Let's revisit that Citi Field Inaugural Season patch.

I’m glad I could bring you such joy.

It could be worse, though I guess if something were mis-spelled we would at least get a chuckle out of that.

just because a D- is somehow funnier than an F.

I gave it an F anyway though.

I give it a D- for using correct color schemes, spelling things correctly, and for reminding me to get tasty pizza.

Since the design is so dumb—all straight lines, two colors, and text—I didn’t even need Photoshop. A regular old desktop publishing program did the trick.

…or it could be that everyone involved is a stupid idiot with no taste.

You forgot lazy.

However, I care just a bit. And it does suck.

if it gives the wilpons more money to sign better players they can call it whatever they want. though of course the historic names do sound cooler. i’d prefer less of the fetish over the old ebbits feild and the brooklyn dodgers though. the dodgers are still around. the mets have nothing to do with the dodgers and i dont see why current fans should be paying homage to ebbits feild. screw that place, ive never been there, it means nothing to me.

Made in U.S.A.? F’n lazy / lack of imagination! Poor quality! Cheaply made! Wait, I’m describing the cars.

It’s the small things that matter man. If you let one small thing go, then you’re wiling to let it domino into bigger things. First the patch, then the jersey, then the locker room, then the concessionaires, then the General Manager (wait)…You get my drift.

The patch, especially the inaugural patch is a badge. Maybe not as meaningful but comparable to the badge of a policeman or firefighter. Perhaps the person/people/invalids who designed this patch could have used a compilation of the following ideas:

• Display an item from the past. Hell, two worlds series trophies right? Incorporate that into it somehow. The two trophies show what you’ve accomplished and what you’re building on.
• If I’m not mistaken the rotunda at Citi Field is going to represent Jackie Robinson correct? Incorporate his number in there somehow.
• Keep the original NY logo.
• Fade the facade of the stadium into the patch.
• The words Citi Field (in their respective font) can ring the logo: Citi (in red) on top, Field (in blue) on the bottom. The rest of the patch remains orange and blue.

There’s just too much innovative technology and imagination out there to settle for something like this.
