I hope it's grey.

Jeez. It didn't even occur to me that the new unis might be (shudder) black.

[Channel9]

This is never good news.

[Centerfield]

I hope they are gray too. If not, I'd be fine with blue.



I liked these from a few years ago.

I'm hoping:



1. No black. Especially not the black without the white outline.

2. No script letters.

3. No block letters.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Some guy on the internet is showing a "leak" as a blue top with New York in orange outlined script ala the Friday blacks.

I hope it's gay.



I realize we have to mess with everything, but the Mets' roadie greys are objectively about as Platonic-ideal perfect as any road uniform ever, going back at least to the time of Philip of Macedon.

Picking up on what Bucket posted , hopefully this is not it

[Bob Alpacadaca]

I don't hate that as long as it is in addition to, and not replacing, the gray version.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pullover tho

[Edgy MD]

I might tolerate them wearing that for six-to-eight games per year, if they added six-to-eight more games to the schedule per year.



Actually, I think it's kind of awful.

I always thought the armor they had to wear when on the road ruined the look.

[Frayed Knot]

So I assume this design was chosen based on how many fans liked the script New York design on the 1980s uniforms.

Ask Keith and Ron about those. Both were particularly enamored with them.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

That design is on the road batting practice caps, too!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The neckline is the same as the Nationals pullover. Haven't seen the back but would guess the numbers utilize the same outline style as the new blacks

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What color pants go with this? Grey would be the safe choice but don't put it past the Mets to go monochrome with blue pants.



I'd like to see them try orange 🍊

[metirish]

Looks like the above top got unveiled today at Mets Fest

[metirish]

Baty will wear #7

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wow, first since Stroman 1st year

[G-Fafif]

Baty said he grew up watching Reyes and Mauer, thus 7.

[Edgy MD]

Very happy for Baty that he retains enough juice to make this move.

[G-Fafif]

New jersey isn't as ugly as the “City Connect.”

But it has still quite bad.

[TransMonk]

Unnecessary.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Someone here tried to keep track of how many times each different Met jersey was worn last year.



Here's a chart, and the link:

I'm a traditionalist, I feel like they should be wearing white at home and gray on the road. I would have rather they brought back the '87 uniform style in white/pinstripes or even just the original grays with that font.

[Lefty Specialist]

That's an ugly jersey. Hard to read, for one thing. And I thought that dumb script had been banished forever.

On the one hand, I sort of agree with you. On the other hand, I'm so over this stuff, so worn down and beaten down by the bomardment of uniform variations that are now a regular, constant part of the game, that I'm afraid to say this, but I barely give a shit any more. Used to be that I would go apeshit over stuff like this, but not anymore. I think that it's the City Connect unis that finally did this to me, that were the last nail in my uniform coffin, so to speak. Those City Connects are all hideous. Comically hideous. Tasteless. Garish. And stupid. And yet people love the Mets City Connects because --- get this ---- because they're (supposedly) not as ugly as some of the worst City Connect unis. That' the logic and justification for those hideousities. I give up. At this point, I don't think I'd give a shit if the Mets wore their Mercury Mets tops for an entire season.
