The Philadelphia Phillies are preparing for their Game 3 matchup against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Coming off their heartbreaking loss in Game 2 after having a four run lead, it's fair to wonder what their mindset is right now.

Manager Rob Thomson said they accomplished their goal of getting a split during the road portion of the series before heading back home to play two games in front of their home crowd.

Many of the players offered that same sentiment following the loss on Monday.

As the Phillies arrived at the stadium to get ready for the game, Bryce Harper caught some attention for what he was wearing.

He showed up in a "Coach Prime" shirt that is representing current Colorado Buffaloes head coach, and football legend, Deion Sanders.

Harper has been known to show up to the stadium wearing outfits that catch the attention of social media.

He's worn letterman jackets, Allen Iverson jerseys, Philadelphia Eagles jerseys and other popular items that have gone viral on the internet.

This could be the latest one that pops.

Sanders is in his first year as head coach of the Buffaloes after being the head coach of FCS program Jackson State for three years.

The football legend has become one of the biggest names in the sport, exceeding all expectations for what his Colorado team was predicted to do this season.

It seems like Sanders has the support of one of the game's biggest stars with Harper representing him on a t-shirt.

Philadelphia will be hoping that they can exceed expectations on Wednesday as they look to take a 2-1 lead in the NLDS series.
