The New York Mets are a Major League Baseball team based in the borough of Queens in New York City. They are in the Eastern Division of the National League.
Founded: 1962 (National League expansion)
Home ballpark: Shea Stadium (1964-present)
Former home ballpark: Polo Grounds (1962-1963)
Uniform colors: Blue, Orange, and Black (the orange chosen to represent the New York Giants, the blue chosen to represent the Brooklyn Dodgers).
Logo design: Intertwined 'N' and 'Y' in orange, on blue field (the NY logo is identical to that of the New York Giants, the blue field chosen because that was the color of the caps worn by the Brooklyn Dodgers).

The shape of the insignia, with its orange stitching, represents a baseball, and the bridge in the foreground symbolizes that the Mets, in bringing back the National League to New York, represent all five boroughs.
