The Philadelphia Phillies are one of four teams — along with the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals — that are getting City Connect uniforms in 2024, joining the 20 clubs who are already part of the program. And we may now have an idea of what at least the jersey will look like.
Paul Lukas of Uni Watch — typically, the authority on such matters — shared images of an eBay posting that features what may be the City Connect jersey of the Phillies.
Lukas added the qualifier that he hasn’t been able to confirm that this is indeed the CC jersey. Phillies Nation reached out to the team in regards to the potential leaks, but a request for comment wasn’t immediately returned. This story will be updated if the team acknowledges the jersey in any way.
Here are some additional images of the jersey, including a “LOVE” sleeve patch.
We will reserve judgement on the look until A) it is confirmed that this is indeed the City Connect jersey and B) there is a clear look at how the jersey appears with a hat and pants. Clearly, this would deviate from the red, white and blue color scheme of the Phillies, but it would be in line with previous reports from Crossing Broad‘s Kyle Pagan and MLB.com‘s Todd Zolecki that the blue and yellow Philadelphia flag would be the inspiration for the look.
Phillies Nation first reported that the Phillies are indeed ditching their red alternate jerseys in 2024 to comply with Nike’s “4+1” rule. That means that red pinstripes, road grays, alternate creams and throwback powder blues will remain in the rotation, with a to-be-released City Connect serving as the +1. Perhaps this is the first look at a Phillies uniform likely to be in the rotation for at least a few years.

That jersey would look nice in the miner league’s not in the majors.
Doesn’t say Philadephia Phillies I love the style of the number go with a dark red color jersey. And gray or white pants.

I’d like to connect with a Joe Frazier left hook to the marketing “genius “ who came up with this stupid concept to introduce weird looking uniforms. I’m surprised they didn’t include a large cheesesteak patch.

This is atrocious, I’m trying to imagine any way that may look good with Phillies pinstripes or cream home uniforms. That could be the ugliest combination in MLB

Garbage. Looks like a wet Royals jersey with Linkin Park font.

They are the worst design I’ve ever seen! If they sell one I would be surprised!

If these are the unis, then Nike has very clearly and once again butchered it. They are disgusting. Why can’t Nike actually replicate the 1938 Phillies’ unis, material and all? They have to “modernize” everything and it looks like garbage.

No. This is a disgrace. They could have done better with the colors and logo. Bring the red jersey back instead. Abort mission.

These are a disgrace to the city of Philadelphia. What would have been better is either a cheesesteak jersey design, the all-burgundy jersey they wore for one game in the 80s (Like the Mike Schmidt Cooperstown Collection jersey), or a Philly Phanatic style jersey, with a green uniform that has a hairy design, and maybe the hat they’re using for batting practice, but green. The Phanatic design would allow them to wear green jerseys again for St. Patrick’s Day.

I agree. I feel like if they had gone with a Phanatic Green jersey with Pink text in the Phillies font saying ‘Phanatics’ it would be way better

We came up with a better design for our beer league co-ed softball team in the mid-90s, lol.
