Nationals New City Connect 2.0 Uniform
The Washington Nationals have officially unveiled their latest City Connect uniforms, paying tribute to the rich cultural and architectural heritage of the nation’s capital. The new design, primarily featuring a bold blue color scheme, will make its on-field debut on March 29 against the Philadelphia Phillies.
This latest uniform set follows the Nationals' first City Connect release, which prominently featured Washington, D.C.’s iconic cherry blossoms. While those floral elements return, this new iteration expands its homage to the city with a range of symbolic details.
One of the most striking additions is a new stylized “W” that incorporates the outline of the Capitol dome. This emblem appears on both the cap and jersey patch, flanked on either side by cherry blossoms. The patch sits on a background inspired by the architectural tile work seen in some of D.C.’s most renowned buildings, including the Capitol rotunda, the Library of Congress, and even the city’s Metro stations.
The jersey itself is a testament to Washington, D.C.’s structure and layout, featuring a city grid pattern in tones reminiscent of American denim. Even the underbill of the cap carries this city grid, alongside the Nationals’ signature curly W, reinforcing the team’s deep connection to its home.
“This season marks our 20th anniversary, and my family and I are so proud of how this team has become woven into the fabric of our city,” Nationals principal owner Mark D. Lerner shared in the team’s press release. “These uniforms are a great representation of how baseball has the power to bring us all together, and we are continually honored to play for the people of Washington, D.C.”
Adding a touch of nostalgia, the Nationals have brought back the interlocking “DC” logo, which was featured on uniforms from 2006 to 2010. However, this version boasts a modern 3D design, inspired by the classic block W logo worn by the 1956 Washington Senators.
The uniform is completed with white pants that feature a mosaic trim, a nod to the diverse makeup of the city. This subtle detail ties into the broader theme of the uniform set—honoring Washington, D.C.’s legacy while embracing the present-day community that the Nationals represent.
As the Nationals gear up for their City Connect debut, these new uniforms stand as a powerful visual tribute to the heart of the city. Whether it’s the cherry blossoms, the Capitol dome, or the city’s historic grid, every detail weaves together a narrative that celebrates Washington, D.C.’s identity in a bold and stylish fashion.
