I don't know what the Phillies wore in spring training, but in '83 they definitely had names on the back, set tags and a 100 year patch on the left sleeve.

Nice Piece of Baseball History

Up for auction is an Authentic Pete Rose Spring Training Jersey. This was worn by Pete Rose during the Spring Training Games. This Jersey is a size 42 and was made by Wilson. The stitch on number 83 on the bottom is what shows it’s really worn from him. This was won at the Indiana Sports Charities auction.
