Mets wearing 1986 road jerseys today

In honor of Chicago's throwback day at Wrigley Field, the Mets will wear authentic, polyester, 1986 road uniforms during Wednesday's game against the Cubs...

"They look great, but they're super hot," Bartolo Colon said of the uniforms, when asked about them by ESPN's Marly Rivera.

Terry Collins made a similar comment, according to ESPN's Adam Rubin.

They are pretty sweet looking. However, it's currently 92 degrees in Chicago, which means it'll be close to 100 degrees on field when these guys take the field. In other words, they're going to be crazy hot in these jerseys.
