Washington Nationals to Celebrate 20 Years with Special Logo in 2025

The 2025 season will mark the 20th anniversary of the first season for the Washington Nationals and the team is planning on celebrating.

Throughout the season, the Nationals will use a commemorative 20th anniversary logo, first teased on the scoreboard at Nationals Park during their final home games of the 2024 season back in September. Nothing’s been announced officially, but the team will likely wear the logo on their uniform as either a cap or jersey sleeve patch.

The logo shows a blue roundel trimmed in red (just like the Washington Nationals logo) with the team name around the top half in white, and the years 2005 * 2025 ’round the bottom. Inside this circle, on white, we see the Washington D.C. skyline in navy blue, with the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol Dome visible, as well as the team’s home stadium – Nationals Park, in the foreground. Hovering over the skyline is a large number 20 in red with blue trim, matching the same style used for player numbers on the Nationals uniforms.

Major League Baseball returned to the U.S. capital following a 34-year abscence when the Montreal Expos, who had played in Montreal since 1969, moved south following the conclusion of the 2004 season.

Washington has previously celebrated anniversaries on their uniforms with commemorative logos for their first season in 2005 and their tenth in 2015. The Montreal Expos wore an anniversary sleeve patch just once, to mark their 25th season in 1993.

Just one other change has been confirmed for the Washington Nationals in 2025, the elimination of their grey-and-pink Cherry Blossom-themed City Connect uniform. It is expected that the club will introduce a new City Connect to replace it.
