Haven’t seen any info for new ones in 2024. New ST/BP hats are on the way for 2024. Uni-Watch had an article about the first 7 or 8 that were leaked. Using a waffle material instead of trucker mesh. The waffle material is the same as was used on the 2020-22 Clubhouse hats (which is not a bad thing). https://uni-watch.com/2024/01/26/2024-mlb-spring-training-caps-begin-to-appear-online/ (I like this reversion back to the 1997/98 alt hat for the Red Sox ST/BP) 9 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

McCall Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Also via UniWatch, it appears the Nationals road mark red fill may have been corrected, as modeled by Dave Martinez... unless THIS jersey is the quirk. Still looks bad either way. 15 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed last year that some players on the Angels and Mets were wearing non-mesh ST caps which looked like this type of material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Did Nike fix the rising incline of the Nationals’ script? The old version could have been good but it looked bad because it was much too steep. It’s hard to say for sure, but the photo two posts above looks like the script is at a less severe angle. This replica would support that theory. Also, I missed it the first time I posted these a week or so ago, but the Nats moved the sleeve stripe into the cuff. They also flip flopped the color orientation on the new template’s collar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Boyyy the Natinals don't know what they want to look like right now, do they? Got all kind of Frankensteining going on there... 6 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nationals may be one team that actually benefits from Nike's "smaller front numbers" mandate. The front numbers in the first photo are ginormous! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like the ST hats are a bit more bright this year, so maybe that's the goal for spring. 8 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Sleeve trim has already been touched on, but still taking some getting used to. The Quikrete sponsor patch has changed from full embroidery to a cheaper patch with a thicker outline. It looks like the embroidery no longer goes deep under the placket to mask the clear separation (not sure of a better way to describe that). Also, they do not appear to have perforated numbers. Not sure if that’s something they were able to opt out of, or if they just slapped some old numbers on the new jerseys for their Fan Fest event. If you click the tweets, you can view the photos in higher res and a better aspect ratio. Great, smaller script and smaller tomahawk...... but on the positive side, price is now up to $400 Thank you Nike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a jersey? Oh hell to the no. But as a jacket? I've seen worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 21 minutes ago, GriffinM6 said: I guess I must be the only person who like the raglan sleeve Nats alt? My gripes with the new Nats' alt: - It's supposed to be a V-neck when it's really more of a "Y-neck." - It looks incomplete without front numbers, especially when you remember the team's three other non-City Connect jerseys all have them. This supports the criticism that the design looks like a fashion jersey you'd find at Walmart. - Ultimately, it's not interesting enough to justify losing the red alternate. Having two white and no red jerseys in your uniform rotation, especially when red is a co-dominant color with navy, is just poor planning. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @coco1997, I’m not sure I would have replaced the red alternate with it, but there’s nothing I find objectionable about it from a purely aesthetic standpoint. It does but me that they didn’t commit all the way in one direction or the other though in terms of overall branding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having two white and no red jerseys in your uniform rotation, especially when red is a co-dominant color with navy, is just poor planning. Exactly. I've always considered the Nationals as a red team with with enough navy to make them stand out. In a sport where you got the Phillies (red with a splash of royal), Cards (red with a splash of navy) and Angels (red with a splash of navy), the Nationals felt different. When you look at the picture from fan fest, they now look like a navy team with red accents like the Braves, Indians, Twins and Red Sox. They slowly became this boring mess... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 When do we expect the ST caps to drop? About a third of them have already leaked and I’m itching to see the full collection. I’m ready to pull the trigger on my red/navy Braves BP low crown without the ST patch. I used to buy them nearly every year and then New Era started mailing it in (plastic logos, bad materials, monochrome logos, etc). This year’s collection looks alright.
