For just the second time in franchise history, the Philadelphia Phillies will wear red jerseys during a regular-season home game when they don their new alternate uniforms against the San Diego Padres on April 14.

The all-red jerseys made by Majestic will be worn six times during the 2016 season: April 14, May 18, June 8, June 20, July 6, and August 4, which are all mid-week day games at Citizens Bank Park.

Usually clad in their traditional white-based pinstripes or cream alternates, the only other time the Phillies have worn red jerseys at home was in 1979 when they fashioned burgundy uniforms at Veterans Stadium.

"We're excited to bring a new, colorful look to Citizens Bank Park this year," David Buck, the Phillies' senior vice president of marketing and advertising sales, said Monday. "We have great respect for the history of our uniform, so by going with a simple, classic design, we feel we've been able to balance a new look with our storied tradition."
