California – The Oakland Athletics have revealed plans to wear “Sacramento” on gold alternate jerseys during the 2026 season. This announcement was made on Sunday, just before the final game of the 2025 season against the Kansas City Royals. The team is currently based at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, marking a significant change after a 57-season history in Oakland. The Athletics are set to move to Las Vegas in 2028, and they will use Sutter Health Park for at least three seasons until their new stadium is ready.
The newly designed jerseys will feature “Sacramento” prominently in green font on the front. This initiative aims to acknowledge and thank fans, businesses, and community leaders who have supported the team during this transition period. A’s President, Marc Badain, indicated that the jerseys are a symbol of gratitude towards the Capital Region community.
These gold alternate jerseys will be worn during Saturday home games and possibly some road games throughout the 2026 season, in a promotion known as “Sacramento Saturdays.” This new design will replace the existing gold alternates that feature the “A’s” logo. The jerseys also reflect a modern twist on the team’s traditional gold color, further emphasizing their connection to Sacramento.
On April 4, 2026, the Athletics are set to give away replica jerseys to fans attending the game against the Houston Astros, celebrating the introduction of this new alternate uniform. Throughout the year, the team plans to hold special theme nights and community initiatives in conjunction with the new jerseys. This jersey debut will be the first display of “Sacramento” since the Athletics established their interim home in West Sacramento.
Despite experiencing a lackluster performance in 2025, with a record of 76-86 near the bottom of the American League West standings, the franchise is taking steps to strengthen its ties with the local community. Notably, the Athletics are one of only two Major League Baseball teams without a City Connect uniform, thus reinforcing their identity as representatives of Sacramento.
As the franchise prepares for its move to Las Vegas, these alternate jerseys serve a dual purpose—honoring the past while looking forward to future endeavors. The A’s are fostering a sense of local pride while navigating a pivotal chapter in their history.
