The Mets will have a different look next season – both in the dugout and on the field.

Dave Jauss is the teams new bench coach and Chip Hale will take over as third base coach on manager Jerry Manuels staff. Razor Shines, who coached third base this year, shifts over to first.

New York retained hitting coach Howard Johnson, pitching coach Dan Warthen and bullpen coach Randy Niemann after finishing 70-92 in 2009. Former major league manager Terry Collins was added as the clubs minor league field coordinator.

The Mets also announced Tuesday that they are switching their home pinstriped uniforms to a retro design with a natural color similar to what they wore when they won the 1969 World Series.
