1900

At the turn of the century the Boston Nationals were in thier 26th year as a league member

being one of the original franchises in the first year of national league play(1876).

The uniforms were the laced collar type,and either the name Boston or the old english B

on the fronts.The arrival of the Boston Americans on 1901 offered unwanted competition

with an eventual identity crisis with the uniform comparisons.Black and white

photographs from this perios made it hard to identify players as they all appeared as if they all

played on the same team.

1907

When John Dovey assumned control of the Nationals he restyled the uniforms and the newspapers

pinned a new nickname on the team as the DOVES.The home unis where all white

a maroon old english "B" and a yellow belt around the pants.The road unis were a

french flannel grey with a thin green stripes which became one of the first uses

of pinstripes.Buttons replaced the lacing on the jerseys.These uniforms recieved so much

comments around the league that the Boston Americans assumed the color red

in thier designs during the 1908 season because no other american league team

was so identified.

1908

John Dovey was determined to reclaim Red.Bright red caps with white pipping

,solid red stockings and even a red belt were featured in both home and away

uniforms.The photo similarities was not an issue for the time being but the 2 boston

teams were both now The "Red Stockings" for the next few seasons.The similarity climaxed

in 1910 when both teams used identical lettering on the shirts in the same color.

With the only difference was in the stockings.The american lg team were red and white socks

and the national team was all white socks.

1911

the 1911 season broke the look alike trend with another design by the national lg team.

The fold down style collar was replaced by the short cadet type.The old english "B"in navy blue

was restored on the sleeve.The road unis were a solid dark navy blue with the same style "B"

in white which were a "Negative" image of the home whites.

1912

President John Ward named the National league team as the "Braves" after turning

down several possible names(Heps and Rustlers) to name 2 that were turned down.

Once again they went back to the Red as the main color.The Americans abandoned

the name Boston on thier jerseys in favor of the Red Sox

1913

The Braves proved to be a popular choice as the new name and also a new patch

was designed as an indian head on the left sleeve on bothy home and away unis.

1929

The 1929 the Braves added a little indian head in the center of thier lettering on the front of

the jersey and then 1930 they kept the same trend but only adding a pilgrim hat

on the left sleeve to observe the Boston Tricentennial and also had a larger head

of an indian on the middle of thier backs.This stayed until 1935 when they started adding numbers

on the backs and put the head back onto the left sleeve.Babe Ruth was repeatedly

photographed in this uniform as this would be the last uniform he wore as a player.

1936

Out of desperation for failing attendance the Bravesonce again changed thier name,this time they would

be known as the Bee's.Once again they had a new look as a mix of blue and gold became the new colrs.

By 1939 they reverted back to red and navy.By 1945 the name Bess was wearing thin and so officially

went back as the Braves.

1946

Things were looking up for the Braves.A new manager in Billy Southworth

and solid pitching staff with spahn and sain.and a new radacal design

destined to becoma a classic a" tomahawk" under the name Braves.

The tomahawk design was here to stay for a while.

1953

With Boston being a 2 team town attendance was slowly beginning to dwindle

Lou Perini was able to persuade the major league to let them move to Milwaukee.

The attendance was staggering as they were drawing nearly 2 million fans a year.

The Braves won pennants in 1957 and 58 and just missed winning again in 1959.

In 1963 the braves did away with the tomahawk and became a sore spot on the fans,

as attendance started to fall again.

1966

Milwaukees honeymon with the Braves was now officially over as they packed up

and moved south to Atlanta.In 1972 the Braves entered the season with another new look

as they were now pullover jerseys with a softball look.Baseball history was made

in this uniform asthe great Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruths homerun record in 1974

.

1976

for Americas bicenntenial year the Braves color scheme was almost as close

to being draped as an american flag as u can get.According to owner Ted Turner

the Braves were now America's Team.
