19. player. 90. . Est. 1977, in Washington since 2005. National League East. Washington Nationals

  • Home Cap: 19th
  • Home Jersey: 16th
  • Road Cap: 22nd
  • Road Jersey: 18th

The Good: I like that the Washington Nationals chose to revive the curly W logo of the Washington Senators when the franchise moved from Montreal prior to the 2005 season, and the club has one of the few solid red caps that looks right to me (the others being the Cardinals and Reds).

The first uniforms the team used as the Nationals weren’t quite right (too much beveling), but the team got it right by switching to their current style in 2009. The team also incorporated a red alternate jersey with a curly W on the chest in 2009 that (once they changed the numbers in 2011) ranks as one of the best regular alternates in the game today.

The Bad: There’s not much wrong at all with the Washington Nationals’ uniform set, and there’s really just one thing about their current combinations that is less than perfect. While the 2009 upgrade was an improvement over the first Nationals uniforms in almost every way (though I also liked gold as a third color, just not in the beveling), the decision to switch to a red-billed away cap in 2011 was a downgrade. I usually love navy blue caps with red bills, but the solid navy Washington cap the team wore from 2005-11 was one of my personal favorites.
