PhilliesPhan1325 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's been awhile since I've posted something of my own. In an older concept, I did a throwback maroon alternate. So I decided to see what a current red alt. would look like. I tried to keep it similar so it could possibly be worn with all three pants. I'm not sure about the stars though. Your thoughts?Here it is with white numbers and lettering. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!"

PhillyPhan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Definitely go with the white letters and numbers. I think they look great with the blue outline. I've always thought the Phils should have a solid color jersey like so many other teams have nowadays. Great job. I like these a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJBerthiaume Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I would go with white lettering, but without a blue outline. The blue and red kind of clash, and I think it would look loads better without an ouline at all, just solid white against solid red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The Phillies script is red with blue stars. That's a big part of their "brand", and short of some one-off specialty shirts, it never appears in any other colors. Any red jersey would have the script in red, kind of like the Angels. The Phillies take branding very seriously. Not saying that you can't experiment with a concept, but I think you have to factor in brand dilution in these things.I'm not sure that the Phillies are a good candidate for an alt. jersey IMO, because their design really doesn't allow for such details like placket piping or any kind of trim (except for the obvious sleeve trim) that would differentiate it from a BP jersey. I don't mind colored alt. jerseys as much as some on here do, but I don't like them when they look like warm-up gear.

PhillyPhan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 This one is perfectionI have to agree! I think the white letters work so much better. I understand about the whole brand thing that BringBacktheVet was talking about too, i just think it looks better with the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have an identity but adding the liberty bell or something tht resembles r skyline would totally stand out like so many other teams do and would promote the city as well, i think you understand what i mean.

Cityofphilly17 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 oh and i also meant to add tht i would totally love to see a powder blue alt. shirt and pants just like da blue jays didm it looks so nice, or they could go with the maroon top like packerbadger was saying, def not maroon pants tht was just "hora awful"(in the words of shaq) lol. i would be satisfyed with a red top and a libertybell patch or an all powder blue. please do it phillies!!! I'm feelin r 4th staright pennant!!!! Lets Go Phillies!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 looks great, but, nothing I've never seen before. It seems this is one of those concepts that NEEDS TO HAPPEN, but instead of happening in real life it just happens on here like 5 times a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm not sure why it needs to happen. I just don't see an alternate jersey really adding anything to their current set. They'd have to have a second set of white pants, because colored jerseys with pinstripe pants look like spring-training uniforms.I'm not even sure I like the idea of the daytime fauxback alt either.
