Wow, that logo on the right is so sweeeeeeet. I mean, look at that thing. Who wouldn't want to be rocking that on the baseball field, in the grocery store, or while visiting your local Indian reservation? The good news is that the Braves front office knows a damn good logo when they see one.
Right, so onto the much expected bad news. The bad news is that these hats are no longer going to be worn by any members of the Atlanta Braves. Yeah, yeah, yeah – I know, it's a bummer because these things are cool as hell.
Basically, this thing became a big deal. A bigger deal than probably you or I could possibly see coming. All the local news stations started reporting about how "racist" our new hats were. Apparently, the "Braves" who our logo pays homage too were none too thrilled by the Braves choice in logo. I don't see how, because these hats scream "We love Indians!" Right? At least that's how it looks to me.....
While it is no doubt a travesty that our hometown team won't be sporting these beauties while soaking up rays during Spring Training, there is some good news. What?! More good news you ask? Oh yes. The good news is that these hats, despite their racial symbolism, and penchant for riling up national news stations are available for purchase:
That's right, baby! We still can wear these things on baseball fields, in the grocery store, and while we visit our local Indian reservations. It will cost you a cool $29.99, without tax and shipping and handling, but this logo is worth every penny.
