Uni Watch 2025

Unnecessary.

Someone here tried to keep track of how many times each different Met jersey was worn last year.

Here's a chart, and the link:

I'm a traditionalist, I feel like they should be wearing white at home and gray on the road. I would have rather they brought back the '87 uniform style in white/pinstripes or even just the original grays with that font.

[Lefty Specialist]

That's an ugly jersey. Hard to read, for one thing. And I thought that dumb script had been banished forever.

On the one hand, I sort of agree with you. On the other hand, I'm so over this stuff, so worn down and beaten down by the bomardment of uniform variations that are now a regular, constant part of the game, that I'm afraid to say this, but I barely give a shit any more. Used to be that I would go apeshit over stuff like this, but not anymore. I think that it's the City Connect unis that finally did this to me, that were the last nail in my uniform coffin, so to speak. Those City Connects are all hideous. Comically hideous. Tasteless. Garish. And stupid. And yet people love the Mets City Connects because --- get this ---- because they're (supposedly) not as ugly as some of the worst City Connect unis. That' the logic and justification for those hideousities. I give up. At this point, I don't think I'd give a shit if the Mets wore their Mercury Mets tops for an entire season.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I used to have really strong opinions on things like this too but definitely don't care much anymore. Part of it is accepting that the uniform has become a part of the marketing machinery that gives no shits what old farts think.

Also…

Siri 19
Minter 33
Holmes 35
Montas 47
Canning 55

Canning reportedly switches to 46.

Here's the Mets cap: It's got a cap within a cap. It shoulda had Mr. Met wearing the new BP cap instead of the old regular blue cap. That'd burn your eyeballs out.

[metirish]

Yeah, it's awful

[MFS62]

I have a feeling that anybody who wears that won't bend the brim.
Later

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I’m going to Spring Training later this month and I’ll be rocking that cap! It’s fantastic, guys!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I think that's kinda fun. My issue is that it doesn't really look like a Mr. Met facial expression.

[metirish]

Looks like Alsono smiling

[The Hot Corner]

The way Alonso's free agency is going, I doubt he is smiling much of late.

The terms "headspoon" and "placket piping" were unfamiliar to me. But I agree, the uniform looks better without it.

UniWatch often refers to the black jerseys as "BFBS" and I have no idea what that means.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Black
For
Black's
Sake

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thanks! My best guess had been Black Front Back Sides, but that really didn't make sense.

[Edgy MD]

Headspoon, as I understand it, describes the often-reinforced strip down the middle of a button-down jersey, up into the collar, which is often, but not always, reinforced as well, depending on the fabric.

This area, particularly when it is outlined with piping, creates the impression of a spoonhandle and bowl. Out of the center of the latter peeks the player's head.



I mean, I think I got that more or less right. I hope.

[Centerfield]

The road grays were perfect. I never thought I'd see the day we went back to the racing stripes, but I guess it is what it is.

Not crazy about the new blue uniform. I don't like the script.

I thought the black was ok as a once in a while uniform, but I certainly don't like the new version without the white outlining.

Old Man. Cloud. bbbyyy

It's Mr. Met, high as a kite, trying to fake his way through dinner with his parents without them finding out that he's been out smoking dope all afternoon

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Per the Athletic. The six players who won the major awards last year - MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year - will wear golden MLB logos on the backs of their jerseys all year. Ten per player will be cut up and put on trading cards. This follows last year's practice of rookies wearing a special patch on the day they debuted.

Fanatics, of course, bought Topps and makes the jerseys on partnership with Nike.
