That would allow the Mets to further resemble to Dodgers, but if you&#8217;re going to copy an NL team, you could do worse. Do you think this addition might mean they cashier the all-black look or would they dare mix and match four looks? I dunno. And I wish they&#8217;d come to realize the two-tone hat is just awful and derserved to die years ago already.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured here are a few of the alterna-prototypes the Mets asked season-ticket holders to consider earlier this year.
