"After spending this season in California's capital city without acknowledging that on their uniforms beyond a should patch, the Athletics will have Sacramento written on gold alternate jerseys in 2026. The A's were in Oakland for 57 seasons through 2024, but plan to move to Las Vegas beginning in 2028. They're using Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, the home of the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate (the River Cats), for at least three seasons until a proposed ballpark in Vegas is built."
"Officially known as simply the Athletics in 2025, the team did take criticism for not fully embracing its temporary home. The Sacramento gold alternate jerseys could temper some of that criticism. The new Sacramento' jersey is our way of saying thank you to the fans, businesses and community leaders who helped bring Major League Baseball to town, A's President Marc Badain said in a news release on Sunday."
The Athletics, who played 57 seasons in Oakland through 2024 and plan to move to Las Vegas in 2028, will have 'Sacramento' on gold alternate jerseys in 2026. The team will use Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento for at least three seasons while a Las Vegas ballpark is built. The jerseys will be worn for Saturday home games and possibly others as a thank-you to local fans, businesses and community leaders. The team drew a major-league-low home attendance of 768,464 in 81 games, averaging 9,487. Game-time temperatures peaked at 99 degrees, and eight home games started at 90 degrees or higher.
