Updated Post, 1/23/24

In addition to the information shared below, UniWatch also reported that the Mets will debut their City Connect jerseys on Friday, April 26.

UniWatch did not have any details of what the jersey would look like, but he correctly pointed out that the Mets usually wear their black jerseys on Fridays. The jersey could include a nod to that. UniWatch says the design will likely be revealed about a week before the jersey debuts.

The Mets are one of 10 teams who do not have a City Connect jersey through Nike.
