“Philly Phever” strikes with this selection of (5) 1976-1979 Philadelphia Phillies game-worn jerseys. The Phillies had transitioned from basement dwellers to postseason contenders by 1976, and the fine fellows that donned these shirts gave their best to keep their squad in the playoffs hunt through the late-1970s. All (5) of these zippered jerseys show moderate wear/use and all remain very attractive.



Featured are:

Number 27 patches are seen on the front and back, however the nameplate has been removed. Willie “The Phillie” Montanez wore number 27 with the Phils from 1971-1975 and was traded to the Giants in May of ’75. No player on the 1976 Phillies roster wore this number.
