New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has decided to change the new outlook of the uniforms, with which the team went out in the opening day of the MLB.
The part of the uniform in question is the red-and-white color patch that the Mets wore in their game against Miami Marlins. However, those color combinations were deemed unacceptable as they resembled those of their main rival Philadelphia Phillies.
The club announced the sponsorship agreement and showed off the new uniform patches in a photo online.
Cohen, the Mets’ owner, said he had an email exchange with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CEO Steven J. Corwin and they agreed to make a change from now onwards.
“They’re Phillie colors. And he agreed and I agreed they should be more Met-appropriate,” Cohen said before Friday’s game.
New York wore the red-and-white patches Friday. Cohen did not say when the new patches will be ready.
