A's Unveil Sacramento Uniform Patch for 2025 MLB Season in New Photos, Video
January 17, 2025
The Athletics are adding a nod to the team's temporary new home to their 2025 uniforms.
Players will wear a patch featuring an image of the Tower Bridge above the word "Sacramento" next season, the A's announced Friday.
The A's will also wear a patch featuring Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson's No. 24 throughout the 2025 season, according to the team.
Henderson, who spent four separate stretches with the A's and won the 1989 World Series with the team, died in December at age 65.
The Athletics expect to play at Sutter Health Park, home of the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate Sacramento River Cats, during the 2025 season ahead of a future move to Las Vegas.
The club currently plans to play three seasons in Sacramento before relocating to Nevada ahead of the 2028 season.
The team's residence in Sacramento includes an option for a fourth season in case the move is delayed until 2029. Construction has not yet begun on the proposed $1.75 billion ballpark project in Las Vegas.
The minor league ballpark is undergoing renovations this offseason amid its preparations to host a Major League club, including the construction of a new clubhouse and the renovation of a natural grass field.
The Athletics are refraining from adding their city to their team name, at least for now.
The club announced in November that the club would drop "Oakland" from its name and simply go by the Athletics, with "A's" as its primary logo, in 2025.
Instead of adding "Sacramento" to their name or uniform front, the team apparently plans instead to recognize the city with the patch. The addition appears to be replacing the elephant patch formerly worn by A's players on their left sleeves.
Fans in attendance on Opening Day will receive a hat featuring the Sacramento patch as well as a rally towel showing the Henderson's number, according to the team. The A's are set to play at Sutter Health Park for the first time March 31 against the Chicago Cubs.
