The Mets are getting a new road jersey for the 2025 MLB season, it was announced Wednesday on the Meet at the Apple podcast.
The jersey will be unveiled on Saturday at Citi Field during the Mets’ Amazin Day.
MLB teams are limited to five jerseys — one official home jersey, one official road jersey, two alternate jerseys, and the City Connect jersey.
The Mets’ current jersey options are:
Home pinstripe
Road gray
Blue home alternate
Black home alternate
City Connect (worn at home)
It’s fair to believe that the Mets will either be getting a new gray jersey or adding a road alternate jersey.
In the event the Mets add a road alternate jersey, they will have to remove an existing jersey from their rotation, with the blue home alternate (which was worn sparingly in 2024) seemingly a possibility.
The Mets’ current traditional road gray jersey with ‘NEW YORK’ across the chest dates back to the team’s inception in 1962, though the team has worn different road jerseys through the years.
Among them: pullover style jerseys worn for much of the 1980s, including the gray “racing stripe” jerseys that had ‘Mets’ across the chest and were worn in 1986. In 1987, the Mets wore a road gray jersey that had ‘NEW YORK’ in an elongated, different kind of script. In 1988, the ‘NEW YORK’ across the gray road jersey was in block lettering.
Over the years, the Mets have also had blue road alternate jerseys, which were worn as recently as the 2021 season.
