Germanshepherd Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 If they weren’t pullovers I’d be all about the Nats’ home uniforms, tho I’d prefer the DC front and center. Roads are kind of a snoozer, but as long as they actually wear grey every road game we’re good. 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Wow, there's a lot to unpack with these new Nationals jerseys... I try to avoid saying things like this, but the gray away jersey really looks Create-a-Team like. It's hard to believe they deliberately went in the opposite direction of consistency with the home "Nationals" script jersey (which appears to be staying, by the way), when the easy solution would've been to just flip the colors of the "Washington" script to match the home. The new wordmark is brutal (especially after @monkeypower pointed out the inconsistently filled-in "S"), incredibly generic, and now the stripes don't match. I would've at least had more respect for it if they moved on completely from the curly W and the scripts, but they only went halfway. Just a baffling move there. On the other hand, even though I've never liked the Capitol Building logo, I think it actually works pretty nicely with this white jersey. The contrasting sleeves and the "wishbone" collar give it a bit of a soccer jersey vibe, which I honestly kind of like, it feels really unique. I'm not sure I'd use it in place of either the red or navy jersey (which, given the 4+1 rule, they'll seemingly have to drop one of those two now), but I actually really like it for what it is. It'd make a nice Spring Training jersey, maybe. It's also worth noting that the "DC" patch is shown on the model/player's left sleeve, while on the "display" jersey it's on the right sleeve, meaning an ad patch is surely coming, unfortunately. The Nats have been a bit of an inconsistent mess for a while now, and these jerseys only make it worse. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayGloria Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Is it just me, or does any one want just one DC franchise to just go nuts with stars and stripes? I just want either the Caps or the Nats to just be unapologetically patriotic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 One (and probably the only one other than the DC patch) positive is the Nats switching their trim to red/white/blue instead of the just red and blue. Looks less Braves-ish. Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Just saw the Marlins unveiling, nothing crazy but yea the black jersey wordmark is filled in white, the blue jersey now has the black Marlins wordmark. Nothing on caps so I assume they're the same and nothing said on what use the uniforms are designated for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalCookie Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Oh hey, a nice opportunity to say the Nationals should drop the curly W and go with the interlocking DC full time. Unfortunately, the reappearance of that logo is the only good thing that came out of these two uniforms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeH28 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The alternate at least is good, but that road jersey is not something they should be proud of 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The Nats are a mess top to bottom and need a complete overhaul. This is your main logo: The cap you wear the most at home: Your home uniform with a cursive script that matches your actual logo (although the script is positioned at a horrible angle): And now your new road and alternate uniforms. The road now features a block wordmark that matches nothing in the set, with double outlines and a new striping pattern. Your alternate features the logo you wear at home instead of your primary logo. Make it make sense! It’s like they handed a blank uniform to three separate people and said, “each of you make a separate design for us.” I think I prefer their original scripts with the monument style wordmarks. That set was consistent and unique. It also had a defined color palette of white/red/gold at home and gray/navy/gold on the road. I’d even take back their old design with the W on the chest, or that prototype from a while back that had the cursive Nationals in red. I realize not everything needs to be 100% matching, but there is zero brand consistency here at all. Just make things somewhat consistent! 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M59 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Re: the Nationals 1) I've never understood why a DC team would shackle itself to a variant of the Dallas Cowboys 1960s number font...and then stick with the bloody thing through all their various (mostly bad and generally mismatched) uniforms. 2) I think the Nationals script wordmark is tilted like it is because the team name is so long. The Orioles could save themselves a bit of grief with tilting their "italicized" wordmark at a similar angle. Might eliminate the four lane divided highway between the "i" and second "o". 3) Slap a giant Pepsi logo on the right breast of that alternate jersey and you have this season's SGA soccer jersey. 4) That collar treatment...that collar treatment utterly sucks. Somebody bring back the two-button Henley style...please! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
