The Atlanta Braves New City Connect Uniform
The Atlanta Braves are leaning into nostalgia with the unveiling of their newest City Connect uniform, a design that celebrates one of the most unique eras in baseball broadcasting, the time when Braves games were televised nationwide on Turner Broadcasting System.
The release video for the uniform paid tribute to the period when the Braves became “America’s Team” thanks to their games airing across the country on TBS. The timing of the reveal is fitting, coinciding with the franchise’s 60th anniversary in Atlanta and the launch of the club’s new direct-to-consumer broadcast platform, BravesVision, later this year.
Together, the uniform and the broadcast initiative signal a return to the team’s deep television roots while embracing the modern era of baseball distribution.
The centerpiece of the new uniform is a baby blue jersey, a color that immediately evokes classic Braves looks from the 1980s. Across the chest sits “Atlanta” in white script with a red outline, giving the jersey a clean and unmistakably retro feel. Blue and red piping runs along the sleeves and collar, a design element reminiscent of the uniforms worn during the era of franchise legend Dale Murphy.
While those classic uniforms leaned heavily on blue and white, the addition of red here brings the design more in line with the Braves’ modern color palette.
The jersey is paired with white pants featuring red and blue piping running down the sides of each leg, further reinforcing the vintage aesthetic.
On the back, the player numbers appear in white with a red outline, while the front number is a darker shade of blue, creating contrast against the baby blue jersey base. It’s a subtle but effective detail that helps the uniform maintain readability while adding visual depth.
Completing the look is a cap featuring a white lowercase “A”, a simple mark that keeps the focus squarely on the uniform’s retro storytelling.
One of the most interesting elements of the design appears on the sleeve. An “ATL” patch closely resembles the look and feel of the classic TBS logo, directly referencing the Braves’ long-standing relationship with the network that helped turn the club into a national brand.
For decades, Braves games aired nationwide through TBS broadcasts, introducing fans across the country to the team and its players. With the decline of regional sports networks and the rise of direct-to-consumer streaming, the launch of BravesVision represents a new chapter in that broadcasting legacy.
The uniform’s design intentionally taps into that pre-regional sports network nostalgia, honoring what many fans still refer to as the “Braves Station.”
The new design will replace the Braves’ previous City Connect uniform, introduced in 2023.
That look featured the “For the A” slogan and was inspired by the 1970s era when Hank Aaron made baseball history by hitting his 715th career home run, passing Babe Ruth on the all-time list during the Hank Aaron's 715th home run.
While that uniform honored one of the greatest moments in baseball history, the new City Connect shifts the focus toward Atlanta’s national television legacy and the franchise’s cultural reach.
