Brewers, Phillies show off slick '70s throwbacks

Two of the best-dressed teams of the 1970s are going old school on Friday night.
The Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers will wear retro uniforms from 1976 as part of '70s night at Citizens Bank Park. Catchers Carlos Ruiz and Jonathan Lucroy modeled the beauties - complete with maroon pillbox caps and eye-popping powder blue - Friday afternoon.

In an ironic twist, this uniform matchup wasn't possible in the 1976 season, as the Brewers were still a part of the American League.
No word on whether Lucroy will play wearing Darrell Porter's wire-framed glasses to give the ensemble complete accuracy.
