Two brothers and lifelong Braves fans have a mission to get the team to change its branding to something that doesn't use Native American iconography.
Augusta natives Marty and Chris Buccafusco have started a group called Bravest ATL to push for the change.
The backstory:
The Braves are among several big league teams that still use Native American-inspired monikers, including the NFL’s Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks.
In 2021, Cleveland's baseball team officially changed its name from the Indians to the Guardians, a name inspired by eight massive, art-deco statues on the Hope Memorial Bridge near the ballpark.
