How to put it together
- 1
Put on the green furry union suit or green sweatsuit as your base layer.
- 2
Layer the oversized Philadelphia Phillies jersey over the green suit, leaving it unbuttoned slightly at the collar.
- 3
Attach the blue felt star eyebrows to the front crown of the green baseball cap using hot glue or safety pins.
- 4
Secure the green snout over your nose and mouth using a thin elastic band tied around the back of your head.
- 5
Put on the green baseball cap, positioning it so the blue star eyebrows sit just above your eyes.

Makeup & hair
Tuck all hair completely inside the green baseball cap. If you prefer not to wear a snout mask, paint your face green with cosmetic face paint and draw bright blue stars over your eyebrows.

Philly Phanatic costume FAQ
- How do I make the Philly Phanatic snout?
- Roll a sheet of green craft foam into a cone, glue the seam, and attach an elastic band to wear it around your head. Insert a red paper party blowout horn through the tip to look like his tongue.
- What jersey number does the Philly Phanatic wear?
- The Phanatic wears a custom jersey with a star symbol or the number 0 on the back, with 'Phanatic' written across the shoulders.

Did you know? The Philly Phanatic debuted in 1978 and was co-created by Harrison/Erickson, the same puppet design group that worked closely with Jim Henson on the Muppets.
