Hopefully you know the history of the METS colors. If not I will help you out!!

The colors are closely associated with the two old National League teams in NY. Blue and white is in remembrance of the Brooklyn Dodgers, while orange and black is in remembrance of the New York Giants. Blue white and orange are also the colors of the NYC flag, being another association. Their NY logo on the caps is also similar to the logo used by the Giants in the final years in NYC. It cannot be confirmed or denied that the pinstripes were in homage to the "Bombers" but many teams wore pinstripes for their home jerseys back in the day too.

Hope it helps you out, just wanted to pass it along!

Took this photo of L.129, housed with E.273, several years ago. Not sure if they have a newer rig.

The Yankees have their own, just up the street from the Stadium. E68 and L49! Bought the Code 3 issues of them a few years back for my Yankee memorabilia collection! They look much better with the "BRONX BOMBERS" streamer across the front windshield!
