The Mets officially unveiled their City Connect jerseys Friday , featuring New York City-inspired elements.

The jerseys will be worn 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 a statement.

The Mets released a hype video that features the players showing off the new threads and relies on the IYKYK acronym — “If you know, you know” — with the Mets logo between the first K and the second Y.

A second video, set to the sounds of Gang Starr’s “Work,” features, per the Mets, BMX rider Nigel Sylvester, rapper/producer Large Professor, artist Futura 2000, influencer Jaeki Cho and actor/writer Anthony Ramos, along with players Edwin Diaz, Kodai Senga and Francisco Lindor.

“If you know New York,” Diaz says, before Senga follows with “You know it’s the World’s City,” and Lindor closes with: “If you know New York, you know how much of it went into this jersey.”
