If you're a New York Mets fan, you're all too familiar in recent seasons with turning on SNY to watch the beloved orange and blue, only to find an ugly combination of grey and purple instead. It's far from surprising at this point, but it still doesn't feel right. And fans in recent weeks have begun to vocalize their displeasure with the lingering alternate uniforms. What was originally a fun nod to the city has turned into nothing but an eyesore. What was once a breath of fresh air is now just an eye roll.
The uniforms were introduced in April of last season as a part of a league-wide "City Connect" campaign.
