The Phillies were trounced by the Montreal Expos by a score of 10-5 but received even worse reviews for the uniforms which were categorized by many as some of the most unattractive ever worn in Major League play. Bowing to the pressure of poor reviews and player complaints the Phillies discontinued use after the single game of use making this particular style one of the rarest of all 20th century uniforms.
