If there is one thing our culture is all about it is premature nostalgia for the not-so-distant past.<sup>1<\/sup> Then again, I&#8217;ve heard nostalgia is a form of depression.<sup>2<\/sup> Perhaps given the Nats first six seasons, that is a <strike>little<\/strike> lot more apt analysis than we&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>I think my Nats jersey probably gets &#8220;retired&#8221; so to speak with the changes. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll get a new one either, I&#8217;ll probably wear a team t-shirt, maybe a sweatshirt going forward. I&#8217;m not opposed to a new one (especially the road uniform which is the best DC has ever worn), but I don&#8217;t see myself plunking down the dough. If I got jerseys at this point, I&#8217;d be leaning towards the red Washington Capitals sweater.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll probably pull out my old beveled-block Nats jersey for Opening Day 2015 when the original team gets together and <strong>Brad Wilkerson<\/strong> and <strong>Jose Gullien<\/strong> hug at home plate before \u00a1LIVAN! pitches 7 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and <strong>Ryan Zimmerman<\/strong> won the Silver Slugger award for third basemen and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalsenquirer.com\/2010\/11\/ryan-zimmerman-wins-silver-slugger-reminds-mike-rizzo-to-sign-adam-dunn-please.html\"><strong>as usual, Nationals Enquirer nails it<\/strong><\/a>.
