Obviously this means nothing but... thought it was a bit of fun

Shorthand = the 2025 Mets did poorly on the road.

It would be nice if they could restore those road greys to their former glory. They might not be able to get the texture back with the current material, but it would be nice if they could at least get color tone and the font size right.

[Centerfield]

We went with the three-stripe piping of the late 70s early 80s and the script from 1987.

How on earth did we did we not think this year would be a disaster.

All of those uniforms — other than the classic white with blue pinstripes — are ghastly. Edited October 25, 2025 by Gwreck

[TransMonk]

Agreed.

[Centerfield]

I agree too. I liked the home blue uniform. I thought that was a nice alternative.

I also liked the classic road gray. This version sucks.

[ashie62]

Yes here also

[whippoorwill]

I still like the City unis

[Cowtipper]

I like the black ones, because that's what I grew up with.

Don't get the City Connect colors. Not seeing the allure of brutalist, bleak grey.

[Edgy MD]

I do not really associate that color with brutalism. I think most would describe it as a "slate grey" or "graphite."

Brutalism features the lighter tones of exposed concrete, like beach sand. Dirty beach sand, eventually, but beach sand.

I'm a classic pinstripe guy. All the others are 'meh'.

I did like those blue home jerseys, though. Much better than the black where you can't read the names or numbers without squinting.

[The Hot Corner]

I'm definitely a fan of the pinstripes. I would prefer they wear them more. I personally believe that the Mets (and most teams) have far too many uniforms styles/combination. All you should need is a classic home (blue pinstipes) and a set away (updated version of the gray) uniform, add a rare special occasion uniform and that's enough. I know it's about marketing and having more styles and products of merchandise, but I am a rather simplistic guy.

[Centerfield]

My old man thoughts on uniforms.

Home Pinstripes. I'm just ok with them. But they're the classic uniform. They should be worn the majority of home games.

Black Uniforms. This is easy. Get rid of them. It was fine when they brought back the classic black unis as a once in a while thing, but the new ones are neither nostalgic or relevant. Plus they're ugly, and without the white outline, the orange gets lost and looks like pink. Put these out to pasture.

City Connects. I don't like the entire idea of city connect uniforms. I think introducing a uniform with another set of colors dilutes the uniformity that you see among fans at the game. Nothing better than seeing a sea of blue with orange mixed in. How you see gray, and purple. Eh. That being said, if we have to have a city connect, these particular uniforms are fine.

Road Gray. The classic road gray is as close to perfection as you can get. I don't know why you'd ever want to bring back the piping from the late 70s, early 80s Mets. It's ugly and it takes you back to a bad time in Mets history. Restore the classic gray, and wear it the majority of road games.

Road Blue. I like the concept of a road blue. In fact, I like the idea of an alternative jersey that is primarily blue. As I mentioned, I don't like the piping, and I hate the 1987 script.

If I were king:

Home Games: Home pinstripes the majority of the time. Alternate home blue jersey, similar to this one.

Away Games. Classic gray the majority of the time, alternate blue jerseys, design TBD.

From M. Donald Grant's wiki page:

 

He changed the team's jerseys from button-down to Henley-style and added blue-orange-blue stripes to the collars, sleeves and the sides of the pants beginning with the 1978 campaign.

 

Yeah, put me down for hating anything introduced by M. Donald Grant.
