    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Don't like 'em, myself. Not signing that petition. I just hope we don't have a team like we did during most of that era (1982 notwithstanding).

    The 1970s and the 1980s featured some of the worst baseball uniforms ever (think Padres and Expos). I never had an aversion to the powder blues, but I much prefer what we've got now.

    Yeah, but they were bad in a fairly awesome way.

    May as well wear uniforms from the 1980s since the Hart tenure will be as bad as the Braves in the 1980s.

    I grew up in the '80s watching those awful Braves teams wearing the powder blues. I would love to see them return, at least as an alternate uniform or on TBTC day.

    I like the old baggy throw backs from way before the powder blues.

    Powder blues are fine for road uniforms. Bring back the red pinstripes of the late 70s for home games.

    Really hated the Powder Blues. I was very happy when they changed to the current (old) colors.

    How about the White Sox?

    The Chisox also had a black version of those jerseys. I saw a game with the Sox wearing them way back when. i can only imagine how steamy it got on a hot day in those black unis.

    I would prefer the all powder blues to the navy road top w/ gray pants, but not to the all gray.

    FWIW The home setup is fine (White tomahawk weekdays, 1966 ivories weekends, star spangled braves red alt) IMO.
