The New York Mets just can’t catch a break when it comes to their latest fashion statement. At a recent event dubbed “Amazin’ Day,” fans were buzzing with anticipation for the reveal of the team’s brand-new alternate road uniforms.

Hopes were high, particularly in the wake of acquiring superstar Juan Soto with a jaw-dropping 15-year, $765 million contract. But as it turns out, the new units have become a punchline instead of a source of pride. The big reveal came with star shortstop Francisco Lindor showcasing the new blue pullovers adorned with a blue script font and orange piping.

While the Mets designed these jerseys as a tribute to their 1987 road uniforms, they may have inadvertently stumbled into a style controversy. Instead of nostalgia, fans flooded social media with mixed reviews, and honestly, most of them were cussing the team for the design blunder.

The inevitable comparisons to the gray and blue design of the previous era have left many wondering why the Mets chose a bold blue base this time. The current jerseys lack the familiar color scheme that fans associate with the team’s rich history. And obviously, the color blue stands for trust and professionalism, but the fanbase’s reaction seems they are lacking both.

The Mets Are Facing Huge Backlash For Their New Alternate Road Jersey

While the Mets are set to kick off the offseason with a positive blast, their fans have an otherwise thinking. They are unhesitantly bashing their loved team for making a change to an already existing jersey.

“What in the dog shit is this,” a fan commented.

“They look like they were ordered on SHEIN,” a fan roasted.
