This is an amazing job by the Bat King and Victus over in King of Prussia to get the Phillies ready for their London showdown with the Mets:

Victus doesn’t fucking miss, man. The Phanatic dressed as a Beefeater is awesome! We have Brandon Marsh’s caveman in some Union Jack Vipers, another features the Parliament Square telephone booth, and just the classic American flag so the British don’t forget who won the Revolution. Pencil in three bombs for the guy using the stars and stripes on British soil. Suck it, King George. Now whoever decided to go with the Union Jack custom bat is lucky we’re not living during the Red Scare or I’d be forced to call them a commie.

During his appearance on the Phillies Show, Bryce Harper said that he planned on using his custom Phanatic bat during the London Series and doesn’t care if he gets a letter from MLB or not:

Wrist guard, arm sleeve, spikes, and batting gloves are all going to be decked out in custom gear it looks like. Bryce:

Sidenote: How funny is it that MLB has completely abandoned doing any promo with the Mets? I know it’s a lot more easier to advertise things through the best team in baseball vs. one eight games under .500. But you’d think the Mets would at least give it the ol’ college try. The MLB is creating masterpieces they’ll teach in advertising classes around Philly until the meteor hits Earth:


The Mets are trotting out whoever the hell Jake Reed is in their promo:

On the field or off the field it doesn’t matter. The Phillies are waxing the Mets. Also, fire whoever designed this into the sun:

This is the footy scran of baseball merch. Just a complete abomination. I think they might sell five and that’s because five fantasy football leagues just found their last place punishment.
