Phillies Approved to Wear Powder Blue Throwbacks on Road for NLDS Game 3

Bryce Harper championed the switch as a nod to the franchise’s 1980-era road look.

Overview

  • MLB granted Philadelphia permission to use the alternates on the road for both regular season and postseason play after a request led by clubhouse director Phil Sheridan.
  • The Phillies will don the powder blues for Game 3 in Los Angeles and plan to use them again in Game 4 if the series continues.
  • Philadelphia trails the Dodgers 2-0 in the best-of-five NLDS, with Game 3 set for 9:08 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium.
  • Aaron Nola is scheduled to start for the Phillies against Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
  • The uniforms served as the team’s road set from 1972 to 1988 and are linked to the 1980 title season; the club went 6-1 in them this year and previously wore them in the 2022 World Series (loss) and 2023 NLDS (win).
