It’s been a season full of magical moments for Mets fans – and graphic designer Dan Abrams has been there to capture them.

“I mean, there's Grimace and OMG, but also plays that happened on the field,” he said. “The Pete home run is an all time Met home run, Lindor’s home run in Atlanta was an all time home run — and that's only in the last two weeks.”

  • He's created many popular designs in homage to the New York Mets, including drawings of big moments in the style of Shea Stadium's neon artwork

Abrams has made a career of capturing those big moments on t-shirts and ball caps under the name "Athlete Logos." One of his earliest successes came from channeling his childhood memories of Shea Stadium, and the neon ballplayers that adorned the outside of the ballpark.

“When we drove to or from Shea, that was the first thing you saw from so far away, especially during a night game. So they were iconic to me. That was what I remember the most. I remember this — this park — and I remember the neons,” he said.

When he started drawing Mets moments in the style of the neon artwork, the reaction was immediate.

“Every time they win, I do one for each game. And like I said, people in the 30- to 50-year-old age group really resonate with them,” he said.

He also creates logos and designs for specific players, and sends them his work. Pitcher Kodai Senga has worn a cap featuring a logo Abrams created for his “ghost fork” pitch. Catcher Francisco Alvarez sported a shirt that bore his nickname, El Troll, and another honoring the hero of this Mets season: Grimace.

“Every time, I feel like a 5-year-old, like a kid. My favorite player is wearing my shirt. So it's always surreal, every time,” Abrams said.

More recently, players commissioned Abrams directly, reaching out ahead of their last playoff homestand with a request.

“I got a message from one of them who said, 'We want to do a shirt. Can you design King Kong on the Empire State Building with the OMG sign?' And I immediately started, I went back and forth on a couple of designs and they ordered them,” Abrams said. “We got them rushed to come to Citi Field for the Tuesday game and then all they wore, they ordered 40 of them and all of them wore it before the game, which was such a thrill.”

Like all Mets fans, Abrams is hoping the thrill isn’t over anytime soon.
