Some (not all) fans have been begging for the New York Mets to bring back their black jerseys for years. In February, Pete Alonso advocated for the team to bring back their black jerseys. New owner Steve Cohen had alluded to bringing them back as well.
On Monday night, the team formally announced the black jerseys are back!
We have worked with and thank MLB and NIKE for their help in the return of black jerseys for a limited number of games later this summer; replica jerseys will be available at retail in time for the holidays.
