Ugly Uniform of the Day


I was watching SportsCenter last night, and they were showing highlights of the Mets-Braves game. There were some loud uniforms being worn, and I thought they were orange jerseys, like the Mets wear on occasion in spring training. I thought these were the most awful things. I looked closer, and the Mets were wearing gray. The game was in Atlanta, and the Braves were wearing red.

This red is louder than a fire truck. It does not fit the Braves. The Braves need to wear white at home, and gray on the road. Red is a minor, complementary color for them.

This franchise went through a phase in the 70's and 80's where they wore both powder and royal blue. They weren't very good then, except for one good year in '82. The Braves' dynasty of the 90's and 2000's coincided with their return to the Milwaukee Braves uniforms.

Apparently, these red jerseys are their Sunday uniform. The Sunday cap, with the "A" and the tomahawk isn't real great, either.

Braves: Go back to basics, quickly.
