Isn’t “retro” another word for “backwards”? It fits, don’t it?

But the d-backs did win a World Series in those purple, green and blue uniforms, so that shoots down your whole have-to-look-like-a-winner argument. Then they changed direction and copied the Astros new red uniforms, which I presume they got at a step discount, because it defies all other logic.

The problem is they couldn't even get this right; instead of properly throwing back to the original uniforms, they're just taking the current home pins and changing the the white to a cream, without removing the ugly black dropshadow. Compare this Seaver jersey to the one you posted a pic of above. The black makes the new "retro" a cheap imitation.

Not to mention that SNY is bringing Keith Hernandez back to the booth with Gary and Ron. I’m no Mets fan, but that broadcast team is one of the best around.

If they bring back Seaver, I will watch them again.
May GOD have mercy on the Mets. Pray for them, they need it.
