MidnightSun Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 hate the braves blue alts and the all blue hats, but they look ok together i guess. i'd like to see them drop both completely.the red jersey looks good IMO and the red brim hat is the only one they need.

rmackman Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 In my perfect aesthetic world, well, the Braves would have no alternates. The Braves are one of those teams that looks better with just a white and a gray set (and I say that as a fan of alternates in general.) But I understand the need to ring the register, so I humbly suggest:- Vertically arched names return to jerseys.- Solid navy cap discontinued.- White/red/white braiding added to navy road alternate,- Numbers on navy road alternate changed to red-on-white.- Red home alternate and accompanying cap discontinued.- 1974 uniform converted to button-down for use as Sunday home alternate.I couldn't agree more. This would work perfectly. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwalk Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Or, you could make the roads more like the late 60s roads and add more blue to them. (I fully understand that my advocacy for this rests in my love of the all blue. It's actually the only Braves 5950 I own). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I actually own a blue alternate replica. As it is, the Braves wear grey quite a bit on the road and as for that dreaded blue alt, all it needs is a red outline on white lettering/numbers and a red tomahawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I personally love the Braves grey away jersey. The Atlanta script and tomahawk look outstanding on the grey background, in my opinion. I hate the all-blue cap, too. Then again, I generally don't like alternates in baseball, period. Most of the time, alternate jerseys in baseball either look minor league, or like a tuesday evening game at the local softball complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 They generally are minor-league or amateur. There are, at most, eight colored alternates that belong in the major leagues, and two would be Oakland's. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTnSocal Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I didn't mind seeing the Giants in orange. I thought they looked sharp.Not sure if they wore these this year, this was from last season. Liked 'em alot better with the older script-logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked 'em alot better with the older script-logo.Giants' orange jersey is perfect as is. That script would not not look very good. Their current wordmarks are classic and better suited for the Giants. Plus the combination of the orange jersey with the all black cap and cream pants is just a thing of beauty. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 You forgot the Reds alt jersey. Going back to the previous set its been pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Cubs blueIf they ever figure out a design that looks good, yes.Colored shirts subtract, not add, to anyone else.You forgot the Mariners' teal.And using that measure, let me add in one here: Tampa Bay's light blue. Wearing that adds some character to their bland clunker of an identity, especially if the team's going high-cuffed and wearing the stirrups Maddon brought in.

pscampbe Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Love the Braves blue alts myself. The Sunday home red alt is not my favorite, but I don't hate it either. I can take it or leave it. But since I've kept up with the Braves uni-record the last three years, here's their 2011 uni-record through 7/28:Overall..............61-44Home.................32-20Road.................29-24Home White...........26-17Sunday Home Red.......4-3Road Gray............12-13Road Blue............17-10Boston Throwbacks.....0-1Crackers Throwbacks...1-0'74 Throwbacks........1-0So the Braves have worn the grays in 25 games (26 if you count the Boston throwbacks they wore in LA), the blues in 27. In a few cases, they've had to wear the grays because the home team wore blue or black (in Milwaukee and Colorado for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozak4(2)Ever Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Same. I've never been a fan of it. It simply doesn't look like the Braves...it looks like the Rays. Needs red.I wish the red uniform was a home/road alternate, and then we wore Hank Aaron throwbacks for Sunday home games.Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Cubs blueIf they ever figure out a design that looks good, yes.1982-1989, more or less. Just remove the weird mutant blue bear and use a button-down shirt.M's teal feels like they're making a conscious effort to live in the '90s, which I suppose is a good idea when you're what the M's are now. Too dated for me. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
