Re: December Pick-ups

Does it have anything to do with the eras the players played or if some are in cooperstown or the mets hall of fame?

Re: December Pick-ups

DCRULES ok I am probably asking a dumb question but I am curious why is flynn wearing a Majestic Throwback and I noticed the guys to the right of him in the picture are wearing Mitchell & Ness Throwbacks????

I am not taking anything away from your jersey, i just found it odd the Mets would have 2 different manufacturers make jerseys for the same game/ceremony.

My guess is that the various companies made the different styles of repro jerseys that the players wore during the playing time. Just like the Yankees wore during the last game...

Re: December Pick-ups

No idea I would have thought Mitchell and Ness would have done them since Majestic never released this style and Mitchell and Ness did.The way I see it Mitchell and ness did early 60's to early 70's and Majestic did early 80's to current.I love this style it's my favorite and have been in search for a Flynn gamer for a few years with no luck.So this was cool he wore it during the ceremony..Here is the Mitchell and Ness authentic was a Bobby V I striped it making it into a 78 Youngblood...

That was my thinking maybe Majestic could not get the material..What happened to the Yankees ones worn did the players keep them??

Re: December Pick-ups

Knit v Flannel and different eras are both correct answers. Mitchell & Ness reproduced the Joe Torre era two button pullover unis.

A different manufacturer reproduced a flannel version of the '60s Mets home unis with a uni number on the front and back. This was the only flannel version worn during those ceremonies. Thus, Frank Thomas appeared in a historically inacurrate uni. Frank's uni had a number on the front of his jersey, even though his Met stint ended in 1964, before the Mets began to wear uni numbers on the front of their jerseys.

George Theodore, Felix Millan and Willie Mays also appeared in this flannel uni even though their Met stints were exclusively in the doubleknit era. A doubleknit version of the Mets 72-77 uni was not made for Shea's closing festivities.

Re: December Pick-ups

Edit: I meant to write that M&N produced the flannels, but not the manager Torre eras Instead of the other way around.

How do I edit my post?
