Bmac Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The red switched to maroon officially in 1975. However, the pinstripes remained red. It's possible the caps, undershirts, and other equipment didn't get changed right away, but it's hard to tell. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Darren daulton had red catchers gear in 86. Def at home, not sure about road because he didn’t play much "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I mean, it is in the description. Then again, didn’t see all teams, or more than one on-field style per. I purchased a Dodgers one to wear on my trip to Las Vegas next month. I think it’ll feel VERY nice having that breeze hit my head. AND it looks great with any of the Dodgers standard jerseys (although I NEVER wear my white one outside of the LA area).

I believe there was a point (1989/90?) when he had a red chest protector and red leg guards, but a maroon helmet. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bolton Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Take this of course with a grain of salt but I saw on Twitter the other day from someone "supposedly" in the know that the Braves are in the process of phasing out their road greys. I guess that means they'll be wearing the navy blue tops more often, but I can't imagine any MLB team completely eliminating standard primary road grey unis. Unless maybe they're coming out with new ones in the next year or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1984 NLCS was contested by two teams that had no grey jerseys but only coloured road jerseys. And they both wore white pants on the road!

aawagner011 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 They’re wearing the road grays as I type this, so consider me extremely doubtful. They still know to respect tradition. In fact, I saw from one of the beat writers the other day saying that they’ve designated their cream throwbacks for Sundays only instead of wearing them the full weekend. Doesn’t sounds like a club about to nix gray completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Here is a Reddit thread with people discussing the gray road set from two days ago. Two separate people are claiming to have been told the grays are going away. I just browsed MLB Shop and the gray inventory is definitely less readily available than the other sets. I have a hard time believing it, but take it for what it’s worth. I will be pissed if this is the case. The gray is highly underrated and a classic. Especially with the traditional cap. I don’t mind the all blue cap but would prefer it every now and then. The red brim should be worn most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I hate the Braves navy uniforms. I really do. There’s no life in them. It’s navy from sleeve to sleeve. The words are navy. The tomahawk is navy. The cap is navy. Everything is navy and it’s just really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Lankford Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It's not exactly unprecedented for the Braves: Just off the top of my head, I could say that the Astros, A's, Rays, Brewers, Padres and Giants would be better off also dropping their current primary road jerseys and just wearing their superior alts instead.

SilverBullet1929 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I don't know if they can completely drop their road grays from existence. Choosing not to wear it is an option but I doubt it will cease to exist. The Marlins didn't wear their road grays once in a regular season game in 2013 or 2014 but they did still exist as Stanton and Henderson Alvarez had to wear them at the 2014 All Star Game since teams are supposed to wear their primary home or road unis. Isn't this year's ASG a road game for the NL? Let's see what the Braves player(s) wear that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not for that act, we might not be saddled with the scourge of coloured tops today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
