Clinching their first National League East title in more than a decade, the Philadelphia Phillies are headed to the playoffs, with hopes of another shot at the World Series.

In Philadelphia, this time of year is known as “Red October,” a season where tears of joy come just as easy as pain for Phillies fans.

The last time the Fightin Phils reached the Fall Classic was two years ago when they fell to the Houston Astros. In 2023, their World Series hopes were dashed by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

This year, the Phillies need their loyal fans more than ever as they chase the Commissioner’s Trophy. And there’s no better way to show support than by sporting bold team merchandise. Here’s where to snag it.

Justin “Jay” Pross’ beloved Philly street apparel brand releases new sports gear every season, including for the Phillies’ recent clinch of the National League East title. The “We Own The East” line of merch is now available for preorder. Dress like the best, including Eagles head coach Nick Siriani and offensive tackle Jordan Mailata, with Art History 101.

After Dhwani Saraiya’s illustrations of Sixers and Phillies players started going viral on Twitter (now X), she began receiving nods from the Sixers themselves and even landed a mural at Citizens Bank Park.
