Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Relief!!!! Have followed since Boston Braves days.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Thought this was interesting:
I'm guessing a name change will happen at some point in the near future. Probably not for a few years, but the Indians and Redskins are on that path, and then the Braves are going to be arguably the biggest target remaining, along with the Chiefs. I think the Braves and Chiefs will be able to hold out for a bit, because neither word is a racial slur and there's no horrifying Chief Wahoo iconography, but it's just a matter of time.

I would guess the Blackhawks are next on the target.
I think the Braves ditch native iconography. They ditch the tomahawk from it's symbology, simple Atlanta A and Simple Braves logos, like they had before the 87 season. Personally I wish they would go back to the late 70s or early 80s braves logos.
