Alternate uniforms.
Today I guess I’m stealing a page from Paul Lukas’ work.
A few months ago I was thinking that the Phillies were staying out of the alternate uniform silliness and that was something to be grateful for because most of them are truly dreadful. In addition the Phillies don’t exactly have a great history with alternates. Shortly after that I heard the Phils were in fact going to have essentially an alternate uni for next year and was somewhat dreading what would turn up.
As it turns out, the dread was misplaced. All in all the new duds aren’t that bad. The historical look is a nice touch and the colors blend far better than the ridiculous blue caps in 1994 did. I still prefer the regular home uniforms, I guess after all these years they just don’t look right without the red pinstripes, but these don’t provoke a “What they hell were they thinking?” reaction like a bunch of other alternates do.

Oh, those look good. I had no idea they were even trying alternates.
