Well, after weeks of speculation, it's here, and it's not very different to the current (2009) version...
Based on the photo, I am thinking that the major difference is that it is no longer white; it's like an off-white (sort of the effect that Mitchell and Ness has been trying to make for years on the retro home flannels -- though theirs seem to be a little more "cream" than they should be). Possibly the pinstripes have changed to the more traditional version (though I cannot tell from the photo).
Also worth noting is that although the Mets are trying to go with a "retro" feel, they are keeping the black drop shadow. And of course, the material will be the cheap flmsy Majestic Cool Base.
We waited a long time to see the unveiling, and it appears to be a lot of hype for nothing...
