Youth Francisco Alvarez New York Mets City Connect Jersey
Queens · NL East
Step off the 7 train at Willets Point, walk through the Rotunda at Citi Field, and wait for the Home Run Apple to rise — pure LGM magic.
What You Get
- Traditional full-button closure built for easy layering over hoodies or crewnecks
- Breathable double-knit mesh polyester that handles muggy July day games
- Durable twill chest wordmark and back details that won't crack or peel after washing
- Youth sizing with a shorter body and sleeve that keeps the fit clean
- City Connect inspired palette
Cut, Drape & Ballpark Breathability
Cut for youth proportions rather than scaled-down adult sizing. The chest runs roughly 28-34 inches across the youth range, with a shorter body and sleeve so it does not swallow them.
Breathable polyester with a smooth face and a soft hand. It resists wrinkles in a duffel bag and dries fast on a hotel towel rack.
Details That Hold Up Past Wash One
The placket is stitched flat so the front does not curl after a wash. Buttons are smooth, evenly spaced and easy to work with one hand.
How to Wear It
Wear it closed with jeans and sneakers for a clean look, or open over a white tee when the afternoon gets warm. A cap finishes it without trying too hard.
For the fan who already owns everything, a fresh colorway is the safe move. It adds to the collection without duplicating it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a petite adult or woman wear a Youth Large or Youth XL jersey?
Yes — this is one of the most popular sizing hacks among baseball fans. A Youth XL typically fits similar to an Adult XS / Women's Small in the chest (~38-40 inches), with slightly shorter sleeve and body length.
Are the buttons spaced closely enough so the front doesn't gap?
Yes. The placket uses reinforced flat-seam construction with properly spaced buttons across the chest and midsection, preventing awkward gapping whether you're sitting in the bleachers or standing up for a home run.
How do I wash this jersey without ruining the twill numbers?
Button it up completely, turn it inside out, and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Always hang it to air dry — never use a hot dryer or iron directly over the lettering.
Should I size up to wear a hoodie underneath for April or October night games?
If you plan to layer this jersey over a heavyweight fleece hoodie, we recommend going up one size so the shoulders and chest don't feel restricted. For wearing over a normal short-sleeve tee or solo, order your regular US size.

Care note: Cold water, mild detergent, no bleach. Air dry flat or on a hanger. A quick steam beats an iron if it comes out of a suitcase creased.
