Mets, MLB to wear Stars & Stripes caps on Memorial Day

On Memorial Day (Monday), the New York Mets and all teams across Major League Baseball will wear the Stars & Stripes caps.

Via Sox & Dawgs:

MLB started this tradition last year when the teams wore the caps on July 4th and again on September 11th. Just like last year, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the caps and merchandise will be going to “Welcome Back Veterans”.

You can check out the caps of all 30 teams by clicking here.

Here is the Mets hat this time around…

I love these uniforms, even if the red doesn’t really go with the Mets colors.  At least this year they adjusted the uniforms to match the hats.  A great uniform for a great cause.

Can these replace the Mets black uniforms full time?
