Bryce Harper Wears Patrick Beverley's 76ers Jersey at Game 7, Beverley Returns Gesture at Home Opener

Harper dons Beverley's 76ers "City of Brotherly Love" jersey before Phillies' NL Championship Series Game 7, while newcomer Beverley reciprocates by wearing Harper's Phillies gear at 76ers home opener.

Ahead of the Game 7 of the NL Championship Series, Philadelphia Phillies player Bryce Harper was seen entering Citizens Bank Park in a Philadelphia 76ers' jersey of Patrick Beverley, surprising fans and creating a buzz on social media.
The Jersey worn by Harper wasn't just any jersey; it was a specially expedited 'City of Brotherly Love' edition carrying the number 22, the number Beverley, a two-time NBA All-Defensive Second Team selection, was expected to wear in his first year for the Sixers.
Although the two Philadelphia stars hadn't met personally, Beverley expressed his appreciation for Harper's gesture, stating that he showcased love and respect towards him despite not knowing each other.
Returning Harper's kind gesture, Beverley was seen at the 76ers home opener in a Harper jersey, shooting warmups in his No. 3 Phillies gear. This act of reciprocation was appreciated and well-acclaimed among Philly's fan community.
Despite the warm reception between Harper and Beverley, Harper was mocked on social media for wearing the 76ers jersey, as some fans considered it a bad luck omen because the Sixers have not won an NBA title since 1983.
