Juan Soto isn’t the one addition the New York Mets are making to their lineup in 2025.
At their Amazin’ Day occasion yesterday, the Mets unveiled their new street jersey for the upcoming season. We’re nonetheless awaiting affirmation from the staff, however for now, it’s our understanding that this jersey will exchange their street gray jerseys because the Mets’ full-time street uniform.

The participant’s quantity is on the entrance, under and to the left of this wordmark in the identical colourway. The again of the jersey reveals the identical design for the participant’s identify and quantity. A single orange stripe is worn on every sleeve and across the collar. The New York Mets logo is on one sleeve, and an advertisement for New York-Presbyterian is on the opposite.
The uniform is basically a recoloured model of the Mets road grey uniforms worn during the 1987 season (minus the racing stripes), and identical to that ’87 Mets street look, the jersey is a pullover — that means, no buttons down the entrance.
