THE Dishes will receive a new road jersey for the 2025 MLB season, it was announced Wednesday on the See you at the Apple podcast.
The jersey will be unveiled Saturday at Citi Field during the Mets’ Amazin Day.
MLB teams are limited to five jerseys: one official home jersey, one official road jersey, two alternate jerseys and the City Connect jersey.
The current Mets jersey options are:
Pinstriped house
Road gray
Alternating at home blue
Black substitute at home

It’s fair to believe the Mets will get a new gray jersey or add an alternate road jersey.
In the event the Mets add an alternate road jersey, they will have to remove an existing jersey from their rotation, with the home blue alternate (which has been worn sparingly in 2024) seemingly a possibility.
The Mets’ current traditional gray jersey with “NEW YORK” across the chest dates back to the team’s founding in 1962, although the team has worn different road jerseys over the years.
Among them: pullover-style jerseys worn throughout much of the 1980s, including the gray “racing stripe” jerseys emblazoned with “Mets” across the chest and worn in 1986. In 1987, the Mets wore a road gray jersey bearing the inscription “NEW YORK”. ” in a different type of elongated script. In 1988, the “NEW YORK” on the gray road jersey was in capital letters.
Over the years, the Mets have also had blue alternate road jerseys, which were worn as recently as the 2021 season.
