We may have all gotten an early glimpse of the Phillies’ City Connect jerseys. If we did, our worst fears may have been realized.
Every year since 2021, MLB and Nike have rolled out several specialty jerseys designed to connect the city, its history and culture with the baseball team that plays there. Some of them have been pretty good (Washington’s grey and pink flower blossom jerseys are the best, IMO), and some have been pretty awful. ESPN did a ranking last summer of all the City Connect jerseys and, if a social media post out on Wednesday morning is to be believed, it’s like the Phils’ may descend to the bottom of that list.
