Newmaniac Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Surfing, I found a photo of Ryan Klesko wearing what looks to be a Braves throwback uni. However, I can't find the season(s) that the Braves actually wore this. Anyone got an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 They never wore those -- a quick guess would be a negro league uniform --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Looks like an Atlanta Black Crackers uni from the Negro Leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yup, you have to look at the hat to figure it out. But it's an ABC uniform from the late 30's-World War II years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyWrench32 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 That looks like the Jackie Robinson patch on the sleeve, so it's probably from 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Clues tell you this:Klesko hasnt been with the Braves in a while.. that is obviously Tuner field, by the drop behind him, and the white color of the uni. You can see behind him, the side of Fulton County stadium. AFC was imploded August 2, 1997. So, this was the 1997 season, before August. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

GeorgesL Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Anyone remember the Braves red-pinstripe uniforms of the late 70s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenchy Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Anyone remember the Braves red-pinstripe uniforms of the late 70s? You bet. I remember Ted Turner's having player nicknames put on the backs of the jerseys, like so:He tried to convince MLB that Andy Messersmith's nickname was "Channel" so that Messersmith's jersey could read "CHANNEL 17," same as WTBS' spot on the dial at that time (pre-Superstation).
