PrintHere it is, the Atlanta Braves new uniform, being modeled by Chipper Jones, Brian McCann, and Dan Uggla.
Pretty cool new alternate uni. They will apparently wear this on the weekends, shifting the red uni to Fridays.
And of course, Jason Heyward:

Awesome
Now let’s figure out how long before we can order them with player name/numbers on them. Braves Shop only has blanks right now.
Great shot of J Hey
Imagine if he lost the batting gloves and it was a black and white photo, I could believe it was a historic Braves photo.
Here ya go Crispy..

That is awesome!
That does deserve to be a poster shot. If a few years when he has wracked up a couple Gold Gloves, Silver Slugger’s and possibly even an MVP that will be the thing for kids to have up on their walls, like Jordan in the 80’s and 90’s.
Yeah the only thing i couldnt do...
was remove the batting gloves.. but it looks super awesome even with them.. Thanks for the idea.

45.
With .550 OBP and .900 SLG. Oh, and 75 steals.

AWESOME JERSEY'S
I am very impressed with the Braves going back to their grass roots by using the 1966 jerseys and using a modern home jersey. A brand new jersey brings in great smiles by fans and players.
I'm eh on them
The stroke around the Braves script and the stroke around the numbers are inconsistent. It looks odd to me.
But I’d get a blank one so it would have no flawed numbers.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I think the text and number look too shiny. Like they’ve been ironed on.
I wrote a novel, it's about baseball, you should buy it:

I liked them
But noticed the same thing. They looked ironed on. Not a fan of the shininess.
"He knows where he's throwing. If he didn't, there'd be dead bodies strewn all over Idaho." - Washington Senators scout on Walter Johnson
This is why I love baseball...
Every detail matters to someone.
While I understand the shiny factor referenced by cbwilk and Doghnut below, I have zero idea what you’re talking about regarding the “stroke.” However, I’m assuming “stroke” is common garment lingo, and I am going to assume it means the shape and style of the lettering/numbering.
While not perfect, I like the unis a lot.
GATA!
Stroke is designer jargon
It’s what I do for a living. In short, it’s referencing the thickness of the blue around the Braves emblem compared to the thickness of the blue around the numbers. It’s inconsistent, and to my artist’s eye, consistency is aesthetically pleasing.
I’m certain that the red in BRAVES is the same red in the numbers, but the inconsistent stroke of both make them look like different shades.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Good point
is this the finalized version, including the shiny iron on look of the numbers? Could these be the demo model, and the real things will have stitched numbers?

Who really knows
When the Marlins debuted their new unis, I was out in Arizona for the AFL, and they wasted no time in having their Marlins prospects wearing the new unis for in-game play the next day.
Hopefully the Braves will rectify the glossy look, and the stroke, but I wouldn’t bet on it. These are probably ready to go out and play now if they had to.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
It see it now...
It’s like one of those “Magic Eye” pictures.
Now, it does look off. You’ve ruined it you ruiner! :-)
GATA!
I think they did not want to make the uni and the logo look the same
almost like not compromising the logo to match the uniform or versa. like the old days, just iron something on, if it matches, it matches….
The Heyward shot looks pretty sweet
the photos from the actual unveiling is more meh.
Having the number up front makes me feel more obligated to get one with a number than just a blank one (which is what I currently have for the home white and a road blue replica)…whenever I come across some extra money in the next couple of years.

I do like the logo for the patch and like the pairing with the traditional home cap rather than the alternate one with the red uniform.

The red jerseys to night games
is definitely a good move.I think I like the new one OK.I like the 1950s style characteristics.Good just for weekends.Wouldn’t want to go totally to the throwback look.
On a related note, since I just recently start following soccer
I am surprised how soccer teams changes their uniform every year. Sure, they are also the ones who blatantly puts the name of some corporation front and center but it’s just weird to me at least that soccer teams put out a 2 to 3 new uniforms (with usually just subtle changes…unless you’re a big seller like FC Barcelona) every years.

Generally soccer clubs have identity with a certain color or color scheme (Chelsea are the “blues”, AC Milan are the “rosaneri”, etc.). They have home kits and road kits, and probably put our an alternate jersy design every now and then. The frequency with which they do it resembles the NBA I think.
"If you're looking around...then we're looking around" - Coach Paul Johnson
Yeah, soccer has a primary kit and couple secondary kits. The home teams get to pick which kits to wear and the visiting team can apparently wear their primary kits if the colors are different enough.
I was surprised that the main soccer clubs just regularly put out a new set of kits every single year. It’s fairly obvious for FC Barcelona since they use different number of alternating blue and red stripes (and it’s not clear to me that there is some order to how many stripes there are, such as equating that to the number of trophies won in the previous season) while for others the change is a lot more subtle (location of a trim or something). US sports (including the NBA) doesn’t change their main uniforms that frequently, although US sports love to do special throwbacks and stuff like that.

Nostalgic looking, but I confess to missing the Tomahawk on the front.
~ "Life is hard, God is good and heaven is real."
Same sentiments concerning the tomahawk
Found this interesting tidbit on a Braves history site. This current alternate jersey looks like the Milwaukee “63” version. Hope this isn’t some kind of “Tomahawk Removal Omen.”
The team found some success with its tomahawk jerseys in the early Milwaukee years. However, by 1963, the tomahawk was removed and not long after, the team moved to Atlanta.

Mr. Heyward...
wears that uni well. Very well.

I never really liked the red.

Agreed
and I generally have a much greater fondness for that color than you.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
the red has always been my least favorite.
I’ve never been a red guy though.
I’d probably go Home, Home Alt Creme, Road Blue (sorry I like them), 70s Home Alt, Road, Home Alt Red as my preference in terms of what we might see them wearing next year. I just say might because what they’ll wear for the civil rights game I’m not sure is set yet.
Thats what i noticed as well
It looks like a throwback jersey… love it

OK great, now just sell $20MM worth of these new uni's every year...
…so we can acquire some eFn free agents!
I read that you can
buy the authentic and replica jerseys at the Braves Clubhouse Store at the CNN Center and at some Academy Sports + Outdoors stores today through Friday. I imagine as the season continues there will be made more available.

Love the new unis
….of course, I like the red ones too, but they look better at night. Hopefully they don’t do away with the blue road alternates though.

Does anyone remember last year, I believe during the Civil Rights series, where I suggested that they switch the red alts to Friday or Saturday nights and wear throwbacks on Sundays? I will find it…
