Atlanta Braves (1972-75)

About

The Atlanta Braves uniforms from 1972 to 1975 are notably iconic in baseball history. This era saw the introduction of a radical design featuring two-tone pullover jerseys with a feather design blended into each sleeve. The uniforms featured a royal blue and red color scheme, marking a departure from the traditional navy blue. The team opted for a panel cap with a red lowercase "a" on a white front panel, set against a royal blue background. The jerseys were sans buttons, using pullovers, which were popular during that period. These uniforms are remembered for being worn by Hank Aaron when he broke Babe Ruth's home run record in 1974. Initially, the set had a thicker script and western-style numbers, but in 1974, the script was changed to a thinner version, similar to the one used today, and the numbers were switched to a block font. This uniform set is celebrated for its unique design and historical significance, making it a beloved throwback among Braves fans. The combination of bold colors and innovative design elements made this uniform stand out in baseball fashion during the early 1970s.
