TheOldRoman Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Sodboy- I'd have to see up close, but it looked like Ohman was actually wearing faux-stirrups with the red knitted into the socks. Still pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm in full agreement that the Braves are slowly ruining their great identity. They're one of the teams that having an alternate jersey takes away from their look. I could even tolerate if they kept the red jersey but wore it sparingly. Not seeing the classic home uniforms at all on the weekends is just a horrible decision. I think the all blue set looks really good, but for a team like the Braves it should be used as a BP uniform. The cream alternates look very good as well, but there is no point in having them if you already have a white uniform that looks better. The Sox red alts/throwbacks look really good. I think their current uniform set is one of the best in the league, but I'm fine with them wearing red on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 New Braves alts debuted tonight. I think they look pretty good!I think those would be much better if they used the road caps. That would be the only uniform the road cap would look good with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's not that they look bad so much as they just look redundant. So it's the regular uniform, without the triple-piping and tomahawk that make it an intrinsically impressive uniform and establish continuity with one of the greatest periods of sustained dominance the sport has ever seen. So then really, what's the point? It'd be like if the Cardinals had a cream-colored uniform that didn't have the birds on the bat. It wouldn't look horrible, because the Cardinals script by itself is still pretty good, but why bother? Why dilute the almighty Brand?Where this design could come in handy might be for the various levels of minor league Braves, where you're almost a full-fledged Brave until you make it to the show and get to wear the tomahawk. For the actual team, it's pointless. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCheese Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 love the Brooklyn Dodger hats. They used Brooklyn helmets tooVery cool. It'd be even more cool if that was actually a Brooklyn Dodger logo.</obnoxious_personal_crusade>the Dodgers updated their title banners this year, and use the regular Brooklyn logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpqmaowl Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Nominatin'. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the actual team, it's pointless.Well the new alts are basically the uniforms they wore their last couple of seasons in Milwaukee and their first couple of seasons in Atlanta. I think these are okay if you use them sparingly - as in no more than one game per weekend during home stands (and frankly in place of those red alts they've had for a couple of years).These would have also made more sense if this was a major anniversary year for the Braves - they should have held these for their 50th season in Atlanta or something like that.

I agree that the blue could be changed, like the addition of front and sleeve piping to match the other jerseys, and prob have red letters and numbers, but they arent that bad... honestly its one of my favorites, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no...oh yeah that definitely would make more sense. I've never liked it when numbers and letters are the same color as the uniform, with only a small outline.
