The home alternate cap is navy blue with a white feathered "F" with an ostrich fist serving as the middle stem.

The alternate jersey for road and select home games is black with sky blue undersleeves, with the aforementioned "Baseballtown" wordmark on the chest, Bunbino on the left sleeve, and the Phillies "P" on the right.
