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.
