A Different Uni Every Night

Saturday the Braves break out the home Black Crackers throwbacks. The Nationals will wear the Homestead Greys, who were based in DC in the 1940's. Can't wait, though I'm sure Bryce Harper and others will wear the mostly white clown shoes. Saturday's throwbacks will be at least the ninth different uniform combination the Braves have worn this year – ten if you include the BP jerseys worn during Spring Training games. On July 4th they'll wear a different cap. Eleven uniforms - that has to be a record.

1. Home White
2. Friday Red
3. Weekend Cream
4. Road Grey
5. Road Navy
6. Day game BP caps vs. Twins
7. Road Crackers vs. Tigers
8. Memorial Day Camo Caps & Trim vs. Toronto
9. Home Crackers vs. Nationals
10. Spring Training BP Jerseys
11. July 4th alternate cap

Along with all the different uniform combinations, many players change things up from game to game. BJ, Heyward, Schafer, and even Hudson will wear their pants legs over their shoes one game, then pull them up to their knees the next day. I love it, but maybe they need to worry more about their hitting.

No Gattis among the game-used jerseys for sale. No Bobby Dews, either. They did have Hanson, Jurrjens, Reed Johnson, Pastornicky, Valvaro, Rasmus, Bat Boy, and others. Quite the selection: white, red, road navy, BP navy, grey, and cream. This weekend the Francisco jerseys will hit the clearance rack. I knew it was a mistake giving him Andruw's old number 25.
