With the reporting date for pitchers and catchers only 16 days away, here’s a preview of the new jerseys, caps and pullover hoodies Mets players will be sporting when they arrive to camp at Port St. Lucie.
Jacob deGrom (above) is looking good in his official Mets Spring Training sweatshirt that features the slogan “Train To Reign” on the front.
The new Spring Training jerseys, designed by Majestic, may look the same as last year, but there are some very cool differences. For one, the sides feature a mesh panel that will keep you cool and add better mobility.
The right sleeve also features this year’s new Spring Training Logo Patch. It looks like a typical Interstate Highway or Route sign with the state initials for Florida and Arizona to represent the Grapefruit League and Cactus League, respectively.
If you zoom in on Syndergaard’s jersey and take a closer look, you’ll find that all the Uniform Numbers and Letters feature an assortment of different MLB and Spring Training logos. It’s actually a pretty nice touch – even if it’s practically invisible from a distance.
This year’s spring training caps will still feature Mr. Met on the front, but will also include a side patch of the new Interstate Highway marker, with the designation “FL” for Florida.
I’m not so thrilled with the sweatshirts and hoodies, but to borrow a phrase from Dwight Gooden, the jersey and cap are “Crazy Good.”
