The black drop-shadows were removed from the pinstriped, snow white and road gray jerseys and the black two toned cap was retired. The black jersey and all black cap was worn on a limited basis on the road and was retired at the end of the season. The Mets wore two patches, one commemorating the team's 50th anniversary and another honoring Gary Carter, who died of a brain tumor on February 16, 2012.https://www.espn.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/7614745/new-york-mets-wear-patch-honor-gary-carter Mets will wear Gary Carter patch Adam Rubin ESPNNewYork.com February 25, 2012 Regular season The Mets began their 2012 season with a surprising three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves.
