Braves/Padres Jackie Robinson Game
WOW! I feel like it's 1982. Braves are wearing their rare one year style baby blue pullovers with navy and white trim and the Padres are wearing their 1984 one year style (With the RAK Patch. Nice touch!) McDonalds Unis.
I had ZERO interest in Robinson day jerseys until I sat to watch this game. If anyone hears of these for sale or auction, my new #1 jersey to get for the Matt Diaz collection is this jersey.

Re: Braves/Padres Jackie Robinson Game
I was there.....definitely looked good with the 1984 jerseys. tons of 1984 Padres videos, and even the TV broadcast had a 1984 look. I liked it. Ill buy several of the Padres jerseys when the become available.

Scoot:
I have not yet seen pictures of the game; how did Majestic do in matching the jerseys and pants to the real deal from 1984? In the past, when the Padres have done throwback games, the gold front panels on the caps have been too large...Jay Shelton

Re: Braves/Padres Jackie Robinson Game
I watched that game and those powder blues brought back a lot of great memories. Loved seeing them. I wished they had brought out the TBTCs on a day other than JR Day though. It was a missed opportunity to include the NOBs (with the old vertical arching on nameplates of course). As much as I like the new road helmets, it would’ve been awesome had they brought back the 80s era blue ones. Seemed to me also that the V necks were too large. I loved that the Pads used the RAK initials. Wish the Braves would have added the 250th patch they used in ’83. Hopefully we’ll see a home version at some point this year.

Re: Braves/Padres Jackie Robinson Game
Thanks for the input, R.C., and the photos from another. Yes, the padres look to small, and the batting helmets were awful. I have a game-used TBTC batting helmet from two years ago that is much nicer, although the front gold panel is too big. Ah, the mid-1970s and 80s, when players knew how to wear their uniforms correctly and the pants showed plenty of stirrups. How I long for those days. Hopefully the 1978 TBTC uniforms for the rest of this year will be far more accurate, and I hope that they wear the pants with waistbands instead of inaccurate belts....

Re: Braves/Padres Jackie Robinson Game
Spoke with Lisa at the Braves. She doesn't believe that the team will be getting these. It was a Padres Throwback game and they supplied the unis. Does anyone have a connection for San Diego Padres game worns? I know a lot of the JR Days shirts wind up on MLB for auction but since it was a throwback game, the Pads may be selling them.
I also echo Skipcarey. While I like the road Navy shirts and the red home alts, I'd really like to see the Bravos have a Throwback Thursday deal, especially since they have such a rich history with really unique uniforms.
Of course I'm also in favor of a "WTF were we thinking?" A day to bring out the worst jersey each team ever wore. Heck the Pirates could do like 4 of those, right Lastings?
