The New York Mets’ 2024 City Connect uniforms WHIO TV 7 and WHIO Radio [Video]

The New York Mets unveiled their City Connect uniforms on Friday, which the team will wear during Saturday home games beginning April 27.

According to the team, the design process took over two years of planning before they came to a final result. The Mets’ traditional colors of blue, orange and white will be replaced on these uniforms by gray and purple.

“It’s all about connecting to New York,” said Mets chief marketing officer Andy Goldberg. “A lot of detail, a lot of focus on this idea that yeah, it’s not orange and blue by design. It’s meant to connect to New York. It’s meant to not just be an alternate Mets uniform. It’s our City Connect. It is how Met fans can represent across the world.”

According to the Mets, the gray symbolizes the “concrete jungle of New York City,” while the purple represents the 7 Line train that runs to Citi Field.
