Good morning.
I mentioned yesterday (which was picked up by some outlets) that the Mets appear to be changing their black caps.
Well, here’s your content for today.
MLB has already announced that Nike is tweaking the design for all 30 teams, with new sizes for NOB and front numbers. There is also a new design called the “Vapor Jersey” – you can see the Arizona versions if you google a bit.
I have been told a few times over the past few months by various sources that the Mets City Connect Jersey is black. Yesterday, it was whispered to me that the design of the new cap is to match the design of the City Connect jersey.
A version of the plan I am hearing is that the Mets will lean into the City Connect jersey as part of the Black Fridays thing.
I haven’t seen anything official about the Mets doing this in 2024, so I’m not ready to declare it. It could just be that the new Vapor design doesn’t have white trim.
The Phillies, Blue Jays and Cardinals are scheduled to have CC jerseys in 2024. That’s just three teams. Seems like Nike and MLB would want to introduce more than that….. say a black City Connect Mets jersey.
We’ll know soon enough.
