"SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) - The Syracuse Mets have to chalk this one up as an error. The baseball team had previously announced plans to retire the "Syracuse Mets" name and unveil a new identity and brand for future seasons. After months of planning, the team's rebranding process struck out. The Mets' general manager Jason Smorol tells NewsChannel 9 | LocalSYR.com that the new name they had selected was already trademarked."
"So, the Syracuse Mets will remain the Syracuse Mets for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The Mets made the announcement on social media by unveiling new gear bearing the same brand. They're hosting an open house to preview the upcoming season on Saturday, March 7. Opening Day is scheduled for Friday, March 27 on the road at the Worcester Red Sox."
