WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Tonight Atlanta Braves players and coaches will take to the field wearing new alternate navy blue jerseys and all-navy caps. The new uniform style, which is being seen for the first time publicly, will be used for periodic road games in 2008.
The jersey - the first change to the Braves' road uniform since 1987 - is navy blue with a script "Atlanta" across the chest. The names on the back are white, while the uniform number is navy blue with white trim. The cap is reminiscent of that worn by the Braves in the 1960s and is navy with a simple white "A."
"We feel that we have one of the classic uniforms in all of baseball," Braves president John Schuerholz said. "Our new road jersey and navy cap are perfect representations of Braves baseball. They are emblematic of the traditional style of Braves uniforms over the years."
Braves players saw the jersey and cap for the first time tonight, after the team completed its pre-game batting practice. The special navy jerseys and caps will be available starting Monday, March 31, through the Braves Catalog, the Braves Clubhouse Store at CNN Center and at Turner Field.
