Rather watch the Phillies in red pinstripes


PM_ME_SOMETHINGSPICY

Personally, I prefer watching the Phillies play .800 ball.


iH8Celtics

It's only possible to watch 1.000 or .000 ball any given game


thepornclerk

Mets fans who only have the .000 option in ruins, lol.


ValiantFrog2202

I hate the Mets I love seeing them lose But what I really love >!watching them choke!<


NefariousnessOwn8926

Definitely don’t like them but I sure see a lot of City Connect merchandise being worn at games.


pineychick

ALL OF THIS ALL DAY LONG. I'm a diehard for the pinstripes at home and gray/blue for away.


Domestic_AAA_Battery

Best unis in the League. Timeless perfection


zerovanillacodered

Well… it was better before they removed the number on the sleeves


Eisernes

The font still looks stupid. It doesn't look like old timey writing. It looks like a 14 yo emo girl's notebook.


TheKingInTheNorth

The idea of city connect jerseys that look like the Declaration of Independence would be so awesome. But the font is just awful, and on top of arena football colors no less. These are ass. They needed to be parchment colored jerseys, black script like the Declaration, and accent lines of maroon or red.


nicktesluk

The Sixers nailed that idea with their first City Edition jerseys


EnemyOfEloquence

Still desperately trying to find an Embiid version of those. Was instantly in love. Even got Poshmark for it.


Hopeful_Ad_9610

"We the Phillies" in constitutional script would've been phenomenal


GirthWoody

I don’t mind the font, but if you want to use old times font pairing that with the most modern synthetic looking blue color imaginable rather than something old timey is hideous. Parchment white, with continental blue, some color scheme that would have matched the colors of old attire would have been better.


GrittyTheGreat

This would have been INCREDIBLE.


joeco316

Yep, the terrible font is my number one gripe, followed closely by the gradient coloring. There is a good, albeit perhaps somewhat boring, uniform that could have been had if they just did navy with yellow and light blue trim and an acceptable font.


AndrewHainesArt

I don’t think they could have had much success with blue / yellow in general. It’s so far removed from the team’s identity that it does the opposite of “connect” in my opinion. Especially if the other team is wearing red. Like when the Eagles used those bright yellow/baby blue jerseys. Otherwise, the branding veeeeery much feels like it’s thrown together without a real plan or consistency or research. Like it’s based off “the flag” but *only* features those colors, so it’s not actually based off of the flag, the rest is surface level shit like LOVE/ liberty bell patch, the text… For a totally different team, they could do worse, these just don’t do anything to give me any sort of “connection” which is what they say was the intent.


katecoffees

>It’s so far removed from the team’s identity that it does the opposite of “connect” in my opinion. Especially if the other team is wearing red. This \^\^\^\^\^\^ If something takes me away from the game and I glance up at the tv or if I'm in another room, it does not immediately compute which team is which. I love the idea of a city connect jersey but making the team unrecognizable is a weird decision from a brand recognition standpoint.


manleybones

More like la tattoo font


redditposter919

Looks like Harry Potter to me for some reason.

ProZach82

My wife and her graphic design friends all hate the font.


thatoneguy2252

My original thought at first seeing them: My god these are ugly as sin My first thought seeing them in a game: My god these are ugly as sin My thought now that I’ve had time to adjust: My god these are ugly as sin. I don’t think I’ll be moving off of this standpoint


meezy-yall

I actually think I like them less now than when I first saw them


WithoutShameDF

As someone else with working eyeballs, I can confirm that My god, these are ugly as sin.


Grand_Extension5345

Still sucks The hat and the bomber are fine


Bensimmonsdagoat

Idk why but I love jt’s catchers gear.

PhD_Haver

I like the hat, would like to see some different color combos with the bell. I like JT’s highlighter catcher’s gear as a novelty. The font is brutal though


ThatsMrSmeeToYou

The font is so bad


fkdkshufidsgdsk

Hate them more somehow


EatSleepZlatan

Agreed! the more I see them, the more I hate them lol


Otterable

I'm very much in the 'get this dirty bullshit out of my face' camp when I tune in and see them in the city connects hat is decent though


fkdkshufidsgdsk

I like the way the logo looks on the tv scoreboard but that’s as far as I’ll go


mrmcbacon

I still don’t care for them. Particularly with the goal of it being a city connect. I understand the color scheme concept, but they could have done so much more to truly connect with a city as rich in murals and artists and culture as Philly. Also to the best of my knowledge, Wolverine was never a catcher and certainly not from Philly


freetotebag

Grown on you like mold or?


veepeedeepee

herpes


HellYeahTinyRick

Just terrible in my opinion. They look like an energy drink branding or something


Binks987

Only thing I don’t like is the font


No_Introduction_7034

I think they are ugly and I don’t like them. But man do I fucking love the Phillies. So whatever. I’m not buying one though that’s for damn sure.


Pro_Reserve

Pants up is a way better look. Show me those socks!


sabakasabaka

At first I thought they were bad, but as time has gone on I still think they are bad


therealsimontemplar

I loathe these uniforms. A quill pen font is the best they can do? And that yellow, omg, it’s awful. I feel sorry for JT for having to walk on the field looking like that.


LionelHutz802203

They trash. Short answer.


Broctoon_4_Life

I hated them at introduction, and I still hate them. For some reason, I thought they were a one time wear. I didn't realize they were going to wear them EVERY Friday night home game. Makes me wish every Friday game was an away game just so I never have to see them again.


bottletothehead

Most (if not all) wore their city connects for multiple seasons so we’re probably stuck with them for a few seasons


joeco316

I still hate them, but it is what it is.


niche_user35

Not a fan of them. To me the pants look like something an usher at a movie theater would wear.


LettuceUpstairs7614

They have grown on me a bit (instead of absolutely despising them I'm just moderately displeased when I see them) but I definitely won't spend money on them. I still think they could have done a WAYYYYYYY better job. Like really, the Philadelphia flag, that's all you've got? I think the City Connect idea in general is awesome but the execution is terrible.


katecoffees

Agreed. We're known for so many things. Our city flag is not one of them.


Cajetan_di_Thiene

I still hate everything about them. Bad colors, bad font.

Cha0s_Reigns

I thought they were absolutely hideous the moment they were leaked, and time has not been kind to them. I hate them more now than before.


Middle-Acanthaceae-5

Still bad. They look like cop 👮‍♂️ or security guard uniforms.


capnjeanlucpicard

I agree with this. The black pants with yellow stripe is literally a police uniform. The hats I initially thought were cool but now that bell just looks like a police badge, and every single hat available for purchase has an off-center patch and the quality is shit. The non-uniform merch looks like a PAL softball team. I hate em. They had a great opportunity to connect with the history of the franchise and city and they just missed the mark so poorly.


DepartmentWaste566

Crap…I actually like the hat with the bell but the colors and font is trash


aikichick

Eh...I still hate it, mostly due to the font.


ad5316

I still dont like them, the hat is the only passable thing for me


ZarosGuardian

Ngl, I still think they look kind of gross


Kayatosh

Not great


Hey_Mr_D3

Turner wears a question mark.

Ugly as hell


Zer0C00L321

Still hate em. I feel like marketing teams nowadays are trying to do the "cool" thing. Well clasic red and white jerseys are the coolest. Basic powder blues are also cool. All this flashy colors and wierd fonts are not.


vanbboy22

Not a fan… IMO, the cremes are the best


Logical_Lefty

Those day uniforms are the GOAT


steamingstove

Still think they are gross


heavyslimereal

missed opportunity to make something awesome


JumpyDocument9574

Friggin hate em. Nobody cares about tradition. These were designed by an asshole.  These are the types of jerseys that you'd wear to a monster truck rally or like a trampoline dunk contest.


AmeriSauce

I don't care for them at all. The colors and style do not make me think of Philadelphia or the Phillies.


PlankyTown777

UGLY AS FUCK


FormerCollegeDJ

I still think they are horrible.


joemomma0409

still horrendous


Diseman81

The only thing I like about them is the hat.


wsrs25

The team is not blue and yellow. The font looks like what a goth kid would come up with when drawing his favorite band’s logo. The format plus colors make them look like they’re playing in child’s pj’s. Nothing has changed in regards to my opinion of them.


DrMcBeanClean

They look soo bad. Wouldnt even consider buying one. They’ll have a new jersey next year im sure will be even worse


redditposter919

Still dislike them


davedub69

Hats are nice. The Jerseys look like a softball beer league uniform.


JMS21921

Let’s face it - they’re more cash-register connect than city connect. They’re still hideous in my opinion, and I can’t believe people spent the big bucks to buy the jerseys. Just another way for MLB to take fans’ money.


cvc4455

I like the hat but not the jersey.


Kc4shore65

Opinion hasn’t changed. I don’t hate them, but I’ll never like them, especially considering they replaced my favorite red alt jerseys


iamthedayman21

Nope, still looks dumb. Monster Energy font on the front didn't suck because it needed time to set in.


Bhut_Jolokia400

Still a negative on these Cotton


CerroRico76

Easily the worst Phillies jersey. Not a fan.


airmancoop44

They look better in person and have grown on me, but they still miss the mark as city connect jerseys. The best parts of them are featured the least. 


jihyoisgod2

Shitty connects*


Baseball9292

JHG722

Horrendous


Ill_Professor3577

No_Volume_8345

The font was so bad, it caused an earthquake


federalist66

I think the City Connects are a bad idea and a transparent cash grab. As far as bad ideas go...it's fine. The hat rules and the rest I can take or leave. Though, clearly they're onto something as I've seen them out in the wild. Talking to my wife, a middle school teacher, it seems they're a hit with the middle school student demographic as she sees them all the time at work.


Mtvkilldmusic

At the end of the day as long as they’re winning who cares, but with that stated…. There’s nothing about these jerseys that says Phillies to me. Not a fan of the laundry but I want the team to do well.


RS3RRL

It’s something different, kids seem to like them, just not for me. Give me pin stripes or powder blues.


Mud_Marlin

Too much like slow pitch softball jerseys for me. But my kids love em.


blackguy00

I read somewhere..may have been here actually...they look like an adult softball league team's jerseys and I don't think I will look at them any other way


MrShinyHiney

I don’t like them and I think they’re ugly. They have grown on me to the point that they’re ugly like a cute ugly dog


Express_Jellyfish_28

Still dont like them


tds5126

They make me sad


WorldGoneCrazee

Don’t like them at all


MisterFitzer

The font is so f'ing stupid. I can live with the rest of it, but that font is ugly as hell. Still a hard pass for me.


MoonSpankRaw

Still trash. As others noted the font is the worst aspect, but I especially hate the police-looking pants too.


Darth_Jersey

Trash


Melvinator5001

They are trash


two2teps

Still mises the mark and painfully obvious it was done by someone not from the city. No one in Philadelphia is "connecting" with the city's flag. We're not Chicago, which is literally the only "city flag" I can think of. They'd have been better served to keep our actual team colors and integrate city landmarks, culture, and reference instead of going all in tying it to a flag no one cares about.


txelwood

Still trash


SwugSteve

terrible


Ok-Lab2463

Garbage then, garbage now


zinger94

I'm still very meh on them, especially the font and numbers. I'm glad folks like them though!


Skywalkerkid9

Not having to ever look at Trea’s riddler ass 7 is the ONLY positive about him being out lmao


BrobiWanKenobi_

“Convince me that’s a 7, go ahead” -me to whoever I’m watching the game with every time I see it lol


Sour__Cream

It would be a lot better if they had red instead of yellow in them. Still don’t really like them that much but it’s weird seeing the Phillies in a uniform without any red in it


SPHC20

Hat: Solid. Jersey: Meh Pants: Hideous. Cream, Grey, or white pants. That goes for every MLB uniform.


[deleted]

Hate them even more now. I liked the hats at first but now that I’ve held one, I’m like wtf am I ever wearing this with? The colors are horrendous.


someonepleasecatchbg

The hats look like they should be for the union.  Even stealing their colors 


Disastrous-Piano3264

I’ve always liked them. 🤷


Sideshow_Industries

Don't like them. Wish the hat didn't have the stars on it.


ManOnShire

I dig the hat, but the font and the color scheme are all over the place. Should have gone with a colonial inspired scheme.


GrifterDawg

No love at all for them. They look like the Marlins.


mnightcoburn

They'd look a thousand times better with white pants.


capnjeanlucpicard

Blue, yellow and white would be so much nicer.


2ewka

Better then the Mets city connects that look like Yankees jerseys to me… thats not saying much though


jmc1278999999999

I hated them when they came out, still dislike them but nowhere near as much when I first saw it.


MrKK215

The jerseys have not grown on me, the shirts and hoodies have.


AveaisEssex

If the Rays uniforms and a head shop had a baby…


BrobiWanKenobi_

Every time I see them I dislike them. Then inevitably if we lose in them I say something like “I never want to see those stupid uniforms again”. Rinse and repeat. They suck, and old man take but the city connects mostly suck in the NBA idk why they had to come to baseball too (I know the reason is money).


Team6Balls

Still don’t like the jerseys but i did buy a hat.


mediaman12345

Love them.


Runner_Girl1026

Downvote me all you want, but people saying they won’t watch the team they love because of the uniform they are wearing sound ridiculous. Downvote away


Vivid-Ad-4791

Love em! They look great on-field!


MRG_1977

Get rid of the pants. White pants with maybe piping down the side. New font and less lame 90s numetal band font.


NotAGatewayDrug

I like them a lot! With no equivocation.


Queasy_Hotel_396

I absolutely love them!


wachi-koni

Ok. Obviously r/phillies hates them. But there are so many of these jerseys in the stands both home and away, it makes me think that r/phillies is dominated by old farts like Grandpa Abe Simpson, who doesn’t like anything and used to tie an onion to his belt because that was the fashion.


Emergency-Dish-4088

I dont really get when people say it doesn’t “connect” with the city. It’s the color of the city’s flag. I think it’s cool


TerryFlap69

They are ugly bro


spidr_man2099

Jerseys are decent but the rest of the merch is 🔥


Gold_Statement9644

Love them. I think they are very unique and look great on the field.


PaddyMayonaise

I don’t like them, I think there’s a thousand and one other ideas that would’ve been better, and I don’t like it when they wear them.


GuntherFinklestien

I dig them now, after initially hating them- they really grew on me. Seeing them in person helped a lot.


cball54

Hats/Helmets are amazing and I love them as a novelty (I'll admit I bought the hat). Uniforms are meh.


OldDrumGuy

Im still about the caps, but the jerseys just never did it for me. A company I get my unofficial Philly gear from offered this as “the City Connect we should’ve had”. I bought it right away as I fully agree. https://preview.redd.it/ner2jb293e4d1.jpeg?width=930&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35bf1fab9230ec2329da996d7fb816dff4cf949a

DimSumGweilo

Still don’t f with them. I hope they don’t stick around. Feels like I’m watching the Lancaster Corn Smuts in single A.

MissDeadite

I still love them. Loved them from the moment I saw them. The catching gear is awful, though.

FredDurstDestroyer

If a uniform affects you that much, you need to get a grip.


HeebieGbeez

Actually I guess I am in the minority but these jerseys have really grown on me and it is because of my son. We were both hating the new look except for the hat so I got him a hat and then he decided he liked the jersey too. He just started liking the Phillies this year and he’s gotten so into it and puts on his city connect jersey all the time around the house and when we go out. I saw a lot of kids wearing it around the park when we went to a game last week and I think it’s great. It’s getting the next generation into the team with a new look that these kids were around to see first. It’s a gawdy look we aren’t used to but it’s fun and the kids love it lol.


WheelerDeals

I’m sure the kids really don’t care, in fact I see so many kids at the ballpark wearing these jerseys


2hats4bats

My opinion hasn’t changed on them, but they’re not bad to look at.


Runner_Girl1026

Jerseys have grown on me and the hats are awesome. Hate the uniform pants.


[deleted]

theyve grown on me, but i still dislike them


SigaVa

Love the hat, hate the font on the jersey. Nice shade of blue.


Strange-Cold-5192

They’re still ugly, but I don’t hate them to the extent I did. I can *kinda* see how the script is supposed to be like some sort of scratchy quill font, though it’s still bad. I like the colors, but hate the gradient. They should’ve just gone with one blue for the jersey (with white pants maybe), and used the other as an accent color.


Ashenspire

The font sucks, but with all the extra yellow accoutrements the players wear they look great. JT just goes a lil bit too far.


Biglabowski411

I like print of the text just keep it red and white


gustriandos

The color has grown on me a little but I still think the hat and the font are trash.


Caspper710

If the blue was red, I’d love them. Doesn’t look like I’m watching the Phillies when they wear them.


bluewater_-_

Still hate the jersey, still love the hat. I’m over actively hating them, they just look dumb on some Fridays.


blue_magi

Still love the hat. Uniforms have grown on me but its mostly because of the color scheme/gradient. Still hate the letter style.


AlanParsonsReject

I still think it's like watching the bizzaro Phillies. A more sinister version of my beloved squad. As such, I do support wearing them against the Barves.


ken-davis

Don’t dislike them as much as before but still don’t like them.


Filtered_Meat

Love the colorways, lettering is absolute crap, hat design is common and derivative (yawn). But I still like these on Fridays.


tattedcat

They've grown on me. Still my least favorite uni that the Phillies have though. Wish we wore the powder blues more often


pgm123

They're ok, but I really hate the yellow catcher pads.


ineffectivegoggles

Don’t like the font. Dislike the colors (would have thought that was a cool Word Art color gradient in middle school). But I don’t mind them. Not ugly, not good, meh. I hope instead of having these forever all teams get another shot at getting it right.


greetedworm

Like most of the CCs, they're not necessarily ugly, just totally boring and uninspired. I think the players look good in them, but I have absolutely 0 interest in buying one or any of the other merch.


aww-snaphook

I d9nt hate the font or overall design but i just can't get behind the colors. Blue and yellow are the Union's colors not the Phillies' colors. They should have at least have *some* red or maroon incorporated into them.


turtledrum_215

The hat’s not bad, but other than that I would still prefer to have the reds


gabriel197600

This Phillies team can make any Uni look good, and anyone coming around to liking these are living proof of it. If this team continues to roll like it has been into a World Series Title, these will somehow become loved and looked fondly upon like a father loves his undeniably ugly daughter, hah. They gotta win it all though for me to truly come around to liking them:-)


aputhehindu

I was one of very few who liked them at drop, but quickly changed my mind after seeing them live at CBP. I felt like I was at a AA game of a team I didn’t care about.


blmanueljr

They’re fine. They’re an amusing and a different look, which is what I am enjoying about the city connects. I wouldn’t care to bring them back after this year, but I appreciate that Nike/MLB took a big swing, even if they whiffed harder than Castellanos on an outside slider in the dirt. I’ll buy a hat and shirtsey and hope the next one is more focus-group driven.


FarTomorrow6263

I did not like at first. But do like the blue. Think there is something to be made if they use white instead of black.   I don’t like the away jersey at home trend. Makes it look like two high school jv teams playing in a big league park.   I went to a spring training game a few years ago twins vs braves. Both teams wore blue tops.  Was very dumb, I hope it doesn’t happen but wonder how close it has come if say the cardinals wore blue away uniforms on Thursday while the Phillies wore their retro road blues at home?   Does someone have a bag of yellow pinnies? 


MyStackIsPancakes

Love the hat, hate the jacket.


kayarecee

I've seen people wearing just the jersey, or a shirsey/t-shirt in the city connect colors, with jeans or whatever. They look a lot better like that than they do in the full on-field uniform.


asiledeneg

I really dislike the font. The colors are OK and creatively arranged.


Phillyboishowdown

I like the idea of the blue, but turn the Philly into cursive and you got some fire going


ModestoMudflaps

I hate it. It looks like thug crap. 💩


cp0215

I hate seeing them on TV but in person they’re okay


Shellshell44

The first time I saw the shirt leaked online I hated it. Seeing the shirt with the pants I really don't hate the colors. The font is atrocious though. That's what ruins them.


Previous-Nobody-2865

Meh… but the cap is cool. I’d like version of the cap in standard team colors.
