The New York Mets unveiled their City Connect uniforms on Friday.
The look will debut on April 27 against the St. Louis Cardinals and will be worn on every Saturday home game, excluding Darryl Strawberry's jersey retirement on June 1.
The inspiration of the uniform relates to the "concrete jungle, the strength and grit" that is the fabric of New York and a "city like no other," according to the Mets press release. The color of the uniform is also a nod to the concrete jungle.
Mets Chief Marketing Officer Andy Goldberg told ESPN that placing "NYC" across the chest was a deliberate move because the franchise hopes to connect to the whole city, rather than just one area.
