Looks like the Mets were repping the Phillies' colors on Friday night.
Steve Cohen plans to patch things up with New York Mets fans over an ad on the uniform.
In a partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the team wore patches on its jersey sleeves for the first time during Friday's home opener against the Miami Marlins. But the red-and-white color scheme didn’t really fit for a team traditionally decked out in blue and orange that counts the Philadelphia Phillies as a primary rival.
The club announced the sponsorship agreement Thursday 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 going forward.“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 might be ready.
