I am going to briefly divert my attention from putting together a post-mortem on the 2013 Washington Nationals season to look ahead to next year. In his latest ESPN Uni Watch column, Paul Lukas reveals that the Washington Nationals may be going with a two-tone batting practice/spring training jersey next season.

In a move that’s sure to raise eyebrows (or maybe ruin eyeballs), seven teams — the Braves, Indians, Rockies, Royals, Marlins, Rays and Nationals — are going with two-tone designs, with one color on the front of the jersey and a different color on the back. (Interestingly, the Rangers, who can never seem to decide whether their primary color is blue or red, are sticking with one color — blue — on the front and back.)

That’s pending league approval, but I can’t imagine it not going through.

I can’t say I am fan of the two-tone jersey, but it’s just for BP anyway, so no big deal. It isn’t as bad as the awful Nats BP caps with the white panel, though.
