The Phillies will debut their new City Connect jerseys on Friday against the Pirates.
The Phillie Phanatic shows off the Phillies' City Connect jersey next to a photo of Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper. The team will debut their new look tonight.So how did the photos leak? Like so many of these stories, it starts with a shipping container and ends with someone cutting open an unloaded box and taking something for themselves — sneakers, jewelry, or maybe even an unreleased Phillies jersey.
The Phillies heard that somebody at PortMiami had grabbed a Phillies City Connect jersey from a box, not knowing the significance of it. The person took the item home, plopped it on their kitchen counter, snapped a photo and posted it on eBay. If this person had opened a different box and grabbed a Wheeler powder-blue jersey instead, nobody would have been the wiser.And so when they were officially unveiled, many, including the players, already knew what to expect. The light blue-to-navy gradient with yellow accents honors the Philadelphia city flag, and other Philly details include the Liberty Bell cap and the ‘LOVE’ patch on the sleeve.
The leak, however, turned out to be a good thing for the players, Wheeler told MLB.com. It gave them extra time to order their own matching cleats, batting gloves, and other accessories, ahead of Friday’s game.St. Louis and Seattle, per Kyle Corwin , have struggled to get their alternate and City Connect jerseys shipped due to manufacturing complications with the changeover to the new jersey template, the latest in a long line problems in Fanatics first year of manufacturing MLB’s uniforms.
