The Los Angeles Angels and Atlanta Braves join other major league teams Monday by wearing their Memorial Day uniforms as they begin a three-game interleague series at Angel Stadium.

The jerseys have the team names in woodland camouflage. The caps will be camouflage with five stars representing the branches of the military.

The Angels wore the road versions of the jerseys Saturday and Sunday in Miami. The Braves wore the jerseys they will be wearing Monday on Saturday and Sunday.

All proceeds from the sale of Memorial Day apparel will benefit MLB Charities and be used to support programs for military veterans and their families.

This is the fifth consecutive year MLB teams have worn special jerseys for Memorial Day, but the first they began wearing them before Memorial Day, and ninth year they have worn special caps.

A fireworks show will follow the game, the Braves first at Angel Stadium since 2011.
