Mets players help design merch, fail miserably

There’s black jersey ugly.  There’s Mercury Mets ugly.  And then there’s this.ShirtSome Mets players have “designed” jerseys and shirts with their own personal flair.  I’ve never seen such a train wreck.

Here’s an excerpt from the MLB article:Shirt

Murphy built off his Irish heritage by infusing the Mets' classic road look with both the color green and a logo of a clover over his signature.

Parnell went with "earth tones" -- brown with camouflage lettering -- to give his merchandise an outdoors look that is big in his native North Carolina.

Putz strove for a patriotic feel, going with  a camouflage jersey with red, white and blue lettering. Putz also produced an elaborate T-shirt design with his name in gothic letters above  two eagles and a home plate bearing the Mets' interlocking "NY" logo.

Santos paid homage to his native country with a Mets logo that integrated the Puerto Rican flag in the background. His T-shirt consisted of a big picture of Santos in catching gear.

You really have to see all of them.  They’re just that bad.

Thankfully it’s just for fashion and none of the Mets will be running onto the field in this garbage.
