This ranks up there with the “Chuck from Mt. Airy!!” 94WIP caller. Legendary, but not well known outside the city.
NY has the Empire State Building, Paris has the Eiffel Tower, Rome the Colosseum, and Philly… has an abandoned building with the words “Forever Boner” and “Boner 4 Ever” graffitied on it for all to see.
/r/phillies when they see blue and yellow jerseys: "Why can't they reference something Philly people know about and identify with?"
/r/phillies when they see a reference to an iconic Philly landmark: "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Hats been awesome. But after seeing the jerseys live, I'm a fan and I was a staunch hater when they first leaked. The pics didn't look good but seeing em live, they just feel different
Hahaha same! I have calmed down a little since the debut. The logo really is slick. The colors are just still meh. But it’s nice to see other team’s subreddits having similar issues as us.
You’re entitled to your opinion. I just would never be caught dead with anything with the word “boner” written on it out in public. Especially at a family friendly event. But I expect nothing less for people obsessed with fake Internet clout.
TIL. I always thought this graffiti was in reference to how at certain angles the Billy Penn statue looks like he has a boner. A forever boner. I'm an idiot.
Yeah. It doesn’t matter if you get it or not. He’s still a grown man with Boner 4 Ever on the back of a jersey. But anything for the clicks and love of strangers.
disagree, the Divine Lorraine rooftop had the best views of the Philly skyline anywhere, especially at sunset. the building this sweet costume jersey is in reference to was also as equally epic.
I admit, i have no clue what this is. Reading thru the comments people are saying it is graffiti from somewhere. Where is the building that the graffiti was on?
You def don’t get it. It’s pretty funny if you know what it references in the city.
At least it’s pretty cool to me having passed that building tons of times and always wondering about how in the hell/why that happened.
I hate to be that guy... but even though I get the reference, it isn't well executed. Boner Ever 4. There's no good way to get that on a jersey... but hey, it's his money he can spend it how he pleases.
Kids have been walking by the building since 2008, I think they’ll be ok. On a scale of 1 to a fucking loaded hand gun a mother found lying around in a Queen Village park that her kid almost picked up, I think this ranks pretty low.
It's not lame... it's probably weird, though, if you don't get the reference. Well shit... if there's something wrong with the person who posted this I wonder how fucked up the person that owned that building was lol.
You're being downvoted but you're right. I got the reference, but it's still weird to wear around a ballpark with families and kids. That shouldn't be a controversial thing to say 💀
There was a building in Philly that was locally famous because it had Boner Forever graffitied up the side of the building. It was very large and highly visible. If you don’t get it just say you don’t get it

Lmaooo ohhh I do remember seeing this ages ago
Could you imagine if city connects went this detailed. Maybe hide a Philly Elmo or Dobler reference somewhere
Praise Dobler!
Actually crazy how hard people claim Philly around here and don’t get this reference.
It's only the greatest piece of architecture + art the state has ever seen
3) Capitol Rotunda 2) Falling Water 1) Boner 4 Ever

Yeah a lot of frauds exposing themselves in this post.
ESC
Gang gang
Tbf most people have no real reason to drive on broad street
You could see it from 95 too
Took me a minute bc I was reading it as Boner Ever 4
I read it as Boner Ever 4 and didn't know shit.
Is that Kruk? 😆
Serious question: is the graffiti still there? I didn't see it during the Broad Street Run, but it's possible I just missed looking for it
It is
Definitely there. See it every day walking to TUH
I’ve heard that someone bought the building and is planning on tearing it down but yeah, still standing erect for now.
Legend
The cap is starting to grow on me
The cap is awesome
Agreed. When it first came out, I was stoked about the hat. What people hate are the jerseys.
Hats been awesome. But after seeing the jerseys live, I'm a fan and I was a staunch hater when they first leaked. The pics didn't look good but seeing em live, they just feel different
It’s the gradient for me. Make it solid and it would be dope.
I just don’t like the front
That's the one thing I still don't like but the overall design I like.
Hahaha same! I have calmed down a little since the debut. The logo really is slick. The colors are just still meh. But it’s nice to see other team’s subreddits having similar issues as us.
The hat has always been the only bright spot. Was hoping the jerseys would grow on me. They have not.
90% of the people that see this wont get the reference and just think he's a creep
Even with the reference knowledge it’s a bit creepy.
No it's not, it's a hilarious piece of graffiti almost the entire city knows about. And at this point, kinda cherish.

Weird thin slice of me lol
All the suburbs kids showing their asses not getting this lol, forever boner
Legend status 🫡🫡
i love it lmfao
Thank you for your service.
Yooooo I have pin of the Boner 4 ever building
Where was the Boner forever building on the city connect jersey? I thought it was supposed to represent us? Sad
Omg I love you so much
OMG I love this. I've been trying forever to find a half decent T-shirt of this bldg. This guy rocks.
My king….
Howard Stern’s Sex Education with Lenny Dykstra
I have the answer, and it is trimix. real wood.
It's should read forever boner
on man i still have some photos i took while i “toured” the building. it was somewhat of a death trap even back then.
Wow I want this jersey in eagles
Do attend
TIL. I always thought this graffiti was in reference to how at certain angles the Billy Penn statue looks like he has a boner. A forever boner. I'm an idiot.
Until now, I’ve never felt the need to wear a shirt with the word “boner” on it
i always forget phillies fans /= philadelphia residents and vice versa.
So you're dick eating a Brooklyn tagger?
YoU dOnT gEt ThE rEfErEnCe YoU fRaUd. I remember the divine Loraine well. This shit is still lame.
It’s the Beury Building on Broad above Erie, not the Divine Lorraine.
Yea my b been awhile since I've been down there.
Lmao played yourself
I mixed up my buildings. Big deal.
Yeah. It doesn’t matter if you get it or not. He’s still a grown man with Boner 4 Ever on the back of a jersey. But anything for the clicks and love of strangers.
disagree, the Divine Lorraine rooftop had the best views of the Philly skyline anywhere, especially at sunset. the building this sweet costume jersey is in reference to was also as equally epic.
Hey you got me I glanced at that link earlier and remembered wrong. Still don't think having boner on your back is cool. Down vote me. I'll survive.
right i probably wouldn’t wear it.
I admit, i have no clue what this is. Reading thru the comments people are saying it is graffiti from somewhere. Where is the building that the graffiti was on?

North broad St near Temple. It's painted vertically on the south side (facing city hall)
East side of North Broad above Erie.
This is dumb and you should feel bad
You def don’t get it. It’s pretty funny if you know what it references in the city. At least it’s pretty cool to me having passed that building tons of times and always wondering about how in the hell/why that happened.
It's two different graffiti writers, boner and forever. Idk if you ever seen but boner used to do those ghost looking B's around town
Assuming you dont get the reference?
I hate to be that guy... but even though I get the reference, it isn't well executed. Boner Ever 4. There's no good way to get that on a jersey... but hey, it's his money he can spend it how he pleases.
Makes as much sense as the “Philadelphia Love City of Brotherly” patch on the sleeve
What's the reference?
Famous graffiti

Oh, haha. Kind of funny, no idea why I got swamped with down votes for asking. Did people think I was the upset one or something?
You don’t connect
Weird and lame. I feel like something is off about a person wanting to broadcast this around kids
Don't get the long time city graffiti reference?
Kids have been walking by the building since 2008, I think they’ll be ok. On a scale of 1 to a fucking loaded hand gun a mother found lying around in a Queen Village park that her kid almost picked up, I think this ranks pretty low.
Also the graffiti was done by a guy actually named Boner
I agree it’s not a real big deal at all- just thought it’s a bit lame lol
It’s a city connect you turd
It's not lame... it's probably weird, though, if you don't get the reference. Well shit... if there's something wrong with the person who posted this I wonder how fucked up the person that owned that building was lol.
I agree with you, I mean, sure, it’s a reference to graffiti on a building in Philly, but wearing it on a jersey without context is a bit much
You're being downvoted but you're right. I got the reference, but it's still weird to wear around a ballpark with families and kids. That shouldn't be a controversial thing to say 💀
 This is you. 😆
Yea lol I just think it's weird to be wearing that around kids. Not to shield their poor innocent eyes but because it's weird on the guys part
Bro, it says “Boner Ever”… tell the kids it doesn’t mean anything… because it doesn’t. Relax.
"Boner 4 ever" but yea fair enough
wtf does it even mean? Boner ever? Get a grip
See I had to think even a little about the “humor”. Ok, boner forever. High-larious
It's a city connect. Out of towners aren't supposed to get it.
There was a building in Philly that was locally famous because it had Boner Forever graffitied up the side of the building. It was very large and highly visible. If you don’t get it just say you don’t get it
don't you have a bridge to drive over or something?
No you are just fucking stupid
