Gave @Metspolice heads up, so I'm stealing this.

 I really can't add much to this topic today, so I am just stealing the whole thing from Metspolice.com. From time to time the old guy has some good stuff.

That guy @mediagoon put this under my nose.

Is it just a logo?  Is it the “real” logo – more on that in a second.  Will there be a patch?  Should there be a patch?

10 years ago we had this…

…which I find to be a nicer design.

My brain remembered there being a different 50th patch for a while.

A post on SportsLogos.net says

I was at the game last night at CitiField, and a friend of mine bought a custom jersey. Instead of the 50th anniversary patch we all know on the sleeve, there was a different patch.

It was blue with an orange “50”, Mr. Met swinging a bat, and at the bottom a gold banner reading 1962-2012. Really nice patch.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there photographic evidence of its existence anywhere on the internet?

I went through the archives and I don’t seem to have the Other Patch….but it’s in my brain that it happened.   I also think I have a jersey with the Other Patch in my closet, but it’s not even 7am yet and the family is sleeping.

Anyone remember Other Patch?

What do you think of this 60th logo?

Do we need 60th patches on the jerseys?

Man 10 years goes by fast.

UPDATE: Much thanks to Swimmin’ for finding what I was thinking of.  Also many people saying this was used on Replica jerseys.

Some predictions for 2022….

February.  The lockout marches on.

March 15th, the lockout ends.  MLB will play a 144 game schedule. Teams will just play the final 144 games of the original schedule and too bad if that’s unfair.  Spring Training begins in three days.

March 27th:  Jacob deGrom throws 100mph in Spring Training and the media fawns over it.

April 22nd:  the Mets open the season at Arizona.  Jacob deGrom pitches 8 innings of shutout ball but gets a no-decision as the Mets lose in teh bottom of the 9th.

April 24th:  the Mets are swept in Arizona.  The millennials start wondering if baseball has passed Buck Showalter by.

April 29th: On a rainy evening, the Mets unveil the Seaver statue at 6:30pm on a Friday before the replacement-home-opener night game.  It is an underwhelming ceremony because of the circumstances.  Brandon Nimmo has a good game and is greeted with “Let’s Go Brandon” cheers.

May 1st:  Pete Alonso has yet to homer.

May 25th:  the Mets skip JDG again.  There’s an off-day tomorrow and this way he has a nice long rest before the divisional game against the Phillies.  The beat just accepts that this makes sense.

June 21st:  In Houston, Pete Alonso homers twice.  Wayne Randazzo does some math and has Pete on pace to hit 45 HRs.

July 8th:  Metallica sues the Mets for file-sharing some of their songs on a computer located at Citi Field.  It turns out that it is Billy Eppler’s computer.  He is suspended while the Mets investigate further.

July 11th:  the Mets head to Atlanta two games back.  Pete Alonso homers 5 times in the series.  Wayne Randazzo does some math and has Pete on pace to hit 45 HRs.  The Mets however do not have enough starting pitching and lose two of three and leave Atlanta three games back.
