Is there anything better in sports then the smell of the freshly cut grass on a baseball field. Spring is here and baseball has started. WIth the new season apon us we have an entire 182 games to see alternate and throwback jerseys ( and uniforms). Much the same way we did with this past NFL season we will be profiling each of the jerseys in our blog.  Any of these jerseys can be purchased through Empire Memorabilia. Just contact us jersey@empirememorabilia.com or (718)494-3414. All throwback and alternate jerseys with any player name you want.

The first alternate jersey to appear this season was worn by the Philadelphia Phillies on April 3rd. This is the Phillies alternate jersey for 2008.  The jerseys are similar to those worn from 1946 through 1949, featuring no pinstripes and red lettering bordered with blue piping. o it is also a throwback jersey as well as an alternate jersey. Along with the new uniform the Phillies will wear an accompanying cap which is blue with a red bill and a red stylized "P."  The Phillies are on of the six Major Legaue teams not to wear a uniform displaying their city or state.
