Great countdown show that helped me learn a lot about the history of the game. Baseball Seasons was also another good one. Do those shows not air anymore? I could swear I remember watching Prime 9 highlights from 2017 last offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more entertaining is better then let's go for it! But seriously, I'm just not that impressed that players are using these advanced gloves to make one-handed catches that probably wouldn't even be possible without the modern materials on gloves. The gloves have altered the game too much in my opinion. Stickum was giving an advantage and was banned, so i don't see why these modern gloves are allowed either. Or the NHL should have unlimited stick technology to make shots quicker and more accurate while reducing goalie pads to the size of a thimble that can break a clavicle..... Oh wait. F*&#&#&!

philly97flyer Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The uniforms weren’t a one off last year. They were worn every Thursday home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachperroAZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 They should make the 70's-late 80's uniform their primary in a modernized form. They could totally own maroon since nobody uses that. Alot of clubs in MLB already use red or navy blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Not sure that this is news, unless the news is just that they’re wearing that uniform as a regular alt again in 2019. I think it’s just their Thursday home day game uni.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 For a long time, people used to call the football Giants' classic "ny" logo the best mark that is not currently in use. Nowadays, this Phillies logo holds that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I hope this means its being incorporated into their normal look rather than using it just with throwbacks. I think the Phillies are starting to realize how much the fanbase loves this look and are smelling the $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The 2019 hat has a maroon/light blue batterman on the back, whereas the last two years the hat was more of a true throwback with no batterman. https://www.neweracap.com/SPORTS/MLB/TEAMS/Philadelphia-Phillies/PHILADELPHIA-PHILLIES-AUTHENTIC-COLLECTION-LOW-PROFILE-ALT2-59FIFTY-FITTED/p/70490541 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

And the light blue roads, even though a lot of people on here (you included IIRC) hate all light blue roads. The Phils could totally be maroon and light blue (with the latter as an accent color and maybe alternate road) and have their own unique look, much like the Padres with brown.

The comparison to the Padres does not work because powder blue was never a Phillies team colour; neither was it a team colour of the Cardinals or the Texas Rangers or the Twins or any other team that used it. Powder blue was just one of the standard road uni colours, alongside grey, of the period. (Powder blue happened to dovetail with the name and the overall look of the Royals, which is why they were the only team to wear it well.) You can have the classic P in maroon without the powder blue. This is how the Phillies should look on the road. The maroon looks gorgeous next to the grey. And the maroon alone would be enough to give the Phils something unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Wait - they did not have a batterman last year? Considering it was a full-fledged alt that was in the regular rotation and not a one-off, that would really surprise me.

I suppose it's possible that the angle of Kingery's head could be obscuring the batterman, but this photo seems to verify the lack of batterman.

Maroon/powder blue is such a great combo, one that I wish more teams would embrace.

But one could certainly argue, by virtue of Schmidt and the 1980 World Series winners, and Steve Carlton, and Pete Rose, Larry Bowa, etc., that the Phillies' powder blues are among the best-known of their period. I'd have the Royals, Cardinals, and Phillies as the only really iconic powder blue looks, myself. That's why I think it would be cool if they MADE it a secondary color, if they were to switch back to maroon as their primary. They go together well, and Philadelphia's powder blues always looked livelier to me than the grey roads that followed them (and which you posted).

BBTV Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 On TV (especially the TVs of the 80s) the Phillies powder blue definitely worked better than gray. After growing up with the blue, the switch to gray just made them look boring to me. HOWEVER, in person, the gray is far superior. Those colors - gray and maroon - were made for each other. I think in HD they'd look fantastic. It irks me that they've never worn them in any throwback game. Certainly some team they're visiting has a reason to throw back to one of the seasons between 89 and 91.
