Washington, D.C. — The Braves' rumored blue jerseys became a reality Sunday when they broke out the new alternate road jerseys and caps without prior notice.

The navy design represents the first change in the Braves' road uniform since 1987. The Braves said they would wear them in periodic road games during the season. The alternate red jersey remains the gear for Sunday home games.

The new jersey is solid navy with "Atlanta" in script above the familiar tomahawk. The player's name is in solid white on back, above his white-trimmed navy number. The cap is solid blue with only a white "A", similar to caps worn by the Braves in the 1960s.

"We feel that we have one of the classic uniforms in all of baseball," Braves president John Schuerholz said in a prepared statement. "Our new road jersey and navy cap are perfect representations of Braves baseball. They are emblematic of the traditional style of Braves uniforms over the years."

The jerseys and caps will be available starting Monday through the Braves' catalog, Braves Clubhouse Store at CNN Center and at Turner Field.
