The 2018 baseball season is around the corner, and this week, we got a preview of the on-field look for the Washington Nationals. This season has Nats fans attention specifically as the All-Star game will roll through town in July. Overall, not much changed from what 2017 brought us for the regular season, just one jersey addition and a fresh slate of holiday uniforms. Let’s take a look at what the Nats will wear this season.

REGULAR SEASON UNIFORMS:

The Nats will return with the traditional home white uniform with blue and red trim, the iconic red Curly-W logo on the left chest and number on the right side. The gray road uniform remains the same with a script “Washington” across the front.

The alternate uniform options grew by one this season, as an all-navy top joins the rotation with the “Nationals” script across the front. It made its debut at Winterfest this offseason. The uniform’s neck design mirrors the road uniform, avoiding a deeper cut like the rest of the home uniform options. It’s unclear if this will remain a permanent fixture within the uniform rotation, but it won’t replace any existing uniforms. It’s a welcome addition to see the script “Nationals” wordmark as an on-field option.

A remaining feature in the alternate options is the return of the star-spangled Curly-W that the team has worn in navy-blue for several years along with a white version that was added last season. Additionally, the traditional alternate red uniform with a white Curly-W returns to the carousel of options.

A special addition to this season’s uniforms is the official All-Star Game logo on the jersey’s right sleeve, which sits opposite the Nationals official logo.

REGULAR SEASON CAPS:

The Nats hat rotation remains unchanged this season with one minor footnote: The team added alternate caps for their patriotic jerseys last season, creating caps with a red top and blue bill in addition to its inverse with the star-spangled Curly-W logo in place of the traditional white Curly-W. The all-red home hat stays in place. The road hat will remain the blue top, red bill combination. The simple red alternate uniform will remain paired with the red top, blue bill cap.

What remains uncertain is what will be worn with the new navy blue uniform. My guess is the road hat.
