So it's officially the baseball offseason, which for teams like the Washington Nationals, means a very important time. No, not because we are actually in the hunt for a big-name, franchise-changing free agent. Because it's "hot stove uniform" time! Yes, it's time to unveil our new uniforms for the 2009 season...
We start with a hat that will be worn on special occasions such as the Fourth of July and Labor Day. This two-toned hat, with the interlocking alternate DC logo filled with an American flag design was designed by the same people who design uniforms for the South Atlantic League and for the Canadian Football League. What could be worse than the hat, you ask? Well, this...
This jersey will match the hat that is worn on special occasions. The navy blue jersey with red and white striping down the torso will make a wonderful stocking stuffer, and is sure to be found at your local DC-area T.J. Maxx and Marshall's within the next 12 months. This looks less like a baseball jersey and more like something that you might see on somebody in a marching band. But at least with these two awful additions to the Nationals alternate jersey collection, we have been given this...
The Nationals new away jersey, doing away with the block "WASHINGTON" in all capital letters and incorporating the script "Washington" to harken back to the Senators away jerseys. A very attractive jersey that also manages to unobtrusively feature the alternate interlocking DC logo on the sleeves.
Since more people will see the Nats on the road than will actually be coming to Nationals Park to see them at home, I'm glad that the majority of people who watch Nationals games in person will get a look at this great uniform.

If the Nats are irrelevant, maybe it means nobody will see these...

The flag in the D.C. isn't that bad. I mean, it's not great, but I can tolerate it more than you, especially if it will only be worn twice.
Obviously it only exists so they can sell it, though, and I can't imagine that will happen.
I really don't hate it, and the script Washington is pretty sharp. I can't wait to see the new Orioles uniforms with script Baltimore.
It really is moot though. Nobody is going to see them.
