Orioles Fan
Mistaken for an Orioles fan.
I don’t really care what the Mets color scheme is, what uniforms they wear, or what symbols they use. The Citi Field logo isn’t great, but I just don’t care. Some fans dislike that the Mets every incorporated black into their apparel. I personally don’t care, although I like sticking to the history of the blue and orange from the Dodgers and Giants. Tangently, I really thought the All-Star jerseys worn in
However, I do like variety. I was annoyed that the Diamondbacks ditched the purple. I actually like some of the older 80s style flashy uniforms. I dislike teams looking the same, everyone wearing the same grays and whites and pinstripes.
The other day I was out at a restaurant, wearing a black and orange Mets shirt that I’d gotten cheap somewhere. One of the servers came over to me and said “Nice shirt”
, and happened to start talking baseball. He mentioned some third base prospect I’d never heard of, and since I don’t follow prospects or hot stove too closely, I figured he meant 2B, and it was some guy the Mets were looking at as a possible Castillo replacement. I gave a suitably vague answer, and he walked away, but I still felt confused. Then it dawned on me that he didn’t actually see the front of my shirt, merely the colors, and I (which he came over and verified later) correctly assumed that he mistook me for an Orioles fan.
Must be sad times in
