The 'Ropolitans

I'm sure by now you've all seen the absolutely miserable design (if you can even call it that) on the Mets inaugural patch for Citi Field in 2009.

Well, combining my lack of anything truly productive to do and my semi-decent Photoshop skills, I decided to take a stab at designing a better patch. I came up with three. Two of them are takes on the current design and the third goes in a different, somewhat better direction.

First, for reference, here is the patch that will be worn in 2009:
Patch 1 -- Original:
Now here are my takes on it.
Patch 2 -- "Arches":
Patch 3 -- "Backdrop":
Patch 4 -- "Oval":Which one tickles your fancy?
