It was announced last week that the Atlanta Braves would drop the red jerseys from the uniform inventory in 2014.  The feedback on the message boards and on twitter was that the fans really didn’t like these home alternative jerseys.

Personally, I love the traditional white jerseys and I’m glad they don’t mess with that one but the red uniform didn’t really bother me that much.  I actually enjoyed switching it up a little to have the “alternative” style.

But…it’s not up to me.

The Braves will move forward in 2014 with their traditional white uniforms for weekday home games and their cream-colored uniforms for weekend home games.

For away games, it sounds like the Braves will stay with the grey uniforms and the blue style jerseys.

The Braves will wear a special red military-appreciation jersey for the home games listed below.

• April 26 vs. Cincinnati Reds – Military Family Night
• June 13 Los Angeles Angels – United States Army Anniversary
• July 26 San Diego Padres – United States Marines Celebration
• August 30 Miami Marlins – United States Navy Celebration
• September 19 New York Mets – United States Air Force Anniversary
