Updated: Braves Unveil New Alternate Uniform

And they’re nice looking too, hearkening back to the 1960s jersey top by trading out the white for a warm creamy color and even ditching the screaming Indian shoulder patch for a more tasteful crossed tomahawks option. However, this uniform now gives the Braves five different options including the home whites, road blues, (updated) road greys, alternate home reds, 1970s home white & blues, and these new cream colored jerseys.

To keep things from getting too complicated, the Braves have laid out a simple plan for when each jersey is to be worn:

Red jerseys for home Fridays.
Except on opening day, then it’s classic white.
Cream jerseys for home games on Saturday and Sundays.
White jerseys for all other home games.
Except for alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays when it’s “Ladies Pick” nights.
Cream jerseys to be worn on Wednesdays when the soup of the day is lobster bisque. (It hides stains better.)
Road greys to be worn at pitcher’s discretion.
Road blues to be worn for all road games when equipment manager just didn’t feel like doing another load of laundry, damn it.
1970s throwback uniform to be worn on Civil Rights Day and any day Hank Aaron shows up.
Red jerseys to be worn when the moon is full and werewolves are on the prowl for human flesh.

Special note: some of those bullet points are actual, verifiable facts.
