Logo -- Not Bad, Hat -- Bad Sign

The new logo is not too bad. It actually stunned me with its traditional simplicity. It doesn't look like it was "focused group" at all. It looks very much like what you would expect from a Nationals logo. Which is a refreshing change from what we've come to expect in sports merchandizing.

But what is up with the hat?!?! Recycling the old bad Senators lid? SuperNoVa thinks the logo is a sign that baseball is coming to D.C. I think the hat is a bad omen. They didn't even take the time to invest in a new hat design yet. If it falls through, we won't even have a decent collectors item. All we'll be able to say is "Somebody tried to bring baseball to D.C. and all we got were these lousy T-Shirts!"

The cap is fine, especially since it comes in red (home) and blue (road) versions. Furthermore, I like that it harkens back to the RFK-era Senators; it symbolizes this franchise's (and market's) unique blend of old and new, just as does the name Nationals.
