After being founded in 1883 as the "Quakers", the team changed its name to the "Philadelphias", after the convention of the times. This was soon shortened to "Phillies". The name "Quakers" continued to be used interchangeably with "Phillies" until 1890, when the team officially became known as the "Phillies".
