Queensboro Bridge is nice, but I would have preferred the Unisphere.

The bridge "connects," as does the subway line whose color designation is purple

I hope KB gets no news of purple Mets jerseys.

Everyone keep it under your caps.

I like. They'll probably screw it up but using the 7 train is a good idea to steal from the stillborn Queensboro FC

I'm with you on! A train and bridge and Unisphere theme could be really cool!

If it's purple then they have to play "Purple Rain".

Well, they won't all be wearing uniform number 7. Does that design work if the number in the purple circle is a 40?

We are going to issue a lot of walks that night.

I dunno here. I got white stripes on a black uni with purple Mets branding over the Queensboro bridge

Sounds like a lot of ideas coalescing. I'm guessing it won't be the cleanest look.

Bridges, subways, crosswalks, whatever. Queens is the real connective tissue to New York. I hope this is cool.

Mets didn’t wear their Friday night black jerseys and caps last night, perhaps to clear mental space for whatever this augurs.

The hat doesn't match the other "leak" but the rest seems to (the purple, the "concrete" gray). I was fully prepared to loathe these, but if this is it, I like them better than most City Connects we've seen. They would seem to be shouting "WE are New York City", and the transit lines and the subtle bridge on the hat, the NYC on the shirt all pile on. Very relieved it's not a black top, but I guess they'd wear this at home and other teams could wear a colored softball top?

Also interesting the dude in this pic looks like he's wearing blue sleeves. The purple is used so sparsely, it doesn't really clash IMO.
