Braves New 2012 Throwback Alt Leaked
The new throwback-inspired alternate jersey that the Atlanta Braves will be wearing for the upcoming 2012 season has been leaked by an online sports apparel store.
The website which first put up the image, OnTheField.com (click here to see the jersey on the site), is already offering the yet-to-be-unveiled alternate jersey for sale.
The jersey is cream/heritage white in colour, similar to the home jerseys of the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets, and appears to be inspired by the jersey the Braves wore in their first two seasons in Atlanta from 1966-1967.
Differences between this new home alternate and the current home game jersey include:
- the shade of white,
- the “Braves” script across the front is lacking the tomahawk,
- there is a number on the front,
- navy blue piping down the front of the jersey,
- a new sleeve patch which appears to be two crossed tomahawks on a blue circle with “Atlanta Braves 1876″ written inside
The Atlanta Braves were planning on unveiling this jersey later this month, it is not replacing any of the alternate jerseys from the 2011 season – this jersey is being added to the rotation from last season.
Special thanks to a Tweet from user @ATL3124 for the heads-up on this story.

Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 21:46As a Braves fan I prefer we keep the current home jersey, but this is alright for an alternate.

Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 21:54Not a fan. The thinner piping is nice along with thicker secondary color along logo, but don't like the numbers on the chest.

Monday, January 16, 2012 at 00:10Wow, this is a big improvement over the primary home jersey. It's a much cleaner design and distribution of the wordmark looks so much better without the awkwardly long line between the A and V. On the downside, "Atlanta Braves 1876" is disingenuous, as the team was not in Georgia for so long. Why not choose "Braves Baseball 1876" to properly celebrate the franchise history?

Monday, January 16, 2012 at 10:58Nice. Like to see exactly what's on the left sleeve. And old school sleeveless version (in off white) of this might be pretty cool too.

Monday, January 16, 2012 at 15:53Make these the home jerseys. I hate the tomahawk on the current jerseys. This alt jersey looks sharp.

Aaron
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 10:08@Chilly Mutt: I agree with the sleeveless concept on the off-white third jersey. They would look cool. But definitely use Braves baseball 1876 on their shoulder patch.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 09:51this is ok. Should not be primary. Cream colors just dont appeal to me. Don't like the twins or giants cream jerseys.

Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 11:43The tomahawks look eerily similar to another teamed named after an Native Indian. Does anyone else see this as well? http://www.wrigleyvillesports.com/core/media/media.nl?id=86654&c=679860&h=8db4578bafa130d1d033

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 10:58That's a nice jersey - classic look! But, put the screaming chief on the sleeve... forget "political correctness!"
Bill Malone
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 11:00...and keep the red Sunday jerseys... they're awesome!

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 01:47Like it. Looks like everyone's going with the cream jerseys... Mets, Phils, Indians, Giants and now the Braves!

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 14:26Love it! But I say add the screaming Indian... and I will buy one. Political correctness be damned.
Aaron
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 15:34I agree. Keep the red jerseys strictly for either Sundays or Fridays. As for the retro-inspired jersey, wear them on either Friday or Sunday. I wouldn't mind seeing the screaming Brave on that retro jersey either. That would be classic.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 17:10are you all out of your heads?!! this new hersey is HORRIBLE! Our current Home Unis look a thousand times better. our beast alternate unis are our navy jerseys. they would look great with our white pants too!
Aaron
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 22:32The white jerseys look great. Always have. As for the alternate blues, perhaps if you made the Braves word mark and tomahawk red, they'd look great. Right now, they look too much like a batting practice jersey. We also don't want to many jerseys for one team. For the retro alternates, they look classy.
