CrazyAnna Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So I take it it's supposed to be a nod to this?I don't think it's that bad. I'd like to see this paired with the throwback striped stirrups.I don't see anything wrong with this uniform. It's classy. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalBeast Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 According to Dave O'Brien, the Braves writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the official announcement will probably come next week.My linkAnd they are not replacing the Sunday red jerseys. It will be an alternate that the players decide when to wear.My linkMy linkThey will also be worn with cream colored pants.My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 San Francisco GiantsThe Giants wear cream at home, which is brighter and less obtrusive than vintage white.The Giants wear the same shade of Cream/Off-White as all of the other MLB teams who use/have used this color:This list includes the former Arizona Diamondbacks (1998-2006), the Chicago White Sox throwback unis from 2006, the current Cleveland Indians (2008-present), the current Minnesota Twins throwbacks (2010-present), the current New York Mets alt/home unis (2010-present), Philadelphia Phillies throwbacks (2008-present), and the aforementioned San Francisco Giants home unis (2000-present).All the same color.Are the Braves going to use that color? Because from the picture, their jersey looks more like the gross, darker vintage white color that the NHL is obsessed with.

Lights Out Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Fair enough. I guess we can chalk it up to bad lighting or Photoshopping, then. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yep, that Braves jersey is hideous (though I like the sleeve patch), but it's still better than the red one (which is better than the road blue one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's a nice jersey, but I would be much happier if 1) The number font was the same as those on the Hank Aaron-era jerseys, and 2) The red jerseys were done away with altogether. IMO the red alts aren't bad, but these are definitely better.As an aside regarding cream unis overall, the Twins need to make their throwback alt the primary home. The current home uni does not go well with Target Field, to me it just screams 'Metrodome.' There is currently not a single cream uni in baseball I don't like, but I think the Twins and Indians need to get rid of their home whites in favor of the creams. The Mets need to ditch their whites too. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The Sunday red uniform and home white are my favorites.I like the look of the new uniform too, but I'm not sure how I feel about having three home uniforms and the batman uniforms.I might be in the minority, but if anything I would have liked to see the Braves drop the batman uniforms and all-blue caps. It hasn't looked right to me since they made the switch, and a navy blue alternate shirt with red numbers would be a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 As a Braves fan, any throwback that isn't the Aaron-era jerseys is a failure. Especially considering the popularity of the merchandise after the Civil Rights Game last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I can get on-board with this alternate. Would love to see this jersey get used for day games, kinda like what the Phillies do.The red and navy alternates can go find the nearest dumpster. Great batting pactice jerseys, but look lousy when worn for games.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've always loved the red alt, especially since it's strictly confined to Sunday. The blue alt can burn in a dumpster fire, as far as I'm concerned.I think the best strategy for a throwback is to have a home and road version and wear them for a long period during the season, like 3 weeks in June. Invite opponents to participate. When you do that, the fans can get into it and would be more likely to buy not only the jersey, but also throwback hats, t's, even jackets. The Braves did that in 99 or 2000, wearing the Aaron-era unis, home and away for 2-3 weeks and it worked very well. Doing that, and leaving the throwbacks in that period only, would allow a team to reap the benefits of having that 5th jersey without it being overkill to an extent.

Bouj Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Are the Braves also changing the away jersey? They are no longer available online.Don't read too much into that. During the offseason, a lot of teams' jerseys will not be available due to supply. Majestic isn't producing like they would during the MLB season. In about 90% of these instances, it is that the supply ran out and they'll have more in Mar-Apr-May. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

BlazerBlaze Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not a fan of these at all. I HATE the old white color and the missing tomahawk. The sleeve patch is alright, the only good thing to come out of this. Should of gone with the sleeve feathers in the new colors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
