1996 All-Star Game Fitted: New Era Drops Philadelphia Phillies Tribute in Bold Red Colorway

New Era just dropped a stunning tribute to one of baseball’s most memorable mid-90s moments with the Red Philadelphia Phillies Black Gray Bottom 1996 All Star Game Side Patch 59FIFTY Fitted. This sharp piece features a striking red crown with black and gray bottom, perfectly complemented by the commemorative 1996 All-Star Game side patch. Available now at exclusive_fitted for $49.99, this fitted captures the essence of when Philadelphia hosted baseball’s biggest stars at Veterans Stadium.

The 1996 All-Star Game was a true spectacle, marking the first Midsummer Classic held in Philadelphia since 1976. The National League dominated that night with a 6-0 victory, powered by Mike Piazza’s monster home run and Ken Caminiti’s stellar performance during his MVP season. What made this game even more special was the emotional tribute to Mickey Mantle, who had passed away the previous year, with players wearing commemorative patches throughout the weekend festivities.

For collectors, this fitted represents more than just Phillies pride, it’s a piece of All-Star Game history from an era when the event still carried that magical, must-watch appeal. The bold red colorway sets it apart from typical Phillies releases, while the 1996 side patch adds that authentic vintage touch that serious collectors crave. With New Era’s classic 59FIFTY construction and that perfect blend of team colors, this drop is destined to become a standout piece in any rotation.
