During the 2000 World Series, the city decorated some trains on Subway Lines 4 and 7. Line 4, which stops at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx , was turned Yankees-style white with blue pinstripes and the Yankees "NY" logo decorated. Line 7, which stops at Shea Stadium in Queens , was decorated in the Mets colors blue and orange and with the Mets “NY” logo.
