This is from @rockies.
I am a tad confused since this is a Mets home jersey (and I think a Rockies road jersey – I am not a Rockies expert)
I tweeted at the Rockies to learn more.
Expect the Mets to let everyone know about this around 4:30 on Tuesday.
Maybe they are doing it to commemorate the Rockies first ever game, which was at the Mets, so these would be the uniforms worn in their first ever regular season game.
The Rockies first game in franchise history was at Shea Stadium in 1993 so I assume they are recreating the aesthetics of that match-up.
I bet that is the case. The Rockies first home game was against the Expos. I can’t imagine Washington donning the Expos throwbacks.
