We've been hearing about a new alternate jersey all winter. Well, the jersey leaked this evening, and it doesn't look too bad, as you see above, courtesy of SportsLogos.net (an amazing resouce). The most notable difference is the lack of a tomahawk on the front for the first time since the 1980's.
The jersey is very similar to the 1963 throwback sold on the Braves website, with a few key difference...most notably, the lack of the screaming brave on the arm (boooo), replaced instead by a pair of crossed tomahawks. The name and number on the back more closely resemble the current jerseys, with navy blue text for the player's name as opposed to the larger font red in the '63 throwbacks.
Anything to make a buck, right? As good as these jerseys look, they're really nothing but a cash grab for the team, and based on the reaction I'm seeing on Twitter, they'll sell bucketloads and make the introduction of this jersey totally worthwhile. First it was the Sunday reds, then the navy roadies....now, we have a third alternate jersey. Do the Braves really need any more?
