First things first – watch this video and tell me you don't get chills:
Yeah, I know. I'M PUMPED FOR OPENING DAY TOO. Right, so everything about this video is great..... Right up until the end.
First of all, this narrator has ridiculously enchanting oratory skills. Combine that with the visuals of the "Y'all gon' make me lose my mind, UPTON here UPTON here" bros looking splendid in their new uniforms, Braves fans Tomahawk Chopping their little hearts out, pitching studs Medlen and Kimbrell looking unhittable, and did I mention the narrator's absurdly listenable voice?!
This was so close to a perfection.... Until they blew it all up at the end with the new 2013 slogan "Always Brave". What the hell is that?
As a Braves fan, I'm having difficulty understanding why the 'S' has been slashed from the moniker and tossed into a cheesy new slogan. This is a team made up of a collection of high-caliber individuals, when melded together, form a formidable cohesive unit.
So who exactly is the lone "Brave" who is "Always Braves"? Is it Jason Heyward? Freddie Freeman? Wait, don't tell me it's Jordan Schafer, because we ALL know the only thing he does "Always" is smoke weed.
Because I do not approve of the new slogan – I'm going to offer a few of my own suggestions. After I make this comprehensive list, do not be surprised if I am summoned to the Braves corporate office and am offered a full-time brainstorming position with paid vacation and a shit-load of benefits. They are that good:

Wow, these are some baller new slogan names, huh? I'm expecting a call from Frank Wren any second now, begging me for a job opportunity in the Braves Think-Tank. Think you have some better ideas for slogan names than mine? I doubt it, but go ahead and leave a comment if something brilliant comes to you. I might look at it, but then again I probably won't.
