I seem to recall only seeing the kelly green being worn lately. According to this, it was last worn September 25th, 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 We also found out the 2023 City Connect release dates. Assuming the rest of the remaining teams without a City Connect will be in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel less like a tribute to the culture of Atlanta and more like a tribute to the Braves themselves, which seems to miss the point of the City Connect program. Seeing as the primary inspiration for this set was apparently Hank Aaron, this would've been the perfect opportunity to incorporate some sort of hammer logo based on the tomahawk. I also find it kind of funny that the uniform that inspired this design was only worn by Aaron for three of his 21 seasons playing for Milwaukee/Atlanta. I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes amongst Braves fans, though. 25 minutes ago, Sport said: Rumor is that the Reds will be black jersey with black pants so, if true, that sucks.

Digby Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I think it’s a nice fauxback. Doesn’t need the “The”, of course, which is a silly concession to the eyeroll parts of the program. The sleeve graphic is the only thing that really lets this down. Feels like they just wanted to avoid the cultural fight of using the feather again, so they came up with this as a replacement, but it looks too off… like a really poor knockoff of the real thing. The Nikespeak can explain it however they’d like, but that’s how it reads to me. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look good aesthetically and obviously fit with the brand. Other than that though, this looks really good and is still recognizable as the Braves. I'm sure it'll sell like Waffle House on a Saturday evening in Atlanta. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Curious about the pant stripe on the Atlanta city connect. Are they red-blue-red or red-white-blue-white-red? Doing a 5 color pant stripe would be an interesting development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I've been conditioned to think of Atlanta as "The ATL" since that's what's on every other team's jersey there. But now it's just "The A"? The "the" is ridiculous, and clearly slapped on there so that it looked just a little different than a regular jersey (it'd be a fine-enough alt without that.) Regarding the Reds, I'm in favor of ridding them of black. I thought the Griffey-era set looked nice even with it, but now it's so completely intrusive - especially how it makes the NOB nearly illegible. They could actually keep their current set with the gimmicky font if they dropped the black. If they go for black top/pants for CC, then as long as the belt contrasts it might be alright. I have a feeling that if this is true, they'll force red pinstripes onto it (like the old Bulls alt) which may look great... or not. 3 "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."

maz Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The "codes" at the start are references to different things in Pirates history. The shot at the end is a pretty ubiquitous shot of Pittsburgh. So, really, I don't know what we can get from it, if anything. My prediction is the name on the front will say "The Burgh" and the uniform won't be going for a "Steel City" type theme (like this Pitt uniform, for example). Other than that... I have no clue. There are a lot of different ways they could go. Hopefully we get more clues over the next three months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC985 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Braves City Connect is fine, but flying so close to a uniform set that is still occasionally worn feels lazy. Special series uniforms sound fun in theory, but the NBA, NHL, and MLB have shown that they are underwhelming as a whole. The idea has gone stale incredibly fast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I dreaded the Braves release because I just KNEW it would get fumbled somehow. As it turns out, they played it extremely safe. I don't love it. I don't hate it. I did, however, breathe a sigh of relief. This middle-of-the-road entry won't be among the worst; honestly, that's the best I could hope for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
