Phillies to rock the powder blues in 2010

Posted by Kieran Kelly On January - 20 - 2010

CarltonPowderBlues.jpgIn what is one of the best uniform decisions ever, the Phillies will be pulling out the powder blue uniforms this season.

However, it will only be a one time thing and it will happen in Milwaukee. It does make some sense, as the blues were the road uniforms, but it’s still disappointing.

From Brewers’ beat writer Adam McCalvy:

1970s Retro Weekend
May 14- 16 vs. Phillies

- May 14: Brewers to wear reproductions of the home 1972-77 uniforms with “BREWERS” in royal blue block letters on the front of the jerseys and the yellow “M” logo on the cap. The Phillies will be wearing light blue uniforms worn on the road throughout most of the 1970s.

While I was a bit too young to remember the Phillies wearing the maroon and powder blue, I still love them. As anyone who has been to Citizens Bank Park knows, it’s obvious that Phillies’ fans still love the maroon.

Even though this isn’t a Phillies’ initiated thing, I’m still excited to see the powder blues and that iconic “baseball in the P” logo back on the field. Maybe the Phillies can even break out the maroon pinstripes for a game or two next season. I can only hope.

    This is awesome. Although, disappointing that it'll only be for 1 game. They should definitely rock it all year for away games. Everyone would be buying new jersey's!

    As someone who is old enough to remember these jerseys and although I appreciate a little nostalgia, these uniforms are hideous. While I think its ok for them to maybe break them out on occasion, if they wore them for an entire season I couldnt help but think I would be haunted by the just as hideous mid to late 80's Phillies teams I was forced to endure during my childhood.

    Are you serious? How can you say that the Phillies' colors are red & gray? The only gray they wear is on the away uniforms.

    Phillies colors are Red & white with some blue highlighting.

    I've always loved the current Phillies unis, as they've been wearing them the entire time that I've been following them, but a little throwback to the past every once in a while is nice.

    Gives fans a chance to see what the team looked like in the past.

    Now, with the current baggy pants look, these uniforms didn't look as good as they once did, but players like Jamie Moyer and Shane Victorino knew how they should wear them.

    Seeing how things were in the past is a fun thing to do. Bring the old unis back for a few times a year and it's an exciting thing for everyone.
