Pic is From @metspolice's annual FSF design post
Here is the chain of Tweets that went back and forth last night over the Aug 23rd Free Shirt Friday design. I am putting this out there now. I do not think that the design is a copy of Joe's work. I also don't think the Mets "stole" Joe's(aka @grafixjoker) design. I could be wrong but I think Joe posted it around the first week of July.
My opinion is someone saw what Joe did and was like that is not a bad concept. Maybe if we did this and this to change this it is different enough that it's an original idea, which is fine. I was just pointing out how coincidental it was. It could be that two different folks had the same concept. That's fine. Darren( Yes, Darren is one of my good buddies) thinks it is a different look and doesn't think it's too similar.
Bottom Line is the design stolen? No. Are the two concepts similar? Yes. Do I get as Chris Capella says a lot of internal hoops to go through to get designs done? Yep, I know that. Were there some shenanigans? Possibly? I don't know.
Everything is so coincidental. Though if I was a conspiracist this could be a fun rabbit hole to fall down.
WHOA @mediagoon did you see that - the Mets actually designed a nice looking Free Shirt Friday! (Polar Bear one)— metspolice.com (@metspolice) August 14, 2019
You mean the design that came out after @GrafixJoker and the one Alonso has been wearing? pic.twitter.com/lKPmDP5Y7d— keith blacknick (@Mediagoon) August 14, 2019
Joe’s design is great — it is also not “stolen”. There is a long internal process going through designs for FSF. Keith you are in a position more than others to ask about this if curious.— Chris Cappella (@C_Cappella) August 14, 2019
Never said it was stolen.There are plenty of sites that steal his and other artists work. I said it was similar and also very coincidental how it came out way after Joe's. It's different in execution but same in thought.— keith blacknick (@Mediagoon) August 14, 2019

Who says Breuer-Gate is done? And I really wouldn’t call it shirt-gate. But it does seem short design adjacent.— keith blacknick (@Mediagoon) August 14, 2019
This is a reach. GJ’s design looks like he’s kinda transforming in to the bear, the Mets one is a solid drop shadow. Similar, but not really.— Darren Meenan (@DarrenJMeenan) August 14, 2019
I know it a bad look to defend the Mets here. Both designs are great, but not really the same idea to me.— Darren Meenan (@DarrenJMeenan) August 14, 2019
Not a bad look to defend. You can. But it’s a similar idea that came out after Joe’s.— keith blacknick (@Mediagoon) August 14, 2019
