Phillies debut new 'City Connect' uniforms | Here's what fans think
well the Phillies sported a new look
tonight and fans are divided over the
new city connect uniforms the blue and
yellow jerseys debuted during tonight's
game and action news reporter Caroline
Goin headed to the ballpark to see just
where fans
stood well there are a lot of opinions
about these new city connect jerseys the
Phillies are set to wear them every
Friday that they play here at the bank
and tonight was night one it's a new
look for one of America's oldest
baseball teams I don't know I just think
these are just unique I'm going to be
honest the city connect jerseys they're
ugly love them or hate them the Phillies
wore their City connect uniforms for the
first time tonight and some fans
followed sued that's why all three of us
bought the tickets today cuz that's we
wanted to see the jerseys that's the
only reason we're actually here cuz we
saw the jerseys so we're like I might as
well come out and watch a game the

supporting it and and whatnot but it was
it was definitely different to see for
sure the colors are based on the blueing
yellow of the city's flag the
Philadelphia skyline is depicted on the
inside of the uniforms collar and the
pattern of Philly across the chest is
similar to text found on historical
documents written in the city including
a nod to the cracks within the Liberty
Bell I like the story behind it but I
still feel we look better in red I love
the the love patch and everything else
that goes along with it and some of the
touches but other than that I don't
really think it represents the city all
that well there are a lot of mixed
feelings about about these new uniforms
which will be worn during every Friday
home game the team calls the design
unapologetically Philly some fans call
it a nice change of pace I love the
Jersey I love everything about the
colors I think it's very new and very
like very vibrant different a good new
what did you think of the Phillies new
jerseys um it was pretty good the
Phillies are one of nine MLB teams
getting new city connect jerseys this
season in South Philadelphia I'm
