The New York Mets will unveil a new road jersey during Saturday’s Amazin Day event at Citi Field, according to Danny Abriano of SNY.

Because MLB teams are only allowed to have five uniform options, it’s likely that the team is either ditching its current road gray option or its black road alternate.

The team could also move on from its blue home alternate, given that it wears its City Connect uniform for home games.

As Abriano noted, “The Mets’ current traditional road gray jersey with ‘NEW YORK’ across the chest dates back to the team’s inception in 1962, though the team has worn different road jerseys through the years. Among them: Pullover style jerseys worn for much of the 1980s, including the gray “racing stripe” jerseys that had ‘Mets’ across the chest and were worn in 1986. In 1987, the Mets wore a road gray jersey that had ‘NEW YORK’ in an elongated, different kind of script. In 1988, the ‘NEW YORK’ across the gray road jersey was in block lettering.”

The more exciting news, of course, is that the new road jersey will be worn by Juan Soto, who the Mets’ signed to a massive 15-year, $765 million contract this winter, landing the biggest free agent in the sport and stealing him from the New York Yankees in the process.

Heady times for these Mets, who made a surprise run to the NLCS last season and now will feature one of the biggest stars in the sport.
