LMU Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Nothing says “unapologetically Philly” like wearing black and blue, the colors your skin turns after getting in a fist fight in the stands at the Vet in 1987. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 As expected, I don't really have much positive to say about Philly's City Connect. The cap is pretty nice I suppose. I'm still really excited for the rest of the reveals to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 @aawagner011 re: the Braves belt loops, I somehow just watched the entire game without noticing that. I have noticed that these new pants have those two big belt loop panels on the front. I'm not sure if its necessary -- I always thought of it as the anchor of the pant side stripe, if you can catch my drift. So, it feels weird to have if the side stripe isn't running up to it. But, shoot, anything that makes it look like the uniform got some extra attention to detail makes it stand out with the way the rest of MLB looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think it's great that they're celebrating NBA journeyman Tyronn Lue. I didn't even know he was from there. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's supposed to connect (ha--"connect") to the LOVE, but the execution of this concept is...nah, man. They'd have been better off surrounding it with either 26 or 40 stars...of course then it'd look even more like the Union, but whatevs. 1 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like the executives showed him the uniform and internally he’s thinking how awful they are but feels obligated to praise them. He’s an Under Armour guy, after all. https://www.mlb.com/phillies/news/phillies-unveil-city-connect-uniforms exactly..... what do these clowns expect, the truth? I don't think any player want to be "that guy" ....... the guy that tell the truth, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope was totally lost yesterday morning. They are pushing these jerseys so much on their social media (Twitter, Instagram)...almost like "please look at this many times and maybe you'll like them more and more..." It's not working. Majority of Phillies fans absolutely hate these. IF....big IF...they chose a different font, rather than this 'Heavy metal cover band / This is Spinal Tap' looking font, it could be a slight improvement?? The "7" looks like a "?" ....or a "2" with a faulty LED display showing the bottom line. LOL, I don't know. The hat however is ok I guess. The Liberty Bell with city skyline silhouette...it does remind me of a generic design you'd find at a Philly tourism store however. 1 Quote º º º º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the hat light blue with a maroon bell and it would sell gangbusters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Maybe I missed it in the threads since a new CC dropped and took over, but does anyone know why the pirates are wearing their road alternate for their home opener? They also paired it with the home hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what other teams are experiencing, I can hazard a guess. 1 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

If they flipped the positions of the outer text it would at least read as "CITY OF BROTHERLY LVE - PHILADELPHIA."

DCarp1231 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The lack of readiness for professional team uniforms is embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 4 hours ago, burgundy said: These were good uniforms? Collars and all? The only problem with this uniform is that the collar doesn't go all the way around, that it's just two flaps. But I, as someone who generally disapproves of pullovers and of coloured jerseys (and definitely of coloured pants), just love this uniform. My other quibble is that the uniform's early-20th-century aesthetic doesn't really go with the hat that is worn with that set. Instead of having the 70s-style "SOX" logo, the hat should have had the C from the uniform's wordmark. Still, overall, even given a couple of flaws, this uniform is a beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
