JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: The Met City Connect jerseys have officially come out. Jake, shall we click on this link together and react to these jerseys live on this show?
JAKE MINTZ: Let's click.
JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: OK, I see Francisco Lindor looking like he's sitting at a subway stop. What do we think of these? I believe we are leaning all the way into the 7 Line. And OK, I'm clicking here. All right. What do we-- Wow. Oh, my gosh. OK. So these are the least colorful City Connect jerseys. I guess the Reds have their all blacks with like the red trim.
JAKE MINTZ: Orioles.
JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: Orioles are all black, and they have the white with like the orange and like the-- kind of like the Maryland flag, right? As like the trim. These are very interesting. They're leaning into the 7 Line. What do you think?
JAKE MINTZ: Yeah, I like them. I think these are good. They won't be dunked on, which I think is important.
JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: That's not true. Every uniform gets dunked on, no matter what.
JAKE MINTZ: That's true.
JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: So I'm just telling you that right now. But-- but I think I know what you're getting at.
JAKE MINTZ: I think they're a little too safe. I love the tops. They remind me a little bit of the Nationals City Connect ones with the WSH and the gray and the pink. I think they should have given more purple.
JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: Yep.
JAKE MINTZ: I need more purple than this. And I hate the hats. I absolutely hate the hats with the bridge under the NY. I can't stand them. I get what they're going for there, but I don't like the hats. I love the top. Like the tops are great. I like that they're going to be with white pants. Good job. These are good. These are good. They're good. Thoughts for you. What do you got?
JORDAN SHUSTERMAN: Uh, yeah, I think they're fine. I think they should have like-- instead of just the purple like we should have actually had a seven. Like every Jersey should-- they should all wear number seven.
JAKE MINTZ: Maybe one day we'll all wear number seven.
