No photos of them, but hopefully they'll do something better than those bland pieces of **** they wore last year.

I didn't think they were that bad. I think their road unis were pretty sharp.

Did they indicate the uniforms would change? Ooooh, they could use some black to really jazz up their look.

I have no idea, I just saw it on the front page of mlb.com today.

Who thinks they'll be stupid and use black?

I guess they didn't like the Angel-esque uniforms.

The 05 jerseys were bland, but not horrible. Surprisingly, I actually loved the road jersey.

I dont know what they will do, but I hope they use the pretzel W as part of "Washington" in script on the road jerseys, and "Nationals" in script on the home jerseys reminiscent of the old Senators jerseys circa 1970. I don't think they will do that, however.
I have heard from a reliable source that the alternate will be just like their BP jersey - red with the DC logo. How original.

Edit: I just noticed the headline. They are not getting new jerseyS, they are getting one new jersey, an alternate, and an alternate cap. Same ol' Angel-esque jerseys next year except for the alt.

To me it looks like they're just adding an alternate and keeping the current road and homes.

speaking of choking...

:?:
The Nats didn't choke, they weren't nearly as good a team as the Braves. They were in first place into July, but when the Braves went on a roll, the Nats couldn't compete. It isn't like they lost a huge lead in September, 6 of their last 7 (like the Indians:D:).

Yeah. Reading is a skill, I suppose. :cool:

Nat's Press Release...

Their uni's were OK last year, but could have been much better. That font they used for "Nationals" was just dumb.


And please.....NO BLACK!

[nccwsfan]

My guess is that their 3rd uni will be using the 'DC' logo. It was one of their more popular hats this year (have to go to Nats games if I want to check out live MLB on a regular basis...)

The Nats didn't choke- they didn't have the hitting to last an entire season. Christian Guzman was hands down the worst free agent signing of 2005-just godawful numbers...

[cbrownson13]

They put them up, they are just alternates...

I agree. I actually bought one when I was visiting the area this past summer...

[Steelrod]

It's about time. I was really getting tired of their old uniforms. All teams should make some changes every once in a while. I believe this is the National's FIRST CHANGE EVER !

[Baby Fisk]

The road uniforms are awesome, but all that RED RED RED for the home unies and alternates is boring. Too much like Anaheim.

Very astute observation. As a matter of fact, the designer of the Anaheim AND Washington jerseys (among others) was the same guy.
