Last week I wrote about the really nice Oakland A's cap in green with the yellow brim. Just like some people think those colors don't mix, there are people that think the Mets team colors of orange and blue don't mix. I might tend to agree in other cases, but on the Mets cap, it just works for me. The colors supposedly come from the main colors of the two National League teams that left New York City in the middle of the last century: Dodger blue and Giants orange. The Mets organization was trying to drum up support by adopting the colors of those two much-loved baseball teams that left many a New Yorker broken-hearted.
To me, the color scheme of this cap is just playful and fun. It's a stark contrast to the dour and somber colors of the Yankees. When I see a person wearing Mets gear I think, There's a person who knows how to have fun and likes to party. When I see someone in Yankees gear, on the other hand, I think that person is probably an anal-retentive prick who takes himself too seriously.
