New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies release new limited edition jerseys for 2024 MLB London Series
The New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies have announced a new set of super limited edition jerseys ahead of this weekend’s London Series.
Major League Baseball and official kit partner Fanatics have collaborated with London artist Titi Finlay to release just 48 jerseys featuring iconic imagery celebrating America’s Pastime and the English capital.
The pinstriped Mets and Phillies uniforms are some of the most iconic in baseball, and this special run of jerseys also feature hand-drawn illustrations by Finley - renowned for her work in the sneaker industry, particularly with Nike.
Images of Americana adorn the back of both shirts, including the famous New York City hotdog and Statue of Liberty, while travel-inspired patches also feature, representing fans’ journey across the pond to watch their beloved teams play on UK soil.
Only 48 jerseys will be available in total, 24 for each team, with the exclusive designs dropping on Friday June 7.

The Mets and Phillies will bring their historic rivalry to the English capital this weekend in the latest edition of the London Series.
This will be the third event of its kind, following the inaugural London Series in 2019 between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, but its return following COVID-19 in 2023 as the Chicago Cubs took on the St Louis Cardinals.
With a focus of MLB’s top rivalries, the Mets and Phillies will take part in their first ‘Battle of the Broads’ on foreign soil in its 60-year history.
There will be loads of star-quality on show, including Phillies big hitters Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber and the Mets’ key duo Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor.
But while the sport is the main event, there’s plenty else to entertain fans at this two-day celebration of Americana.
The London Series is a food-lover’s paradise with a huge menu of American classics on offer, including Philly cheese steaks, mouth-watering burgers and the return of the famous two-foot long ‘boomstick’ hotdog.
