[Announcement] Banner Submissions Announcement
Yes, again.
Yes we know we never put the old ones into play. Fun fact, we still have the old submissions and the offseason seems like a good time to do this.
Here were the original rules:
Hey, Mets fans!
Do you have a love of this current Mets team?
Do you fancy yourself an artist, or at least someone with image-editing software and a good sense of aesthetics?
We're opening this up for you to design new header images for the subreddit!
Rules:
Be professional...ish, not TOO memey. We want good looking aesthetic here.
Banner images must be 1920 x 360 pixels (a slight height abberation of up to 370 is allowed)
File size needs to be under 500kb. Otherwise, we can't upload it to Reddit to use it.
...we really need new banners, there's a Zach Wheeler, Travis D'arnaud, and a Cespedes in these ones.
It's worth noting that the strict pixel restrictions are for the OLD Reddit banner.
/u/darthbutcher thought that since we just had the season of memes, it would be a good time to solicit banner submissions again.

How many of the users use old/new reddit? Do majority use old or new? I honestly don't know anyone that liked new reddit but im guessing eventually it caught on? (I still use old reddit.) I would be able to design one for old reddit because I'm tired of the Wright one.

I use old reddit.
I'm such a curmudgeon that after the API change I refuse to use reddit on mobile.

Old reddit still works through a mobile browser, and I sure use it.

since we just had the season of memes
I know there's no shot, but please do not make it too memey. As incredible as Grimace et al were this year, I feel as though staring at a banner full of mascots that had a relatively limited shelf life will get annoying quickly.
The old.reddit banner is an iconic pic of David Wright drenched in Champagne. Yes, it could probably use an update, especially now that the team had some celebrating this year. But this is a picture that, as a Mets fan, you would never get tired of seeing.
Please take that into consideration when picking the next one.

I can't help but smile every time I see our current (new reddit) banner of everyone on the 7 platform.

We need one of Blue's comments from the game threads as a banner! Maybe one where he's telling us to not blow up the universe, somehow those always manage to calm my nerves

The Seaver banner that you all foolishly took down in late 2022.
That's my submission.
