Brand-New Phillies City Connect Jersey To Launch Officially This Week
The Phillies City Connect Jersey has been quite a topic of conversation. We learned earlier this year that a possible jersey might have leaked as to what it looks like, you can read up on that here or scroll down to see the rumored jersey look.
According to an MLB.com article, the Philadelphia Phillies will debut their Phillies City Connect jersey on Friday, April 5th at 10:00am.
It will be exclusively available at the New Era Team Store at the stadium. They will wear the Phillies City Connect jerseys every Friday home game during the 2024 season starting with Friday, April 12th, a home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Phillies City Connect Jersey LEAKED?
In the very first year of the City Connect jersey, we saw seven teams rep their city in a different way. The Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, and the San Francisco Giants all flashed their new looks in the very first season. These jerseys intend to pay homage to the hometown of the team in a special way.
In 2022, we got the look from more teams including the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels, Milwaukee Brewers, and the San Diego Padres.

Then this past season, we saw new jerseys from the Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, Baltimore Orioles, and Pittsburgh Pirates.
So what about the rest of the teams? Well, that’s when the 2024 season comes into play. 20 teams have already released their new looks, which only leaves ten more teams to go, one of them being the Phillies. But as you will learn, if you’re bringing a new one in, one has to go. They announced earlier this year that they will not be wearing their red jerseys.
Why A New Jersey For The Phillies?
Phillies Nation informed us of a special rule that Nike has. They explained that “Nike has a ‘4+1′ rule, meaning they will produce four jerseys per team, and five if the fifth is a City Connect uniform.
According to Talkin’ Baseball on X (formerly Twitter), this is what the leaked Phillies City Connect jersey looks like. We will find out on Friday, April 5th if these rumors are actually true!
