It’s still unclear which jersey this replaces as you’re only allowed 4 plus City Connect….and I stand by what I have been saying about the lettering. Because they didn’t fill in the orange, they will be illegible from more than 5 feet away. An unforced error and really really solvable.
At least they aren’t black. The Mets have done far worse things in their life, but this are kinda unnecessary, especially when the traditional road jerseys are perfect.

Note the design has left handed and right handed versions so you can see the sponsor tag on TV. Unifoms should be….uniform, no?
And for younger fans, the Mets wore this lettering for one season, the ill-fated 1987. May all the demons from 1987 visit Lindor, who you may remember, booed the fans, an unforgivable sin.
Even Tom Seaver wore one during his almost-comeback.
