The Phillies opened the 2012 season on the road yesterday. Jonathan Papelbon made his regular season Phillies debut in the road gray jersey.
On Opening Day, the road jersey is unadorned - no anniversary or memorial patches. In 2011, the Phillies wore a B-patch on their jerseys to memoralize minority owners who had passed away during the offseason. In 2010, Robin Roberts passed away on May 6 and the Phillies added a #36 memorial patch to their unis to honor the Hall of Famer. This is the first time since April 2010 that the Phils are wearing the unadorned road grays.
