The Mets officially unveiled their City Connect jerseys Friday, featuring New York City-inspired elements.
The jerseys will be worn every for each Saturday home game beginning April 27 against the Cardinals, save for a June 1 game against the Diamondbacks.
“Our new City Connect uniforms are an homage to everything that makes NYC the greatest city in the world. We wanted to honor different parts of the city that connect to our home in Queens.” Mets Chief Marketing Officer Andy Goldberg said in the team’s release.
“From the bridges to the trains to the streets, Mets fans across New York and beyond can wear this streetwear style look with pride.”
The jerseys feature several Big Apple elements, including circles and diamonds from the subway system, a sleeve patch designed to represent a New York City subway token, the color purple in homage to the 7-Line train that goes directly to Citi Field, an inscription of “The World’s City” to highlight New York’s diversity, an outline of the Queensboro bridge on the front of the cap and “New York City” written on the inside of the cap alongside lines designed to represent the New York City subway system.
