The Atlanta Braves today introduced a new alternative home uniform that reflects the look of the first Atlanta team of 1966.

The cream colored uniforms feature the traditional Braves script in red across the chest minus the tomahawk, red numbers on the front and back, navy piping, navy player letters and a new logo patch on the left sleeve.  The logo patch has two criss-crossing tomahawks, the year “1876” – the franchise’s first season - and the words “Atlanta Braves.”

“We think these uniforms reflect the timeless tradition of Braves baseball,” said Braves President John Schuerholz in a press conference held at the 755 Club at Turner Field.  “In honoring our past we retain a classic look yet move forward with an updated design.”

The alternates will be worn during Saturday and Sunday home games with the team’s traditional navy caps with red brims. The team will wear their red alternative jerseys for Friday night home games.

This marks the Club’s first home uniform change since the red jersey was introduced in 2005.  It is the first full uniform change since the current home white uniform was introduced in 1987.  There was no change to the road uniforms.
