Yosef Sebrow sends in this look at what appears to be modest tweaks to the black uniforms the Mets wear, which he shot at a Sports Authority in Forest Hills. It's labeled "METH," presumably for Mets' home. He writes: "The old one was black, orange dropshadow, then white, then blue. And the accent stripe around the buttons: just blue. This has four colors for the Mets logo: big white splotch, then a black dropshadow, then orange, then blue, and the stripe around the buttons is blue and orange."

Black uniforms going from bad to worse?
The 'Ropolitans | NY Mets Baseball Blog —
Adam Rubin and Matt Cerrone both posted the same photo of this mysterious black Mets jersey found at a Sports Authority. Taking a look at the shirt, it's as if the Mets thought that the black jersey wasn't ugly enough, and they decided to make it look even more detestable.
