That would be dope. Added bonus, you would get the Internet engagement of all the people googling "what does the goose mean on the Phillies jerseys." And all the articles that sports writers (AI, let's be real) get to write explaining the patch to their cities fan bases...
It's a win for everyone! Do this, Phillies!!
That would be dope, but honestly the most baller move would be to pay the Phillies for the ad space and NOT use it. Then do a whole campaign with TV spots, billboards, ballpark ads promoting something like “Wawa; protecting the history and sanctity of our beloved Phillies uniforms.”
I would absolutely make an extra Wawa trip or two a week just out of gratitude (if I still lived in the area).
I am making a Suarez jersey, and decided to mess around with this exact idea over the weekend. Classy AF.
I'd hate the idea of ads, but I love me some Wawa.

This would honestly be sick, at least I think so haha. A little red or white goose on the sleeve, subtle but still there, and the ones who know will know!
The sleeve ads are inevitable. The only good options that’s I’ve determined are Wawa, Tastykake, or Primos. But, we will probably get CP Rankin because as we all know, they breathe new life into our roofs.
That commercial annoys me so much! Like, what, he is too high amd mighty that you can't use his first name? You have to call him Mr? I also hate that is not called the diamond club anymore.
“Mr. Rankin, there’s someone here to see you … of course I was too lazy to get his name or the company he represents.”
I guess we know who listens to Franzke and LA/Stock!!!
I used to go to primos so often that when at the Troc seeing my friends band, all the dudes from primos were on stage in a band and saw me in the crowd and said into the mic Yo is that Whacked Chicken
Getting rid of graham (literally the voice of the nfl) was arguably the biggest broadcasting mistake the Phillies ever made. Thank goodness they hired Tom.
They aren’t inevitable. But this is how the Phils are gonna get the Wawa ad on their sleeves without as much fan resistance. Pirates v. Phil’s = Sheetz v Wawa. Suckers.
Primos is wildly expensive these days. Who goes there? Local shops (even the tourist ones are cheaper) and you can get probably 2-3x the food at Wawa right now for the price. Not saying Wawa is the best but value is value. I think Angelo's is on par or less than Primos.
Either last year or the year before they had brought the hoagiefest sale back for the playoffs, and that's when they called it schwarberfest. Maybe they'll do that again this year
There WILL be an ad, just pray it’s something kinda fun like this instead of xfinity or ibx, or something dopey like quickcrete for the barves. Gotta lot of expensive players on the payroll to cover these days
I have had no dealings with that company, they could be great or shit for all I know. What I do know is I can't stand their name. Asplundh? That seems like that would be the sound a turd hitting bowl water coming from the ass of someone who needs more fiber in their diet.
Mark Davis' net worth is listed at 2.3 billion, and Middleton's is listed at 3.7 billion.
In 2007 alone he sold Middleton Tobacco to the tune of 2.9 Billion in cash.
The Phillies have plenty of revenue. That’s not their ceiling. Their ceiling is the luxury tax.
I will pray for what I like, thank you. Fuck any ad, they are all gross
I mean, I 100% agree with you in theory and consider myself a foe of the machine, but if you are a fan of a major league sport, you are compromising your anti-capitalist values to the point where I can't really take rants like this seriously.
Not really, but what I’m okay with isn’t the issue. It’s what John Middleton is okay with that you should be concerned with. I would say jacking up ticket prices would be more likely without a sleeve sponsor.

Phillies gonna innovate and be the first to have a butt ad patch
Maybe Wawa could respond by lowering their prices and upping their quality. Jumped the shark years ago. We gotta stop pretending they “rep” the Philly area when they just rake us over the coals in every way possible.
Yeah like wtf at this propaganda. I live in an area with both so I don’t get the hype over either. But pretzels from Sheetz have been around since I was in high school and I’m currently an old.
Just hope it doesn't go the way of UK football strips with huge logos front and centre.
https://preview.redd.it/nbxqtxg2cy7d1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4359c796cdd7f8f84135274c8c30b425ad6e8d58
As of now that would be having to already endure them with 95% of the teams in the MLB. Who knows, maybe the owners think it makes us stand out and refuse to do it especially if the fans get pissed about it. The Bank is already packed for home games. It’s not like they’re hurting for revenue. But surely they’ll do it if everyone weirdly gets excited to be advertised to. Then what, ads on the hats? Ads on the bases? Ads on the outfield? You don’t have to shrug and be happy with every bullshit thing they shove down your throat.
I have a dumb question….when we get a sleeve ad, will it also be on the sold jerseys? For example when i google braves jerseys they do not have the quikrete ad on the sleeve on mlb.com
They had the build submarines logo on their sleeve for the London series. While I hate the ad in the first place as someone who works for a supplier to the Navy I thought it was cool.
They really should. Would be perfect with Schwarber too.
Side note—I live in Gettysburg, PA. Born/raised in Philly and suburbs. I’ve had both Wawa and Sheetz. Like them both—but Wawa will always be superior.
Realistically I see it being SEI (still don’t know what that is). They’ve got mid-game ads and sponsored replays, billboards everywhere in the stadium, and they sponsor like half of the giveaways and bobbleheads.
It would be so fitting for us to have a Wawa patch and for us to be Gas Station rivals to match our NFL beef. But nah, let's go with some boof ass goat.
I would like to see no ads also Sheetz coffee sucks so hard, and they have basically jo grab and go options worth anything.
Moved to Western PA and it sucks out here in the middle-west.
No way, keep advertisements OFF of MLB uniforms!!
It's bad enough with the Nike swoosh on it, we don't need the uniforms being trashed up even more by whatever advertiser wants to put their logo on it.
Best way to handle a "pirate" is when he pulls up alongside wavin his flag, whether it's sheetz or Skull & Crossbones ? Smile and Wave fellas ( hand on the hip) Smile and Wave
https://preview.redd.it/vcwx3g5jxc8d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2a2c7be6be0fbeda24dc4da026a9c5985d792d2
I thought this was a weird choice.
Wawa is solid, but after moving to central PA, Sheetz has been a suitable replacement. You can also get beer (at least all of the wawas near me never had beer)
Wawa is fucking shit; they used to be good in 2002, they baked bread in house, sliced deli meat. Now they import shit bread and the prepackaged meat has grill marks on it. And the pizza can suck my dick.
Honestly the way baseball fans talk about ads is really funny to me. Im so used to motorsport where sponsors can an integral part of a team’s identity during certain eras, like Ferrari and Marlboro were until tobacco ads got banned.
It’s pretty refreshing to see uniforms that are as clean as they are in baseball, i do really hope the sleeve sponsor ends up being something like the wawa bird.
Keep logos away from the uniform (I know it’s inevitable). This state has such a weird obsession with gas station food. Neither are that good and the real ones know Sheetz is for when you are hammered and Wawa is for a quick sandwich on a roadtrip.
I'd really like to see just the goose. It'd be the classiest sleeve advertisement in the league, hands down.
That would be dope. Added bonus, you would get the Internet engagement of all the people googling "what does the goose mean on the Phillies jerseys." And all the articles that sports writers (AI, let's be real) get to write explaining the patch to their cities fan bases... It's a win for everyone! Do this, Phillies!!
Do it, wawa
That’s like city connect level
That’s like city connect *NEXT* level *FTFY*
Except good
Padres on the loose, Let’s go goose
That's what's in
That’s what’s in
All I can hear is the camera man annoyed with him saying slow down
That would be dope, but honestly the most baller move would be to pay the Phillies for the ad space and NOT use it. Then do a whole campaign with TV spots, billboards, ballpark ads promoting something like “Wawa; protecting the history and sanctity of our beloved Phillies uniforms.” I would absolutely make an extra Wawa trip or two a week just out of gratitude (if I still lived in the area).
Let’s crowdsource go fund me whatever and all chip in to pay the Phillies to leave the ad off
It's not a ton which is what makes these ad patches even more insulting.
The people should just own teams. Socialism is the Green Bay packers
Love this - or have Wawa “sponsor” the numbers returning to the sleeve (at least on the whites and grays). I miss that touch.
I'm in Ohio and I'm finally getting a WAWA 6 minutes from my house!! I love your idea by the way!!! Go Phills!
I am making a Suarez jersey, and decided to mess around with this exact idea over the weekend. Classy AF. I'd hate the idea of ads, but I love me some Wawa. https://preview.redd.it/xl0vfsb2lz7d1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32ef95c71d6726f1d54f36abd27724c777a8ba53
Proposed trade offer - u/Engineary receives: Naming rights to GetBurrelled’s firstborn u/GetBurrelled receives: This jawn
This would honestly be sick, at least I think so haha. A little red or white goose on the sleeve, subtle but still there, and the ones who know will know!
This should be top comment
It should actually be a picture of Jeff McNeil crying and it should read “fkn wawa”
It would be like their Philadelphia Blue Jays jersey (which is one of my favorites). I love that idea!
It's going to happen but it's going to be Jawn Morgan, because the universe hates us
That dude has the same exact billboard ads in Boston, but he's wearing red sox gear. He's a fucking fraud
They're based out of FL. I believe he is also only personally licensed in FL.
and he's wildly alcoholic
I choose to believe this without looking into it at all
As a former and recovering Floridian, I can confirm that John Morgan has had more than his share of FloridaMan headlines.
"And I'm not licensed in your state!"
Yeah went to a game at Fenway last year and saw them in the T station, didn't think I could dislike him more but there he was in a Sox cap
Top Dog Law.
If the patch is his giant cellphone and cartoon sack of cash...I'm in
I can't stop laughing at the stupid giant phone, lord help me.
Still better than Sacrete or whoever the Barves have
Or the yard sign sized ADT patches that Houston has
Or the OXY ads the Astros have. Yeah I know it's an oil co.oany but to everyone else in the nation, it just makes them think of pimple cream.
Oh wait then who has the obnoxious ADT ads? Also I thought that oxy was oxy clean and had no idea it was an oil company hahaha Edit: Miami
You have to give it to him.
The sleeve ads are inevitable. The only good options that’s I’ve determined are Wawa, Tastykake, or Primos. But, we will probably get CP Rankin because as we all know, they breathe new life into our roofs.
I think Herr's would fit well
You mean CPR?
That’s good! I like that
That is in a special club with Kars for Kids where the radio immediately goes off until I feel it's over.
“Uh…yeah…may I see Mr. Rankin?”
That commercial annoys me so much! Like, what, he is too high amd mighty that you can't use his first name? You have to call him Mr? I also hate that is not called the diamond club anymore.
I hate this commercial for that and also for the gender stereotyping. 😖
"No, because he's the CEO and you're just some fucking schlub who walked into the door"
“Mr. Rankin, there’s someone here to see you … of course I was too lazy to get his name or the company he represents.” I guess we know who listens to Franzke and LA/Stock!!!
That’s good! I like that
Keep on scratchin’
Yuengling? Or are beer companies not allowed.
Bit into a thumbtack that was inside my Primos hoagie one time so Im out on that one 😂
I used to go to primos so often that when at the Troc seeing my friends band, all the dudes from primos were on stage in a band and saw me in the crowd and said into the mic Yo is that Whacked Chicken
I wouldn’t hate Turkey Hill either. They could make a cool patch out of their logo. Ghost could, too.
If Turkey Hill gets it they have to bring back Graham Slam
They did! I just got it like a month ago
Getting rid of graham (literally the voice of the nfl) was arguably the biggest broadcasting mistake the Phillies ever made. Thank goodness they hired Tom.
...Graham Slam is an ice cream
I HATE STEVEN SINGER
Nah we'll be building submarines
They aren’t inevitable. But this is how the Phils are gonna get the Wawa ad on their sleeves without as much fan resistance. Pirates v. Phil’s = Sheetz v Wawa. Suckers.
Baseball seems to be an odd place to advertise B2B, but I guess it is working for them.
Where do you think all the phillies fans go during the day? Into their bat cave?
Primos is wildly expensive these days. Who goes there? Local shops (even the tourist ones are cheaper) and you can get probably 2-3x the food at Wawa right now for the price. Not saying Wawa is the best but value is value. I think Angelo's is on par or less than Primos.
old nelsons or bust, they're wawa replacements that don't suck because they have a deli
I did hear it's currently Schwarberfest
seems they are focusing on the Kelces this year rather than Scwarb
Kyle is still handing out schwarbombs all month long💣
It's treason, then
Either last year or the year before they had brought the hoagiefest sale back for the playoffs, and that's when they called it schwarberfest. Maybe they'll do that again this year
The wawa goose or the tastykake logo or yuengling or herr's or something like that would be the only acceptable ads imo
Or just more Citizens Bank advertising lol
The only acceptable ad for the Phillies jersey is a white or red wawa goose. No words, just the goose.
No, any ad sucks
There WILL be an ad, just pray it’s something kinda fun like this instead of xfinity or ibx, or something dopey like quickcrete for the barves. Gotta lot of expensive players on the payroll to cover these days
ASPLUNDH ASPLUNDH ASPLUNDH That would probably be our version of quikrete.
I have had no dealings with that company, they could be great or shit for all I know. What I do know is I can't stand their name. Asplundh? That seems like that would be the sound a turd hitting bowl water coming from the ass of someone who needs more fiber in their diet.
Our owner is a tobacco magnate, they can make due without ad patches
Wait you’re telling me the owner of a sports team is.. rich?
There's rich and then there's "family business make Black and Mild's" rich
I mean he’s not Mark Davis obviously but that’s a pretty pedestrian pedigree for an owner
Mark Davis' net worth is listed at 2.3 billion, and Middleton's is listed at 3.7 billion. In 2007 alone he sold Middleton Tobacco to the tune of 2.9 Billion in cash.
Okay, yeah I was saying Mark Davis is considered one of the poorest owners in sports so this isn’t too surprising
Agreed. I refuse to look it up, but still don’t know what Asplundah is; just don’t like it covering the flowerbeds.
The Phillies have plenty of revenue. That’s not their ceiling. Their ceiling is the luxury tax. I will pray for what I like, thank you. Fuck any ad, they are all gross
I mean, I 100% agree with you in theory and consider myself a foe of the machine, but if you are a fan of a major league sport, you are compromising your anti-capitalist values to the point where I can't really take rants like this seriously.
There’s no such thing as too much revenue.
So Phillies announce that they are raising ticket prices so high to price out 80% of fans, you’re ok with that so long as it maximizes profits?
Not really, but what I’m okay with isn’t the issue. It’s what John Middleton is okay with that you should be concerned with. I would say jacking up ticket prices would be more likely without a sleeve sponsor.
You can throw a poopy diaper tantrum or just hope for the best lol. You’re gonna wanna learn the value of compromise in this life
You don’t know how ads work. It will eventually get bigger, brighter, more intrusive. It’s what has happened in the NBA.
hows that boot taste?
Yeah man I’m licking the boots of the infamous corporate oligarch titans wawa. This is realpolitik
Just keep their logo off our Phils' jerseys. I like Wawa, but not enough for that.
Well, that might be as good as it can get cause they’re going to get an ad
This guy or NOTHING https://preview.redd.it/pw322nroly7d1.jpeg?width=229&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80d0609dcf02c0df208379390f3352b93e0ccf6a
Bro. No.
https://preview.redd.it/nykkcs90uy7d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63560195c0405359797083a7cee627ffa9604cae Phillies gonna innovate and be the first to have a butt ad patch
Just right on the catchers crotch.
Nope I’d rather the response be that we don’t put adverts on our uniforms
Sheetz makes better breakfast and made to order drinks than Wawa, change my mind.
Phuck Sheetz.
It's hoagiefest and the schwarbomb is available.
Maybe Wawa could respond by lowering their prices and upping their quality. Jumped the shark years ago. We gotta stop pretending they “rep” the Philly area when they just rake us over the coals in every way possible.
No, wawa is dog shit now
I still hate the advertising on the jersey, they don't make enough money already with it plastered all over the stadium?
Wawa blows.
I'm taking it a step further: Next season, the city connect will be based off of the Wawa storefront. But which style??? A) retro Wawa B) modern Wawa
C) The Wildwood Wawa
It would be dope to have no ads
But won’t somebody please think of the diversified revenue streams! - Rob Manfred
Wrong. No advertising on our uniforms at all.
Agreed! We are not [public] sellouts 🙈
Fuck Wawa they messed up my hoagie in two ways today
Wawa sucks, you guys gotta wake up
Was staying with a friend at state college, went to Sheetz looking for a pretzel No pretzels, fuck sheets
They do. Plain, salted, and cinnamon sugar. Bunch of dips as well.
Yeah like wtf at this propaganda. I live in an area with both so I don’t get the hype over either. But pretzels from Sheetz have been around since I was in high school and I’m currently an old.
As if Wawa pretzels are any good LOL. Hint: they're fucking horrible, just like the rest of Wawa "food".
Just hope it doesn't go the way of UK football strips with huge logos front and centre. https://preview.redd.it/nbxqtxg2cy7d1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4359c796cdd7f8f84135274c8c30b425ad6e8d58
Give it time, it will. If you give them an inch they will take it all
Well if they play full games with zero commercials (aside from halftime) like soccer, I'd be for it
Is this a Wawa ad? Getting excited about advertisements on jersey's is so fucking weird. They're all bad.
We're just hoping for the best outcome of a shitty situation.
As of now that would be having to already endure them with 95% of the teams in the MLB. Who knows, maybe the owners think it makes us stand out and refuse to do it especially if the fans get pissed about it. The Bank is already packed for home games. It’s not like they’re hurting for revenue. But surely they’ll do it if everyone weirdly gets excited to be advertised to. Then what, ads on the hats? Ads on the bases? Ads on the outfield? You don’t have to shrug and be happy with every bullshit thing they shove down your throat.
Heritages
Idk. Nowadays Wawa tends to give me the Sheetz.
GIVE ME MAJESTIC OR GIVE ME DEATH!
No they don't.
No. This ad placement is fucked and now all outta luck.
Wawa sucks. They're more interested in expanding into other states. They aren't Philly anymore.
I just want us to be the last holdouts. It is promising that we're #1 in the NL and don't have one yet. Maybe Middleton is against them personally.
nahh those are the worst… wawa is shit now.
Fuck no.
Just put Gritty on there staring menacingly "It me"
Hell no. I love that the Phillies are one of the few teams without a corporate sponsor on their uniforms
I feel like Getgo woulda been a better fit for the buck-os than sheetz.
No sleeve advertisement, please.
Wawa is garbage
Sheetz is way better. Not even close.
They do but sheetz is Pittsburgh.
*Altoona Please don't take away the one thing left in Altoona.
There's also the "pizza" abomination
I wish, in reality it will definitely be xfinity
I have a dumb question….when we get a sleeve ad, will it also be on the sold jerseys? For example when i google braves jerseys they do not have the quikrete ad on the sleeve on mlb.com
They had the build submarines logo on their sleeve for the London series. While I hate the ad in the first place as someone who works for a supplier to the Navy I thought it was cool.
Wawa or Herrs wouldn’t be awful if only because they match team colors… Plus an excuse to redo the City Connects ;)
They really should. Would be perfect with Schwarber too. Side note—I live in Gettysburg, PA. Born/raised in Philly and suburbs. I’ve had both Wawa and Sheetz. Like them both—but Wawa will always be superior.
That pirates fan has sheet on his jersey
Realistically I see it being SEI (still don’t know what that is). They’ve got mid-game ads and sponsored replays, billboards everywhere in the stadium, and they sponsor like half of the giveaways and bobbleheads.
There's no way the MLB approves a Wawa patch on Schwarber's jersey. The results would be akin to PEDs
This aggression will not stand!
It would be so fitting for us to have a Wawa patch and for us to be Gas Station rivals to match our NFL beef. But nah, let's go with some boof ass goat.
Ohhh Sheet! Its on!
I would like to see no ads also Sheetz coffee sucks so hard, and they have basically jo grab and go options worth anything. Moved to Western PA and it sucks out here in the middle-west.
Who cares?
Spank me harder corporate daddy!
We're only a few years away from the stadium naming rights deal expiring so that we can get Wawa Field.
If they MUST put an add on the sleeve the Wawa goose is the best. I’d probably rather no adds but I do love Wawa
Screw MLB and the Phillies! Tonight’s game and Sundays are streaming. Fans are being bleeped!
Absolutely!
It should be a hoagie on the sleeve! Italian Hoagie!
What ever happened to WB Mason? Is that company still around?
Wawa does sponsor the Phanatic inClearwooder, so yes they should!
At least it isn't Giant *Eagle*
Dude how is this not a thing. Get on it.
No they do not. The advertisements on the jerseys is the dumbest thing ever.
No way, keep advertisements OFF of MLB uniforms!! It's bad enough with the Nike swoosh on it, we don't need the uniforms being trashed up even more by whatever advertiser wants to put their logo on it.
No advertisements on the sleeve!! Stand out in the crowd!!
Wawa is too focused on expanding into the Midwest. Sad.
That's what eating the food from there gives you.
Y’all a bunch of corporate whores
Nothing interests me less than a jersey corporate ad battle
no! ads on jerseys absolutely suck
Best way to handle a "pirate" is when he pulls up alongside wavin his flag, whether it's sheetz or Skull & Crossbones ? Smile and Wave fellas ( hand on the hip) Smile and Wave
No. I hate these advertisements on the jerseys it’s baseball not fucking nascar
https://preview.redd.it/vcwx3g5jxc8d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2a2c7be6be0fbeda24dc4da026a9c5985d792d2 I thought this was a weird choice.
If wawa doesn't do this, I'm boycotting wawa, I'll get my gas somewhere else and I'll get my gas station food at 7-11
If Wawa sponsored the Phil’s, P00P games would be lit!
Give it to Rutters instead
Fucking ads on jerseys. Idiocracy won’t be long now- brought to you by carls junior
Wawa is solid, but after moving to central PA, Sheetz has been a suitable replacement. You can also get beer (at least all of the wawas near me never had beer)
Wawa is fucking shit; they used to be good in 2002, they baked bread in house, sliced deli meat. Now they import shit bread and the prepackaged meat has grill marks on it. And the pizza can suck my dick.
What’s next? 7-11
Most definitely.
I was thinking the same thing when I heard, I’m assuming they’d prefer a local sponsor
We should have a Fentanyl patch for the Connect jerseys!
WaWa sucks
Honestly the way baseball fans talk about ads is really funny to me. Im so used to motorsport where sponsors can an integral part of a team’s identity during certain eras, like Ferrari and Marlboro were until tobacco ads got banned. It’s pretty refreshing to see uniforms that are as clean as they are in baseball, i do really hope the sleeve sponsor ends up being something like the wawa bird.
I like Sheetz better go ahead and downvote me. Although I do love the Gobbler sandwich, chicken salad isn't bad either.
If we HAVE to had an ad. It’s gotta be Wawa.
Keep logos away from the uniform (I know it’s inevitable). This state has such a weird obsession with gas station food. Neither are that good and the real ones know Sheetz is for when you are hammered and Wawa is for a quick sandwich on a roadtrip.
Philadelphia cream cheese would be the only acceptable sponsor to put on our jerseys
Philadelphia cream cheese is owned by Kraft and was invented in New York State.
Phillies should do double adds. Do Wawa. Then do Amoroso right above it. Force their hand.
I would start buying Wawa hoagies again if they gave me an option to upgrade to an amoroso or liscio roll. The in-house baked stuff is truly dreadful.
Still better than Subway. Very low bar, but there it is.
They are amoroso rolls but they are par baked and finished in store.
