Philadelphia Athletics

The the true spirit of the Philadelphia Athletics club was defined in 1905. John Mc Graw, the manager of the NY Giants, said that Philadelphia had a “white elephant” on it’s hands with this baseball team.

This image struck the imagination of Philly fans, and the white elephant instantly became the team’s mascot. White Elephant figurines are still one of the most popular Philadelphia Athletics merchandise to acquire. The White Elephant was proudly displayed on the Philadelphia Athletics jerseys.

At their home at Shibe Park from 1909 to 1954, the As won seven League Pennants and five World Series, breeding a fan who still craves Philadelphia Athletics apparel even to this day. As it begins to get cold around Series time, there are a wealth of classic Philadelphia Athletics sweatshirts that fans hope to wear post-season, and the same goes for Philadelphia Athletics jackets. Name your era, and there are cool clothes to choose from.

The White Elephant graces the front of Philadelphia Athletic hats. No other information needs be added; fans recognize each other. A Philadelphia Athletic T shirt may or may not cover the chest, but the Philadelphia As fan’s heart beats true for a great old team.
