If You Build It, They Will Lock in a Competitive 2.25% APY With a Six-Month CD

The Mets unveiled the new CitiField logo today, with much fanfare... and it's... well, pretty weak, frankly. Isn't this just the Citibank logo, with orange and blue squares? At an angle?



That $20 million/year Citibank is giving the Mets will pay for much of Johan Santana, and that's probably worth it. But this image, to me, says nothing about the crack of the bat, the buzz of the crowd, the elegance of a well-turned double play, or the majesty of a towering home run -- let alone Queens, or New York, or the character of the Mets. This says "refinance your mortgage".


Bring your kiddies, bring your wife, earn 4.00% APY when you make two online bill payments each calendar month

Your headline is pure gold!

To be fair, I should add that the ballpark itself looks pretty awesome... I'm an unabashed sucker for Dodgers nostalgia.

Oh ick, you are so right about that logo.

I think that the logo looks like the Domino's Pizza logo.
