Yankees, Mets Ugly That Shit Up

No team in baseball had thought to put a patch on the back of their hat. Or at least if someone had thought of it, they were quickly fired because it's a stupid idea.

Cut to the Yankees and their new "Mallpark" of a stadium. The inception of this ridiculously expensive, taxpayer-funded boondoggle requires its own commemoration, right? And what better place to put a commemorative patch than... (wait for it...) the back of the hat! Take a gander at this:

The patch itself is fine, it's the location that's sub-moronic. Can you believe that they're actually going to wear this hat during actual regulation baseball games?

Bad location wasn't enough for the Mets. No, they have taken patch-wearing to a previously unheard of level, by creating the ugliest patch in major league baseball history. I swear this was designed by some lower-level lackey who learned photoshop at the community college.


Lackey #1: Mr. Wilpon, we should probably commemorate the opening of the new park somehow.
Wilpon: Excellent, Lackey #1! But how?
Lackey #2: Let's have a patch designed which we can place on the back of the team's caps!
Lackey #1: On the back of the caps? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Wilpon: There's no way we could afford such a thing. And I'd never put it on the back of the caps. That's idiotic.
Lackey#2: Well, on the sleeve then. And don't worry about the cost, Mr. Wilpon. I just took a photoshop course at the community college. I'll design it myself!
Wilpon: Perfect!,
