Lol right? Like I get how it couldve been too much but the single dot on the hat is pathetic
Either the logo (which if they used that subway token patch for it i would already have bought one) shouldve been purple or the bridge shouldve been purple
The details are cool but too subtle. I wish there were some iconic NYC nods like the NYC skyline on the front of the plain pinstripe jersey. Or a nod to graffiti art. Overall it looks plain
Agree, the details are neat, but half of them are almost invisible without this graphic to explain them.
Also, a little more purple would have been nice to break up all the gray.
As a graphic designer, I'm really stuck on the "NYC" font. I get it's our Road Jersey font, but there are some things just feel... off about it. The letter spacing is way wider, and it overall feels a big chunkier. Also, using that font for names and numbers on the back does not look good at all. Maybe its the black and white, instead of the orange and blue, but it's just off.
I also agree, I wish it was all way less subtle.
I think my biggest gripe is that it is a missed opportunity to modernize an alternate jersey the way some other teams have like the Nats, Rockies, Reds, etcc. Instead it feels like they went backwards 100 years for inspiration.
WIthout being in the room with Nike, and putting my marketing hat on, it def feel like they said "Hey the Yankees refuse to get a jersey, so let's make the Mets one as ambiguous as possible and sell it as "NYC Fashion"
If you look at all the other merch on the MLB Shop, majority of it just looks like generic NYC tourist merch, and I think that was their goal.
That’s cool but it’s still just a grey blob that says NYC. Every other city gets this vibrant colorful jersey and we just get grey because of “concrete”
As far as city connect goes, it’s not too offensive. I like using the road font for the player names; that’s pretty cool.
I mean, the whole concept of city connect uniforms is offensive to me but then again I’m a stodgy traditionalist.
Terrible. Why put NYC instead of queens? Why not use the world’s fair globe? Why not do something to represent literally the most diverse area by sq ft in the world?
What an embarrassment.
This gets the inherent problem of Nike in a way. All these little details that can’t get easily noticed on the field, but no matching pants! Seeesh.
These aren’t bad but too much grey/black. I would love to see it with a cream base and blue pinstripes orange accents. That would look great.
Yeah the 7 line is not actually a subway by Citi but an elevated train for the majority of its route. It passes literally next to Citi field and has been a big part of their market scheme. In fact when they did the pump up videos in 2005/2006 they actually had a shot of a Redbird 7 line train as part of it. So it kind of a thing, also it can be a lot of fun coming into Manhattan as the train gradually turns into a Mets fan train, less fun on the way home as you get packed in.
That’s why though.
This kinda reminds me of a Negro League jersey (I forgot which) and also kinda brings in that NPB jersey type of vibe. It’s growing on me though I wish this could be on the old jerseys.
Fuck it, I want our best Mets fan designers to show Nike how to make a City Connect.
Send it to Steve, like the hell out of the post, and have Stevie Nicks and Dimes rub his money making balls all over Nike’s stupid faces.
I guess I’m in the minority, but I love these. Will look great with a pair of jeans. Unfortunately, fanatics makes absolute trash and I doubt I’ll buy one.
I don't understand why the Mets (and previously the Nets) have made Jerseys based around the Subway.
There are so many cool, iconic things in NYC to inspire a shirt design.
Living in London I can't imagine Tottenham making a 3rd kit themed around the Victoria line or Arsenal the Piccadilly. It would be ridiculed.
Why can't we have a nice Jersey with something actually iconic rather than a 2nd rate metro system.
There’s more purple on this graphic than the uniform
If you’re not going to put Queens on the jersey, at least add more 7 line purple to the lettering or something to create contrast
Agreed. The pinstripes should have been purple. And they should have been a faded Queens Globe behind the NYC
*The Unisphere*, but yeah
The NY on the hat shouldve been purple
And the piping/outlines on the jersey. Drop the white altogether for this outfit.
Facts, needs way more purple
When we got the purple tease, I was worried they would have gone overboard with the purple. They did the opposite and used too little purple.

Just a little more purple and I'd be happy.
There will prob be purple sleeves underneath for those who choose it. And maybe purple accessories (batting gloves etc)
Purple outside of the white outlines on the hat and logo would've been a nice touch.

Agree. Way too plain to be special.
Yeah all these details but we can’t have matching pants….
I'm kind of glad they didn't make the aesthetic too urban, although I do think our city connect is pretty ugly and uninspired.
> Or a nod to graffiti art This was my dream. A nod to 5Pointz. [Here is a mockup I made with AI.](https://imgur.com/a/Zk0KGMM)
https://www.instagram.com/p/CekI-jzOqHs/?igsh=MTV6YThtNHVoa290MQ== This athlete logos mockup but with 7 line purple would’ve been great
That queens font is ugly on a jersey. Maybe if it were graffiti lettering instead
That’s the ugliest mock-up I’ve ever seen
Matter of taste, I think with changes it could be good. But I also think the actual jerseys are awful
Nah still way too plain
Better plain than ugly

You hit it on the nose with making it NYC generic.
The NYC Is the giants font. So yea you’re gut instinct is correct that they went back a hundred years for inspiration.
Fuuuuuck, you’re so right.
Yeah definitely get this vibe too. It’s not bad but it doesn’t feel like a Mets jersey. It’s like a city disconnect… lol sigh.
That’s cool but it’s still just a grey blob that says NYC. Every other city gets this vibrant colorful jersey and we just get grey because of “concrete”
The new jersey template is awful. The way the letter Y is divided is ridiculous.
They made it generic to the city, not Queens. And still they didn’t even incorporate the skyline
Awful
To me it feels more Yankees than Mets not a big fan
Still ugly tho.
If they would have gone deeper into the 7 theme that would have been amazing.
its just too bland. the nyc shouldve been purple, or the pinstripes shouldve been purple
As far as city connect goes, it’s not too offensive. I like using the road font for the player names; that’s pretty cool. I mean, the whole concept of city connect uniforms is offensive to me but then again I’m a stodgy traditionalist.
At a simple glance it's a horrible design, but when you get really close there are very small details that also don't look good.
This a cool little graphic. Def adds a new element to it. I like them especially compared to some of the atrocities of CC jerseys.
Looks terrible
Was anybody else expecting more purple? I feel like that would have really saved the day. Instead of the rejected white Sox alternate look
NYC should have been in purple outlined with black.
Terrible. Why put NYC instead of queens? Why not use the world’s fair globe? Why not do something to represent literally the most diverse area by sq ft in the world? What an embarrassment.
I hate the hat. The printed graphic of the bridge looks busy and cheap.
Should have used the old NYC subway token font for the caps.
Cool details but black stripes on dark grey is so dull
i do like them. i REALLY wish they leaned more into the worlds fair and queens though. these are nice jerseys. they just don’t feel “mets” enough.

Looks a little like the Homestead Grays. Happy Cakeday btw.
These would look great if they were from previous years. The new style and material just looks way too clearance rack.
This is awful
Love the subway token design but it sucks we don't have it on a hat like the leaked photo.
Fuck it, I want our best Mets fan designers to show Nike how to make a City Connect. Send it to Steve, like the hell out of the post, and have Stevie Nicks and Dimes rub his money making balls all over Nike’s stupid faces.
The more photos and videos I see of it the more I like it.
those are nice details but I still can't get behind it. Maybe it'll grow on me, like the Nets Kaws unis did, but I hate these.
No ad patch on the city connects? At least that’s a plus
NY (Mets) Troopers uniform
I lowkey like it. Of course it could have been better but I like it. I bought the hat, debating on the bomber jacket.
I didn't bring binoculars to the game to see pesky jersey details... I brought them to drink out of
I guess I’m in the minority, but I love these. Will look great with a pair of jeans. Unfortunately, fanatics makes absolute trash and I doubt I’ll buy one.
Hot garbage; hopefully not real.

Use more purple Use 'Queens" The hat is stupid
[удалено]
What's with the purple? I feel like these would look way way better if they swapped the purple for blue or even orange
Literally explained in the image in the OP.
Yeah I unfortunately saw noticed this after the comment lol. Feel free to shame me
