2011 Topps Commemorative Patch #HA of Hank Aaron with print on top "1946 Milwaukee Braves" makes no sence to me.



Hmmm . . . 1946 ?

Hank Aaron played from 1954 till 1976.

The Braves was in Milwaukee from 1953 till 1965.

probably a printing error or something......... I have one of those of nolan ryan and the patch is spelled wrong so i guess you can expect anything

The Tom Seaver patch is of him in a Mets uniform yet the card reads New York Giants.......Then again Topps' National Chicle "throwback" SP of Pujols has him in a Browns uni and George Sissler is in a Cardinals jersey from the old stars in the new unis....A St.Louis Brown would be wearing a Baltimore Orioles' uniform....

There was a new Braves design launched in 1946 but it would have made a lot more sense to have that on a Spahn card or something like that.

Regardless, its still a nice piece!

I did a quick google search and found this:



"In 1946, things were looking up for the Braves. A new manager, veteran Billy Southworth; a solid pitching staff paced by Sain and Spahn; and even a radical new uniform design that was destined to become a classic. To conservative tastes it was a gross overstatement with an abundance of color trimmings but it seemed to enrapture the fans who have since identified this image with success on the field. It was a generous balance of red and navy blue from top to bottom. A brand new slanted script version of BRAVES across the front was dramatically underscored with a tomahawk silhouette. The now familiar Indian head profile graced the left sleeve. Red and navy piping was everywhere you could put it on a baseball uniform. There was even a modified satin version for night games only. Meanwhile, back to the pennant wars, these post-war Braves finally captured a pennant in 1948 and the franchise had a new lease on life. The ‘Tomahawk” uniform design was here to stay for awhile."

It looks like 1946 was the year that the Braves wore that "modern" patch.

It's been discussed how these throwback patches only seem to have the franchise in common with the player represented, and not the era they played/are playing in. Kind of an odd concept.

The Ripken patch is a '66, for example.

The Seaver is totaly off the wall though..... New York Mets uniform for a card that reads "New York Giants"

It would made more sence to have the 1952 Braves Patch since it's Topps 60th anniversary and have either Warren Spahn or Eddie Mathews on it. But yes, it is a nice card to have.
