The Phillies unveiled a new alternate home uniform today, a throwback model minus the customary red pinstripes.

A clean-looking cream-colored jersey will be worn with pants in the same color, featuring a red-and-blue stripe on the outside seam and a wide red belt. The caps are blue with the red Phillies P.

The uniforms are styled after those the 1940s Phillies wore, and will be worn at all home day games.

“It has been a while since we wore a uniform at home that didn’t feature pinstripes,” David Buck, the team’s senior vice president for marketing and advertising sales, said. “We believe the fans will love them.”

From 1946 through 1949, the Phillies wore a similar-styled uniform. Since 1950, the team has had red pinstripes as part of their home uniforms.

Phillies greats Robin Roberts and Richie Ashburn made their debuts 60 years ago wearing the cream-colored uniform.

“It is fitting that we bring back a uniform style from their rookie season because they have been two giant icons in our history,” Buck said.

Fans may purchase the uniforms at Citizens Bank Park between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. After Saturday, the items will also be available at Modell’s Sporting Goods stores.
