The Mets' City Connect purple-ish jerseys are here and fans generally liked what they saw

After much anticipation, the New York Mets unveiled their City Connect jerseys for the 2024 season.

Fans knew to expect at least some purple on the uniforms or hats based on the teaser video posted earlier this month. But now that they are officially here, we now know exactly what the jerseys will look like when they are on the field.

New York will wear these for the first time on April 27 against the Cardinals. The team will continue to rock the purple look for the majority of their home games played on Saturdays for the remainder of the season.

While the MLB jerseys produced by Fanatics are getting widely criticized this year, these are generally receiving positive reviews.

Some cool details include nods to the concrete sidewalks, the New York subway system (including the 7 Line train to Citi Field) and tokens, bridges, and maps.

Better than I expected. Need more purple, but love the tops and the overall theme. Think a bunch of purple undershirts and sleeves and wristbands, etc will help it play up. Hate the hats. 7/10. https://t.co/yWCbKNmjpG

Jerseys look like they were pulled out of a daguerreotype (complimentary/flattering). Hats are beautiful. Great job @mets. https://t.co/ExvvPJpGO3

Overall I like the Mets City Connect jerseys more than I first did when they leaked. These are the changes I would make:

– Queens instead of NYC
– Pinstriped concrete pants to match jersey
– More Purple! Possibly make the NY on cap Purple. pic.twitter.com/TOikdYFxZ6

Don't love the City Connect's, don't hate them either. It is what it is. Additional money, revenue, etc. Just think the Mets have one of the cleanest, classic home uniforms in the sport. Carry on #LGM

Do you know how many jerseys you can buy from Nike that say Brooklyn? They had one opportunity to actually market Queens — like actually use the name, and not just a hint of purple and a barely visible bridge — and they said "Nah, we're good." Screw that.

NOT ENOUGH PURPLE IN THE JERSEY! IF YOUR MARKETING IS “omg it’s purple” MAKE IT PURPLE! NOT GRAY!
