New Trivia (Braves)

Okay, it's been way to long since I've updated any trivia questions. So, here's a pair, Braves related.

One: The Braves have not always been known as the Braves. Back when they were in Boston, they were called six different names before settling on the Braves. (Actually, they were called the Braves for a time, changed the name, then went back to the Braves). Below are 12 different possibilities for the franchise. Pick out the correct 6.

a. Colonials
b. Bees
c. Doves
d. Baymen
e. Pelicans
f. Rustlers
g. Red Caps
h. Beaneaters
i. Bankers
j. Breakers
k. Red Stockings
l. Blue Sox



Two: The Braves have had a number of interesting uniforms since their conception. Below are descriptions of four different uniform worn by players or the team as a whole. One is false. Pick out the uniform description that never happened.

a. In 2002, the Braves donned desert camoflauge uniforms for two Sunday home games in honor of the armed services.

b. Andy Messersmith wore the number "17" and his name was replaced with "Channel" for one game to help promote the TBS Superstation.

c. The Braves wear red jerseys for every Sunday home game with a blue tomahawk.

d. When the Braves first started playing night games, they wore shiny satin uniforms because of the way they "glittered" under the stadium lights.
