The Atlanta Braves released the nicknames and jerseys the team will wear during Player’s Weekend Aug. 25-27 on Wednesday.
Twitter erupted with mixed feelings about the jerseys and nickname idea:
🔥— Jackson Fryburger (@JaxFryburger) August 9, 2017That big sexy jersey woulda been fresh. Bartolo
I think that @FreddieFreeman5 's jersey should say "FFF" for Freddie Freaking Freeman! That's what we call him in my house anyway. #FFF #MVP

😁— Jess (@jesssi_10) August 9, 2017I wish Ender's was Game Ender
So Braves fans are unhappy with the nicknames the players are using. We don't know these guys. We don't know what their friends call them.

These jerseys need to be a main alternate! Hate the nicknames idea though.
