Nationals New Alts!

[CS85]

that sure was worth waiting for. really exciting.

Frank Robinson's not going to like this...

I don't think I'm going to like this... is red becoming the new black?

The only redeeming quality is that red is one of the Nationals colors. I would have preferred blue myself - then again, it wouldn't look right with red caps.

it looks better with the numbers on the opposite side of the DC

I agree. The biggest problem is the pipping. The red of the piping should be either white, or most likely, gold. It doesn't look good like this, it looks very cheap. I don't think it would be unprecedented for MLB to do that little tweak before the season starts (even after selling the merchandise).

I like the new uniforms they look more like traditional uniforms.

[jewbanpimp]

I don't like the trend of baseball uniforms with the logo on the upper left chest and the number at a lower level on the opposite side (Indians alt, Rockies, Rangers alt, etc). I with more teams would follow the Whote Sox and Reds' lead and have them at the same level. I think it looks a lot more professional. On these, the number looks like an afterthought, not part of the uniform design itself.

[floydnimrod]

they should have done blue ones

[Puckguy14]

I never understood the idea of not having the numbers vertically complimenting the logo on the front. Colorado does that too right? Bleh. They chose red because their home uniforms have red as the primary color.

[IceCap]

i like 'em. but then again i also like the braves alt, so what do i know?

[philly97flyer]

Too inconsistent. Either white numbers and logo, or blue numbers and logo.

Now wondering what the new alternate cap will look like.

[NickSixers]

Now wondering what the new alternate cap will look like.

It's red with the DC logo. I'll try to find the pic that someone took yesterday at the unveiling. I'll be buying the alt hat. I think a lot of others here in DC will be too.

I have yet to see these WHOTE Sox uniforms. What do they look like?

[griffelh]

Is this the cap?

[mightynine]

Is this the cap?

Nope, that's a fashion cap, but the new alt will probably look similiar to that.

Also, with the new red alt, the BP jersey has now shifted to blue:

[BallWonk]

Is this the cap?

No. That's a fashion hat. The real hat looks like this:

Most of the fashion DC hats this year had all-white stitching. The new alt caps have the gold beveling.

Note that the cap Jose Guillen wore to the unveiling event in Springfield, Virginia, was, at the time, the only one that existed. At the new uni event at the team store at RFK stadium, Marlon Byrd had to wear a batting-practice cap. New Era put the cap into production starting Friday, or so I am told.

Anyway, since the alt cap has the gold beveling, it will be my Official Favorite Nationals Cap, just as soon as I can get my hands on one.

It Looks Good!

[Hardcore Legend]

That DC logo was terrible last year, and now they are showcasing it even more. Talk about generic.

[FiddySicks]

Just ordered one. I think it looks sweet, but not in that picture.

One thing about the Nats is that when they first unvieled the unis i felt that they were good but were still missing something. Now that theyve unveiled the new alts with the hats, i feel theyre closer but still not quite there yet

[tmorss9]

Are they going to be like Detroit and have home and road BP jerseys, using teh old red ones at home and new blue ones on the road?
