The New York Mets' City Connect uniforms have shed the team's traditional blue and orange color palette for a mix of graphite and purple.
The new jerseys, which were released on Friday morning, pay homage to the heartbeat of New York City, including nods to its bridges, trains and concrete that connect the team's fans.
The new color scheme is designed to represent the concrete jungle of New York City, with the purple accents representing the 7 Line — the subway which runs through Queens to Citi Field. The gray pinstriped uniforms feature "NYC" across the chest in the Mets' traditional road font, with the hat and pants featuring imagery of the Queensboro Bridge.
When will the Mets wear City Connect uniforms?
The Mets will debut their City Connect uniforms on the field on April 27 against the St. Louis Cardinals at Citi Field. They will wear the designs for all 10 Saturday home games (except June 1) over the course of the 2024 season.
"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 a statement. “From the bridges to the trains to the streets, Mets fans across New York and beyond can wear this streetwear style look with pride.”
What do the Mets' City Connect uniforms mean?
The black pinstripes on the jerseys are the circles and diamonds that represent the local and express lines on the subway. While the circular patch on the left arm is a nod to the New York Subway token.
The inside of the new hat's features a colorful twisting design to represent the New York subway map. The bottom of the top features the words "The World's City" in a purple font.
The team teased the new designs over the last two weeks with videos featuring a purple Mets logo, along with subway and crosswalk imagery.
