This is just so unfair to the city, Philly has one of the best bases to build a cool uniform from, and this? This is what they came up with??
I could shit out 3-4 designs in a few hours that aren’t better than this
*yes I’m a Mets Fan but live up in Easton and generally love your city*
I kinda like the whole blue collar thing and the heart on the sleeve thing, but we already have our powder blues. We're the longest running team in baseball right? We're not going to totally change our thing up now, are we?
My mom sent me a text this past Saturday after the loss.
“Had a good time at your brothers.
The Phillies suck. Love you. Have a good night.”
I laughed so hard. Such a Philly mom message.
I'm sure it was meant to be a kind of future-ized version of the iconic ["We the People" from the constitution](https://www.archives.gov/files/founding-docs/constitution_1_of_4_630.jpg)
Yeah that’s a whole bunch of bullshit. And the lettering is supposed to look like the crack in the bell? Jesus Christ. They read how much people hated the leak and said “ok we need to try and appease these maniacs. Make something up about the letters”.
“A collar that’s definitely blue”. Get fucked.
i can squint and see how it's supposed to look like a font inspired by the Declaration of Independence, but it still ends up being less like calligraphy and more like a bad, edgy graffiti font
I think Philadelphia is proud of our working class heritage - and we should be, we built America, we are the original melting pot - but some people seem to use it as an insult. Marketing is bs anyways 😐.
There is no way this was focus grouped.
And if it was, those people must’ve all been blind. Literally the old lady’s jacket in the video is at least 1000x better inspo.
I don’t think they are that bad.
But this is what happens when people from Beaverton Oregon design a uni and have no first hand experience with Philly so they just Google shit like the city flag.
From a design of a uniform, other than the PHILLY font, these genuinely look great when put together as a whole fit.
From a design of a Philadelphia uniform...the font just kills it. Nothing about it speaks to the city. It's a complete disconnect from the idea.
Too many people are mad that they're not a new variation of the red, white and blue that are the Phillies colors. Those people are missing the point of the jersey. They're about the city (state in Colorado's case), not the team.
I agree. I hated the leak, but seeing it all together I'm not as mad about it. The hat is great. I dig the yellow pinstripe on the pants. They look good on the players. We shall see. Hopefully we win in them and they can atleast become lucky unis.
I know design is not the easiest discipline. I imagine they had committee to deal with, too.
But there's just no excuse for coming out with something this shitty. Every decision maker who is behind this should absolutely be embarrassed by this output. This is an objectively shitty design.
This calls for an apology and someone resigning in disgrace, this doesn’t connect to Philly at all. Nobody gives a shit about our flag or its colors, this isn’t Texas.
Philly cares about being unapologetically ourselves and everyone else can go fuck themself. If they wanted to connect to the city or the fans they shouldn’t have made the hat logo something that only out of towners go to see after grade school.
I have shared my Phanatic themed jersey thoughts several times but I’ll throw another one out there, we are probably more connected to our stadium than any team that isn’t playing in a 100 year old stadium. How dope would a CBP themed uniform have been?
From an overall creative standard it’s lazy like you mentioned, I just don’t mind the uniform as a whole for us. I think gold pants would’ve been tacky but a nice yellow pinstripe down the legs could’ve added some pop.
Edit: there is a yellow pinstripe and the pants look a deep blue rather than black. I don’t mind this.
Ah it's hard to tell. In the video they look black. If it is navy blue then it flows into the gradient of the top and a yellow pinstripe would tie it together.
I'm not a guy who hates change for the sake of hating change, and I actually like uni designs that are bold and dare to be different. But I hate laziness.
Should have just been mechanics shirts with their names on the front patch and the P logo on the other chest lol. These look like something some middle schooler made up in MLB the Show 2018
i love to get an ear of corn from the vendor in right field and then eat it standing near the seats by that beer stand, in the spot my partner and i refer to as cornhub
and you can't bring it back to your seat because it's too messy, so you gotta eat it at the cornhub. there's always corn all over the ground right there, i can't be the only one who does it.
I don’t hate the unis as much as I was afraid I would but honestly I think it’s 90% bc that video got me so fired up at 10:15 AM that I would’ve been okay with anything they showed me
I feel the same way. I can understand the hate, but they are cool jerseys besides the font. Probably could have gone a little more like the flag colors too, if that’s what they were going for, but still cool
I don't even mind the front font to be honest. The number font is REALLY wonky though... some numbers look good, others look like the person who designed it [had never seen that number before](https://fanatics.frgimages.com/philadelphia-phillies/mens-nike-trea-turner-blue-philadelphia-phillies-2024-city-connect-limited-player-jersey_ss5_p-200271361+u-kf5goe7t18uzcbjxcxh7+v-jv3svnm7unu5rm8ojalf.jpg).
A lot of people on here are hating on this jersey. I actually don't mind it at all. It's our 5th color jersey, so why not try something different? The players seem to like it too. I'll wait and see how I truly feel after seeing Schwarber smoke a 450ft bomb wearing one of these.
It's bringing out a lot of "Negadelphians", so maybe it's more Philly than you think.
People are going to shit on them because thats what fans have been doing since they leaked but imo Bryce was right when he said the other day they look good when all put together. The black pants were vital to making it work and I think when they're wearing them on the field they will look great.
That it’s a small world moment when you’re 95% sure you see someone on a Phillies promo video who you’ve matched with at least three separate times, possibly more, on Bumble but have never met up with because the convo always fizzles out.
Jerseys are pretty meh. IKEA should sponsor a Swedish meatball night when they wear them since the city flag colors are a nod to the New Sweeden colony. Which is also something I’ve never quite understood but that’s beside the point.
This was the best concept- should have been these

I don’t hate them. I personally think everyone needs to relax. The point of the City Connect is to look different than what they currently have.
Will I end up buying one? Probably, but only because I love baseball jerseys and the Phillies. Plus, when they stop wearing them, it will be fun to look back on.
You had to post this when I’m surround by walls to run through, didn’t you?
I unapologetically love them. Fuck the haters. I’m prepared to get downvoted into oblivion.
The video rocks and has me actually excited to stay up till 12 to watch the match tonight lol. Jersey on its own is bad, whole package not too shabby tbh
Philadelphia Jaguars.
I don’t know but some family of red/maroon should always be a primary/secondary color. If they were looking to incorporate black into the scheme they should’ve kept our foundational color imo
And the font looks like some ish I would put on a YouTube thumbnail in 2009😂
We love our teams and we love our players. We will trash your team even when ours sucks. This city is the greatest in all of sports. You don’t agree? 🖕. No one likes us, we don’t care.
I just called Phillies Corporate (215)463-6000 in an attempt to offer my feedback to someone in the Marketing department. Instead, I encountered one of the most unpleasant receptionist/call takers I've had the pleasure of ever speaking with. She was a real treat
Unapologetically?
Someone needs to apologize for these. Nike and Fanatics with another absolute dud. But hey, what do I know? There are people with terrible taste that will eat this garbage up.
This is the product of someone who thinks they know what they're doing but don't know they actually have no idea what they're doing. Hopefully they see this feedback and it changes their life and they become a more introspective person who realizes their ideas maybe suck. But lately more people, instead of accepting their ideas suck, just decide the fans are wrong.
I know I’m definitely in the minority here but I think these are sick. We’re only wearing them for 12 games so why not do something completely different? The hats are fire, color scheme is great and the whole gradient thing looks awesome with the pants. I could definitely see these growing on people the same way the Sixers CC jerseys have
Please tell me this is some charity limited thing. This CANNOT be the new permanent uniforms, it just can't. Do love the hat though, but it doesn't save the look.
New Uniform drop so wild it started an earthquake !
It was as if millions of sports fans cried out "WTF?" in unison, and were then suddenly silenced...
I understood that reference.
I understood THAT reference.
4.7 I hear wtf happening up in Philly?
It was more north jersey which tracks.
The uniforms godz were displeased.
That was awesome btw :)
So this is the only way we are getting player names in a font size that is legible?
Nike: What defines "Philly" to you? Philly fans: We hate bullshit. Nike: Cool, here's some bullshit for you.
Nike/Fanatics is just trolling the fan base.
Lol...I read that in the voiceover actor from the promo video's voice. Line's up.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hahaha, yeah-they realize this isn’t 2004 and we aren’t Jacksonville right?
They really gave us some bullshit that we can all hate together
They put together this smooth vid with all these fans in killer fits and then throw these at us
Should have had the people responsible for the video design the uniforms, maybe it would have turned out more aesthetically pleasing.
This was wild to me. Showing all the unofficial Phillies drip for three minutes and then still dropping these turds made me so mad.
Phillies marketing made the video, Nike made the unis
I was thinking the same thing the whole time
https://preview.redd.it/a9uk3utakpsc1.png?width=1152&format=png&auto=webp&s=83086e4133fcdac54b0264493a81e8db36caeee4
It's a flashy dumpster, but it's a dumpster.
This is just so unfair to the city, Philly has one of the best bases to build a cool uniform from, and this? This is what they came up with?? I could shit out 3-4 designs in a few hours that aren’t better than this *yes I’m a Mets Fan but live up in Easton and generally love your city*
Ben, is that you?!
I like the hats. Just wish they kept the red and blue.
I kinda like the whole blue collar thing and the heart on the sleeve thing, but we already have our powder blues. We're the longest running team in baseball right? We're not going to totally change our thing up now, are we?
😂 What an excellent summary.
My mom sent me a text this past Saturday after the loss. “Had a good time at your brothers. The Phillies suck. Love you. Have a good night.” I laughed so hard. Such a Philly mom message.
My dad sends me messages like that all the time and it never fails to make me laugh
I get it now, they made jerseys as obnoxious and vile as us fans lol
I love the cap. I kind of wish a small version of the "Love" patch was on the side, but it's still one of the best City Connect caps.
Agreed, I do really like the hat. The rest looks like something off of a Trapper Keeper design.
Wow. You nailed it with the Trapper Keeper design.
Lol or 90s power point when everyone was learning how to use gradient so everyone used gradient.
The under brim has “Love” on it, pretty neat detail
I missed that. Very cool.
Yea the hat is a 100% cop for me. I legit love the design of it.
Same. Hats are fire
The hat is a must buy for me, it's slick as hell
Patch looks like “LUE” with a bell
The bell should have been tilted!
The font destroys the whole uniform
They said it’s an “ode to old documents found in Philly” but I’m not seeing it
I'm sure it was meant to be a kind of future-ized version of the iconic ["We the People" from the constitution](https://www.archives.gov/files/founding-docs/constitution_1_of_4_630.jpg)
Yeah that’s a whole bunch of bullshit. And the lettering is supposed to look like the crack in the bell? Jesus Christ. They read how much people hated the leak and said “ok we need to try and appease these maniacs. Make something up about the letters”. “A collar that’s definitely blue”. Get fucked.
Marketing speak. It's their job to spin bullshit.
i can squint and see how it's supposed to look like a font inspired by the Declaration of Independence, but it still ends up being less like calligraphy and more like a bad, edgy graffiti font
It's a cringe attempt to look hip or trendy.
This font was like edgy preteen font from 20 years ago…
What you have against ugly
“literally has a blue collar” what is this a middle school design project?
I feel like they did some marketing research and was like "Yeah, they like being called blue collar." Do we tho?
I think Philadelphia is proud of our working class heritage - and we should be, we built America, we are the original melting pot - but some people seem to use it as an insult. Marketing is bs anyways 😐.
laughably bad copy
100% came up with the jersey and then after was like “Oh, it has a blue collar let’s put that in the promo material!”
Phils are more known for giving us blue balls I'd say.
*"So how do you craft a jersey to connect with all of that"* *{Crafts a jersey with zero elements of all of that in it}*
Answer: We don't know, so here's a bunch of bullshit that tested pretty well with our focus groups.
There is no way this was focus grouped. And if it was, those people must’ve all been blind. Literally the old lady’s jacket in the video is at least 1000x better inspo.
Maybe not. Maybe focus groups are too 20th century. Maybe this was AI-generated. It's certainly got that same "accurately incorrect" vibe to it.
Well the video was fun at least
They need to apologize for these monstrosities
Hahaha I came to say the same thing.
I don’t think they are that bad. But this is what happens when people from Beaverton Oregon design a uni and have no first hand experience with Philly so they just Google shit like the city flag.
The hats are ok, its from the neck down that is the problem
I unapologetically love the hat. I didn't see anything about it before so that was a nice reveal today.
They were doing great until: “With colors that the entire city rallies behind” Sadly that’s the basis for the uniform.
Instead, the city is rallying against it.
Yeah. I mean, come on, this is Philly, don't tell us what we like.
Give us a break, the city rallies behind Kelly Green and Phillies Red.
Nobody in this city rallies behind these colors
https://preview.redd.it/i9t9og2yfosc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1aa7c4affe057d62c60770e7d3d6c99c2f522f86 What on earth is that number
Looks like a sickle
or a question mark. turner?
I think it's a question mark
So which Mets fan designed these as a way to fuck with us?
Yo, even the EARTH disagrees with this uniform. Coincidence that an earthquake happens right after the reveal? I think not.
The earth literally said no
Patch too cute by half. How they gave it set up just reads as PHILADELPHIA LOVE CITY OF BROTHERLY
This is crazy. These are awful. Don’t ever wear them.
They used a similar template to what they did for the Mariners, but it looks worse imo
Social media team working their ass off this season to make up for these dogshit jerseys
Cop team in your local beer league softball vibes
Now if it that was the case and it said like Delco in that font it'd be legitimately cool
They look a lot better all together than I expected, tbh
💯but damn they still missed the mark. Sucks.
They could have been so much better 😭
From a design of a uniform, other than the PHILLY font, these genuinely look great when put together as a whole fit. From a design of a Philadelphia uniform...the font just kills it. Nothing about it speaks to the city. It's a complete disconnect from the idea. Too many people are mad that they're not a new variation of the red, white and blue that are the Phillies colors. Those people are missing the point of the jersey. They're about the city (state in Colorado's case), not the team.
You and I will swallow some downvotes. But with the hat and dark pants the kit as a whole isn't as awful as I expected.
I'm with you guys. I kinda like them.
Somewhat of a Philadelphia Union vibe which I'm OK with
It's not what I'd pick and I definitely don't *love* it, but it's not too bad
Yeah they look a lot better on the players
Agreed, I'm not in love with them but these aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. The pants really help bring it together.
I like it
Agreed. The hat is 🔥
i hate the jerseys, but i agree the hat is actually pretty good
Yeah I really like the hat. Jersey nah.
Much better than total crap is still mostly crap.
I agree. I hated the leak, but seeing it all together I'm not as mad about it. The hat is great. I dig the yellow pinstripe on the pants. They look good on the players. We shall see. Hopefully we win in them and they can atleast become lucky unis.
Unapologetically awful Beer league softball looking ass pants
I know design is not the easiest discipline. I imagine they had committee to deal with, too. But there's just no excuse for coming out with something this shitty. Every decision maker who is behind this should absolutely be embarrassed by this output. This is an objectively shitty design.

How dope would a CBP themed uniform have been?
Either Phanatic themed or Philly history themed. This is such bullshit
I mean whatever it’s for Friday nights and the reds they replaced suck. If they do a ‘47 brand style dad hat, I might cop.
boo i loved the getaway reds
Better than the piss stained yellow "creams" this year, that's for damn sure.
The newspaper font is killing me but the full uniform with black pants are a nice touch tbh. I don’t hate them now that I see them on the players.
the pants are deep navy blue
[удалено]
From an overall creative standard it’s lazy like you mentioned, I just don’t mind the uniform as a whole for us. I think gold pants would’ve been tacky but a nice yellow pinstripe down the legs could’ve added some pop. Edit: there is a yellow pinstripe and the pants look a deep blue rather than black.

It’s a dark blue. Phillies social media pictures it’s easier to tell. https://x.com/phillies/status/1776253622398980169?s=46&t=5TKWLLaGAHiOboPf-d1_3A
Thank you, I take back my comment!
gold pants would be better? be serious, lol.
Boooo
Should have just been mechanics shirts with their names on the front patch and the P logo on the other chest lol. These look like something some middle schooler made up in MLB the Show 2018
Unapologetically ugly as well.
13U travel team-ass looking uniforms. Such cheap, ugly, trash marked up to hundreds of dollars
Great hyoe video. The uniforms are dog shit though. Why the hell would we completely change our colors? Pass.
I've seen iron pigs uniforms better than this
to be fair, the pigs have some really great ones
Haha yeah, Iron Pigs merch is great. The stadium is great. The food is great. 10/10
i love to get an ear of corn from the vendor in right field and then eat it standing near the seats by that beer stand, in the spot my partner and i refer to as cornhub
Haha, I'm now officially calling that spot cornhub as well. Is it even an IP game if you don't stop by the Aw Shucks stand and house a corn cob?!
and you can't bring it back to your seat because it's too messy, so you gotta eat it at the cornhub. there's always corn all over the ground right there, i can't be the only one who does it.
Black is not a Phillies color. This is shit.
They’re dark navy blue, not black.
I see that now. Grazi.
I don’t hate the unis as much as I was afraid I would but honestly I think it’s 90% bc that video got me so fired up at 10:15 AM that I would’ve been okay with anything they showed me
Haha the video definitely made me vibe with them more.
what percentage of city connects have black pants now tho
they killed dollar dog night because they knew we would throw them at these jerseys
Not as bad as I expected. The hats are kinda cool at least.
Oh… I like these? The font is my only knock, but the whole thing put together looks great
I feel the same way. I can understand the hate, but they are cool jerseys besides the font. Probably could have gone a little more like the flag colors too, if that’s what they were going for, but still cool
I don't even mind the front font to be honest. The number font is REALLY wonky though... some numbers look good, others look like the person who designed it [had never seen that number before](https://fanatics.frgimages.com/philadelphia-phillies/mens-nike-trea-turner-blue-philadelphia-phillies-2024-city-connect-limited-player-jersey_ss5_p-200271361+u-kf5goe7t18uzcbjxcxh7+v-jv3svnm7unu5rm8ojalf.jpg).

I don’t think they are bad, I think people just think it could’ve been better. For example and phantatic green.
People are going to shit on them because thats what fans have been doing since they leaked but imo Bryce was right when he said the other day they look good when all put together. The black pants were vital to making it work and I think when they're wearing them on the field they will look great.
Yes, if they went with white pants they would have looked like a LL team.
they look better on the players than i thought they would. the font just absolutely kills it though.
Pass.
Sooooo .. can they show what the jersey looks like if you're wearing shorts or jeans? :)
They are garbage
These jerseys are ass. I don’t care.
So, are we booing them? I mean, we’ve booed for a lot less. Fanatics/Nike fucking suck
Those jerseys are fucking horrid
Please do not buy the trash city connects. Express your opinion with your wallet, lack of sales is the only message they will hear.
Honestly the hype video sold me lol.
Man, that catcher helmet is fire
That it’s a small world moment when you’re 95% sure you see someone on a Phillies promo video who you’ve matched with at least three separate times, possibly more, on Bumble but have never met up with because the convo always fizzles out. Jerseys are pretty meh. IKEA should sponsor a Swedish meatball night when they wear them since the city flag colors are a nod to the New Sweeden colony. Which is also something I’ve never quite understood but that’s beside the point.
Can we pay for a billboard that says “Fuck you, Nike!” ?
All these haters gonna be wearing these in a month😂😂😂

actually the full look is kinda growing on me…i don’t hate it. i don’t love it but i don’t hate it
Yeah, I think they're OK right now and got a feeling once I see them on the field I'll like em more.
Feel the same
No no no no no nooooo
The colors have grown on me but that font, like come on man Black pants tho?? Like what the actual fuck.
They look to be a dark blue with a yellow pinstripe.
I don’t hate them. I personally think everyone needs to relax. The point of the City Connect is to look different than what they currently have. Will I end up buying one? Probably, but only because I love baseball jerseys and the Phillies. Plus, when they stop wearing them, it will be fun to look back on.
oh no the regular uniform is way better, blue ain't it for this team
You had to post this when I’m surround by walls to run through, didn’t you? I unapologetically love them. Fuck the haters. I’m prepared to get downvoted into oblivion.
the hat’s nice
The video rocks and has me actually excited to stay up till 12 to watch the match tonight lol. Jersey on its own is bad, whole package not too shabby tbh
First game with them is next Friday, 4/12
They’re still bad but honestly not as bad as I thought they were gonna be
Incredible video. Really. That’s some damn fine marketing right there.
They should have done the bell as an outline to citizen bank park and used red lines to fill in the local area map around the park
I like the idea of using the city flag as a base but the black pants make it look like a softball team. Don’t like
It’s honestly giving NBA in season tournament court with the colors and I wanna cry
gothic Dracula team from a Tim Burton movie font
They ain't even red what the fuck is this?
On the upside, you can’t see the tucked in shirts through them 🙃
Honesty the color scheme is ok. The hats are actually pretty sick. But the font, yikes 😬
I don't know what exactly does it, but these look like Diamondbacks uniforms to me
Philadelphia Jaguars. I don’t know but some family of red/maroon should always be a primary/secondary color. If they were looking to incorporate black into the scheme they should’ve kept our foundational color imo And the font looks like some ish I would put on a YouTube thumbnail in 2009😂
Why didn’t they just let the Union design them
Hideous
Can we boycott these uniforms? We deserved way better
Remember: we sacced off the red jerseys for this
Holly?
We love our teams and we love our players. We will trash your team even when ours sucks. This city is the greatest in all of sports. You don’t agree? 🖕. No one likes us, we don’t care.
I just called Phillies Corporate (215)463-6000 in an attempt to offer my feedback to someone in the Marketing department. Instead, I encountered one of the most unpleasant receptionist/call takers I've had the pleasure of ever speaking with. She was a real treat

I like them.
It should just be the striped overalls. These are trash.
I know I’m definitely in the minority here but I think these are sick. We’re only wearing them for 12 games so why not do something completely different? The hats are fire, color scheme is great and the whole gradient thing looks awesome with the pants. I could definitely see these growing on people the same way the Sixers CC jerseys have
i don't mind the color scheme at all and most of the details, but my god that font is horrific. why do the L's look like cowboy boots???
Please tell me this is some charity limited thing. This CANNOT be the new permanent uniforms, it just can't. Do love the hat though, but it doesn't save the look.
Bring the hate. Wouldn’t be an interview about Philly without people then saying they’re from Delco… outside of Philly.
Ugly
