With spring training just around the corner, the New York Mets decided to make headlines a little early on Saturday afternoon, unveiling their new road uniforms for the 2025 season.

Here's a look at the set, courtesy of SNY Mets:

The fan reaction to the Metropolitans' new attire? Let's just say—it wasn't great. Here's a look at some of the best responses across social media:

Looks like a retro t-shirt a fan would wear to a game, not a jersey a Major League Baseball team would wear. I don’t love them but if they win in them they can wear them every game. https://t.co/hCa8LpQcGs

The knockoff jerseys they have had in TJ Maxx and Marshall’s for years https://t.co/l3Ynl7uX8E

With jerseys like this, they’d be better off playing shirtless.

I know a thing or two about that. https://t.co/8v1tGhnvP1

They legit look like a giveaway jersey they give out at the gate. Disappointed but not surprised https://t.co/RmkPzos5Rf

Ugly
Just. Ugly.

The obsession with constantly creating alternates is amazing. Do fans just buy 5 versions of their favorite player’s jersey?

“Today I’m gonna wear my snow white jersey.”
“I’m feeling the pinstripes.”
“Hmmm, can’t decide between the road grays or these.” https://t.co/ghsBZTs71e pic.twitter.com/JaykUKEXlP

The lack of contrast makes these so weak, who approved this garbage? https://t.co/36eV5ArcFu

How about this, @Mets? You #BringBackPete and I buy one of these in a two zero? https://t.co/YtSh7E3HqY

The #BringBackPete is, of course, a reference to first baseman Pete Alonso—who is currently a free agent after spending his first six seasons with the Mets. The 30-year-old finished New York's 2024 playoff run with 4 home runs and 10 RBI over 13 games.

After finishing the regular season 89–73, the Mets advanced to the 2024 National League Championship Series before losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games. Perhaps their new unis can bring them better postseason luck in 2025.
