What Jersey to Get, and Custom Home Pin Authentics?

Discussion
  1. I can't find custom home pinstripes in authentic (not replica) on the site... http://shop.mlb.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=717432 --any pointers?

  2. I will list my current jerseys, any tips on what i should get?

Mine now:

  • deGrom home pins
  • Matz home pins (was at the debut)
  • Wright home pins giveaway (kinda cheap feeling and a bit large)
  • Current BP jersey
  • Mid 2000s BP jersey (the blue and black)
  • Black Away Jersey, 2000 WS
  • Home pinstripes with dropshadow text
  • an ancient cheap giveaway jersey

And that's it for what I have (I think)

Meanwhile, my prime candidates:

  • Nieuwenhuis home pins (I'm not sure I want another home pins jersey but I was in attendance in left field at the Kirk Nieuwenhuis three homer game)
  • Conforto anything at all (I'm not sure which is want, maybe home blues or away grays? Conforto is a stud and the Mets' future)
  • d'Arnaud anything at all (Also not sure on this one at all, Travy is great but I don't know)
  • Cespedes anything at all (Really not sure here, definitely up for getting myself a tee but not sure about getting a jersey for a player who'll be a free agent)
  • Wright anything at all (I love the captain like any other straight man should, but I'm unsure if I need a wright jersey exactly-- it's basically a no brainier though)
  • Granderson
  • Duda
  • Uribe (great clubhouse guy)
  • Cuddy (same, despite early tendencies to GIDP)
  • Carlos Torres away blues. What a play.
  • Familia? Just so many heroes this year.

A few which I'd like to avoid:

  • Harvey: I'm not a huge fan of the off field Harvey. Also I think he's kinda been overplayed this year... A lot.
  • Murph: I'm not the hugest fan of Murph either and he's a FA this winter.
  • Bartolo: I'm not sure I have the room for that kind of jersey. Kidding. In all seriousness he's a a candidate because he's just such a guy. He's in his last year but how can you not love Bartolo?
  • Mejia: fuck Mejia

And suggestions? Both for player and variety of jersey.

My favorite designs in order:

  1. away grays
  2. Home pins
  3. Home blues
  4. BP
  5. Away blues

Although they're all pretty good.

And for the record, I do not want to ever buy a camo jersey don't even get me started
