That piping around the neck is distinctive of the Phillies 1946 season. It was dropped for the 1947 regular season, so perhaps this photo is from 1947 Spring Training and the new uniform was unveiled on Opening Day. The Phillies have done this (new uniform unveiling on Opening Day) a couple of other times in their history (1950 and 1992).
