I do not hate these.

I don't hate them either. However, I'm not a fan of this new trend of powder blue alternates. Especially for home jerseys. I didn't really watch baseball in the 80's so I have no nostalgia for them and they were mainly used as away jerseys. I believe St. Louis the only one that actually wears theirs on the road.

I love the 80s aesthetic. Back when the Cubs, Cards and Phillies wore them on the reg. I agree that it doesn’t make a ton of sense to wear them at home.

I can't say this out loud around other Phillies fans, but their powder blue alternate is probably my least favorite of their current uniforms.

Although, I did go to the World Series game where they wore them and I bought a Bryce Harper powder blue jersey with the World Series patch at the game to commemorate the occasion.

Forgot about the Royals as well. I've got a George Brett throwback that is nice. It makes more sense for teams that already have blue baked into their color scheme.

I’m the opposite. I grew up in Houston in the 80s, and although the Phillies broke the hearts of all Astros fans in that 1980 ALCS, I always loved those Phillies unis of that era. The home pinstripes were great, but there was something about those powder blue road unis that I just really liked a lot. Maybe because maroon and powder blue shouldn’t work together at all, but somehow it does? I dunno. I secretly liked a lot of the players on those Phillies teams as much as I liked the Astros players. That was an amazing series, but it did sting coming out on the business end of it.

I do agree that the powder blues work better as road unis, and I do like that idea of returning to the pullover V-neck style too.

Even though I grew up in central IL as a Cubs fan (converted to a White Sox fan in the Frank Thomas era) I had an awesome Astros jersey as a kid that I loved. Those things were awesome…
