MORE UNIFORM NEWS! August, FTW!
Wednesday night is 90s Retro Night at Citizens Bank Park. Which is perfect because the Phils are 68 games out of first, you haven’t heard of any of the middle relievers or bench players, Ruben Amaro is frustrating us and, somehow, neon colors are in again.
The Phils and Reds will wear circa 1991-style uniforms, which are basically the same uniforms worn throughout the 1980s (minor differences detailed in William Henderson's hilariously detailed MLB Game Worn Jersey Guide). Unfortunately, I suspect the Phillies will not splurge for throwback helmets and players will wear bright red undershirts, spikes, and batting gloves, effectively ruining the throwback look by turning it into an unfortunate orgy of clashing red hues that not even pussy magnet Kevin Frandsen and his perfectly-symmetrical face could make look good.
Not even I can make them look good?
Not even you, Kevin.
Anyway, throwback night on Wednesday. It’s going to be Unbelievable.

Spacehog? Seriously? They couldn’t find a 90s band with TWO hit songs???
Tommy Greene almost took off my paw when I shook his hand @ Keenan’s in nww. Mother fucker looks like he still can play
Spacehog? WTF? Boys II Men or The Backstreet Boys were busy? Hell, why not lure The Spice Girls to town? At least I’ve heard of them!
