Back in Black ... and orange, but not white
Who says the Mets have nothing this offseason? Apparently the team is tinkering with the caps worn with the black jerseys on Fridays. The NY is losing the white outline around the NY, and the orange that was treated like a drop shadow is now an outline. I think this is the treatment that was on the black caps with the blue bill.
Not a huge change, but looks good to me.

Not offensive.
But I still don't like showing them with a flat brim.(the subject of other threads)

Re: Back in Black ... and orange, but not white
The regular 59FIFTY caps with the flat brims have a crown that is just way too tall on me! I only buy the low-profile versions of the 59FIFTYs or the 39THIRTY flexible fit versions. My problem with New Era is that the sizing is so inconsistent. I order a 7 3/8, and sometimes I get a cap and it is at least one or even two sizes too small!

Some Guys On The Internet see the cap as a "City Connect" leak. Mets are doing that this year for the first time and I was hoping they didn't do the obvious and least imaginative thing and go with black.

The Mets' City Connect cap should have the Unisphere instead of the NY insignia.
Re: Back in Black ... and orange, but not white
Blue and black is always going to be a hard combination. I'm not sure why they haven't gone full New York Giants with an orange insignia on an all black hat, with no outlines or shadows, unless there's some ownership by or agreement with the modern day Giants that doesn't allow for that.

Re: Back in Black ... and orange, but not white
I'm skeptical about the City Connect claim. Teams have had leaks of designs, but this is on the Mets website. I've never seen a City Connect cap released separately from the jersey. Also, the Angels had a new cap released yesterday, too, and they already have a City Connect cap out there.Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 10:09 am Some Guys On The Internet see the cap as a "City Connect" leak.

I'd love to see the Unisphere incorporated into a design!
