All colorized images of the road cap have the visor in red, but the evidence would seem to indicate it's blue

In the Bees final year, the cap is navy with a red visor and block "B" - the same style used throughout most of the rest of the team's history as the Braves.
1941-42
The team's name becomes the Braves again. Cap is navy with Old English "B". Though Dressed to the Nines shows a block "B" road cap, looks like the Old English style was used on the road, as this is a 1942 photo.

Navy cap with a block "B" home and road.
