Mets City Connect Uniforms

[IndianSummer]

I guess I just don’t get some of the city connect uniforms.
Some of them doesn’t in anyway make me think of the city/teams

The White Sox do with the black white pinstripes and the South Side on the jersey
Wrigleyville for the Cubs is good, although if they are wearing them sometimes I will dump the blue pants for the white home pants. White Sox as well.

The Mets does not make me think of Queens, Padres makes me think about my mom when she was doing art work with pastels.
Reds nope. Giants although the Golden gate on the shoulders is cool, the rest of it isn’t.

Rockies are good.
Rangers…..not really.

Anyway, just my take.

"The Padres created a binational theme that pays homage to the Hispanic culture prevalent in a city close to the border shared by Mexico and the United States. They accentuated pink, mint and yellow, vibrant colors seen throughout the Baja peninsula, on a uniform that pays homage to a region with unique social dynamics"

I'm not from San Diego, so I didn't know this, but it helps to know the reason behind the city connects to understand why they came up with what they did. Someone (I'm not saying you) who just looks at the uniform without the reason behind it, might just say I don't get it.

A lot of them don't make sense if you just look at them, and make more sense when you read the release that explains everything.

The Mets uniforms make them look like the Yankees, so that is at least some kind of connection.

I am absolutely that guy, I haven’t read much about any of them or if I did, i didn’t retain it.

I did some research on a few of them, it appears the Reds is running an old “C” logo on the caps but everything else was meant to appeal to the younger audience and really has no other city connection.

Yeah the Reds city connects didn't appear to be any real city history significance

I don't see the Yankees in any part of those uniforms.
