It will be the first time the City of Brotherly Love has played host to the MLB All-Star game in 30 years, as they last hosted the event back in 1996 when they were still calling the old Veterans Stadium their home.

In anticipation of the the All-Star Game coming back to Philadelphia for the first time in three decades, the team unveiled the unique logo they will be using for the big event on Friday afternoon in the form of a hair-raising video.

It's no coincidence that next year will mark the 250th anniversary of that pivotal event in the United States' history, and this appears to be the main theme for the Phillies as they build up to the event next summer.
