with a “24” on the arm, I hear that’s for that fella, what’s his name…Mays? Yeah, that’s the one, real shame what happened to him. They say it’s supposed to represent somethin’ special about the city. To be honest, it looks a bit busy to me. Like them quilts my niece makes, all them fancy little scraps sewed together.
- Jerseys: Like I said, they got all sorts of colors and designs. Some look alright, some look like a dog’s breakfast. But hey, that’s just my opinion.
- Hats: They got hats too, matchin’ the jerseys. Some got that fancy NY logo, some got other stuff on ’em. A hat’s a hat, I always say. Keeps the sun outta your eyes, that’s all that matters.
- Other Stuff: And then there’s all sorts of other things, shirts and whatnot. They call it “apparel,” sounds like somethin’ you’d wear to a funeral. They even got them little knick-knacks, like them mugs my other grandson collects, clutterin’ up the house somethin’ awful.
Where to Find It
Now, if you want to get your hands on this here “City Connect Gear,” you gotta go to the right places. They say you can get it online, at the “official MLB store.” Sounds fancy. Or you can go to “FansEdge,” whatever that is. Probably some big store in the city, like that Macy’s my daughter likes so much. I bet it costs an arm and a leg too.
Everybody’s Got One…Almost
Seems like every team’s gettin’ in on this “City Connect” business. They say most teams got ’em now, except for them Yankees and that other team, the A’s. Guess they’re too good for it, or maybe they just ain’t figured out what their “city spirit” looks like yet. Heck, I don’t know.
New Stuff Comin’ All the Time
And they keep makin’ new ones! This year they got a whole bunch of new teams gettin’ their own “City Connect” stuff. Guardians, Tigers, Dodgers, Twins, Mets again, Phillies, Cardinals… Sounds like a whole lotta new jerseys and hats and whatnots. Keeps them fellas busy over at that Nike place. Although, some folks are complainin’ about those Nike fellas and that Fanatics company makin’ these things. Sayin’ they ain’t doin’ a good job. Always somethin’ to complain about these days.
Mets City Connect: My Take
So, what do I think about this whole “Mets City Connect Gear” thing? Well, it’s alright, I guess. If you like fancy lookin’ clothes and you got the money to spend, go ahead and buy it. But me, I’m fine with my old Mets shirt. It’s comfortable, it fits good, and it shows I’m a fan, that’s all that matters. This fancy new stuff looks a bit much for me. A plain old jersey is good enough. But hey, that’s just me. You young folks, you like what you like, and that’s just fine.
Is it worth it? That’s up to you. I ain’t tellin’ ya what to do with your money. But if you ask me, a good hot dog and a cold beer at the game is a better way to spend your hard-earned cash. At least you get somethin’ to eat and drink for your money!
Last Words
So there you have it, my two cents on this “Mets City Connect Gear.” Take it or leave it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Got a pot roast in the oven and it ain’t gonna cook itself!
And remember, support your team, whether they got fancy clothes on or not. It’s the game that matters, not the uniform.
That’s all I gotta say about that.
