Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “98 Braves jersey Wallen” thing popping up all over my social media feeds, and honestly, I had no clue what it was all about. So, like any normal person in 2024, I started digging.

First, I googled “98 Braves jersey.” Seems pretty straightforward, right? Turns out, it’s referring to the Atlanta Braves baseball team’s jersey from 1998. Okay, cool, I love a good throwback jersey.
Putting It All Together
Then came the “Wallen” part. A quick search there brought me to Morgan Wallen, the country music singer. And, yup, there are pictures of him all over the internet, wearing, what do you know, a ’98 Braves jersey.
- Step 1: Separate the Search Terms. The 98 Braves jersey and Wallen.
- Step 2: Realize the meaning. Found out what a ’98 Braves Jersey’ is, and who Morgan Wallen.
- Step 3: I made the connection. I found many pictures of Wallen wear the jersey.
So, I guess it’s just a thing now. People are into it. It’s like a combination of sports nostalgia and country music fandom. I even saw some people online trying to find their own ’98 Braves jerseys to, I don’t know, be part of the trend?
I haven’t decided if I’m going to jump on this bandwagon yet. Maybe I’ll dig through my old boxes in the attic and see if I have any vintage sports gear lying around. Who knows, might be the start of a whole new me.
