jp1409 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Am I the only one who loves the Nats in navy jerseys/red batting helmets? This turns a boring red/navy team into something more refreshing/different. They should also pair these with red caps... 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less enamored of the front number being gone...no matter how much I dislike that font. But hey, the jersey is now 0.75% lighter, so the players are now faster! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still room for the number, but if losing the number meant a properly aligned wordmark I'll take it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptay Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The Nats used to have a red alternate cap with a navy bill. That would balance out the look a bit more. They've just blown through so many hats and jerseys already that their identity is becoming so muddled. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than MLB / Nike's screwups with the 2024 jerseys, the Orioles haven't changed...anything...since 2010 (unless you count anniversary and memorial patches). Other than the unfortunate change from "low i" to "high i", the black jersey hasn't really changed (except for the sleeve patch) since 2001. Compared to that degree of stasis, the Nats' level of churn looks even crazier that it actually is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrutigerAero Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 My theory is that the Nationals were planning a rebrand after 2019 where they moved away from the curly W, but then they won the World Series and couldn't just ditch that. So instead they awkwardly introduced all these other styles (the white panel block W cap), but still kept their road grey set that 2019 made famous. And now we arrive where they are now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than their first kit, The Nationals have never truly had a uniform uniform set. (And the original alternate didn't really synch up with the original home and road.) The more they piecemeal their changes, the more confused their kit gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the grey jersey trim isn't on par here... The navy jersey wasn't good but that's still a pretty uniform set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Not surprising, but Fanatics is taking no accountability for this mess, and is doubling down on the fact that them & Nike think the uniforms are an improvement over what came before them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Fanatics as much as anyone, but what about this relationship is Fanatics’ fault? All they do is produce the uniforms to the specs Nike provides. MLB uniforms have been manufactured in the Majestic facility for years, including since 2017 when Fanatics bought out Majestic nearly 7 years ago. There were no problems in previous years. They continue to be manufactured in the Majestic facility in 2024. If you want someone to blame, blame Nike. This doesn’t really have much to do with Fanatics. Blaming Fanatics would be like Apple lowering the quality of their iPhone screens from OLED to LCD and then complaining it’s the Foxconn production facility’s fault. Clearly all the changes this year were a stylistic choice by Nike. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I mean Fanatics and Rubin aren't wrong in this one instance, but since everything else they produce is so crappy this was an opportunity to crap on them in the lime light. And because of their history they didn't really do anything to deserve benefit of the doubt when this all started. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road is IMO clearly the best of a bad lot here. I'd literally completely forgotten this Nationals uniform set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 why on earth do some teams put the front number so low when it's on the right (viewer's left) side? I can't think of any scenario where that's preferable to putting it parallel with the logo. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

tBBP Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 21 minutes ago, BBTV said: Pittsburgh did. As did Texas, for a spell anyways: Personally, I don't have a problem with the lower front number; it's one of those quirks I kinda like. (Though I could live with either placement: lowered or even with the chest logo/mark.) Speaking of quirks, and sorta off-topic: I miss vests. Vests were fun. Vests also added a much-needed dose of color to baseball uniforms. But given the absolute crap-jack that fan replithentics have become these days, I doubt vested jerseys even be made right—or it'd just be the vest minus the undershirts—so it's probably better they we don't have them. 2 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...
