1980s Mets Pants - Quick sanity check please...

[TNTtoys]

All,

I have seen more than my fair share of 1980s Mets pants, and am a bit perplexed by a photo showing Randy Niemann in a pair of pants that don't quite fit the mold.

The photo of course can be one of a few things, so I was hoping to get a quick sanity check from other Mets collectors here...

Options:

1. The pants are really white home pinstripe pants but the sunlight has drowned out the pinstripes. (doubtful)

2. The pants are really gray road pants but the sunlight has made them appear white in the photo (likely)

3. These are white pants without pinstripes (I have never seen any evidence to support such a style)

Below the Randy Niemann photo, I am including photos of the regular home and road pants of that era for comparison.
