Washington Nationals
The 2019 Nationals were a wild card team that went 19-31 to start the season and then beat the Astros in seven games to win it all. Howie Kendrick off Will Harris. Stephen Strasburg pitching every fifth day like the world depended on it. These Washington Nationals rivalry shirts are built on that exact run, for fans who watched a team nobody expected to do anything ride a Baby Shark soundtrack to a championship.
Anti-Phillies gear gets pride of place in this collection because Philadelphia has been the NL East rivalry that brings out the best in DC since the Natitude years, in text and box designs, censored or uncensored, in Nationals red, white, and navy. Anti-Braves designs cover the division power that's blocked the Nats' path more than once, with anti-Mets and anti-Marlins tees handling the rest of the NL East. Outside the division there's permanent space for Astros hate because 2019 settled that score loud.
Washington Nationals fan gear for Nats Town. Wear it to Nationals Park in Navy Yard with the Capitol dome visible, to bars in Eastern Market and on Barracks Row, to watch parties anywhere from Arlington to the Eastern Shore.
A World Series banner. Strasburg with the ball in October. Max Scherzer pitching through whatever was hurting that day. Juan Soto's shuffle at the plate before that swing. The wild card team that just kept saying it was alive. Stay in the fight.
