California—The Oakland Athletics have announced plans to debut their new “Sacramento” alternate jerseys in 2026, as the team reflects its temporary home in the Sacramento area. The unveiling of these jerseys occurred on Sunday, prior to the Athletics’ final game of the 2025 season against the Kansas City Royals.
Currently, the Athletics are playing their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento after a historic 57-season run in Oakland. With the Athletics planning to relocate to Las Vegas in 2028, they will continue to call Sutter Health Park home for at least three seasons until their new stadium in Las Vegas is completed.
The new gold jerseys, characterized by the word “Sacramento” prominently displayed in green font on the front, are part of a broader initiative to connect with the local community. In addition to the jerseys, the 2025 season also featured a Tower Bridge sleeve patch, celebrating the local landmark.
A’s President Marc Badain emphasized that the new jerseys acknowledge the support of fans, businesses, and community leaders in the region. The Athletics plan to wear these jerseys during Saturday home games and potentially other home and road games throughout the 2026 season, promoting the theme of “Sacramento Saturdays.” This initiative aims to consistently highlight their connection to their temporary home throughout the season.
Fans attending the game against the Houston Astros on April 4, 2026, will receive a replica jersey as a token of appreciation. The jersey and associated initiatives are designed to honor the club’s interim home in the Capital Region and will include special theme nights and community engagement programs.
This will mark the first jersey featuring “Sacramento” since the Athletics temporarily moved to their current location. There is also speculation that the new jerseys may replace the existing gold alternates, which feature the “A’s” logo. Furthermore, the Athletics are one of only two Major League Baseball (MLB) teams that currently do not have a City Connect uniform, further reinforcing their commitment to the Sacramento community.
As of the conclusion of the 2025 season, the Athletics recorded a disappointing team record of 76-86, placing them near the bottom of the American League West standings. Despite this, the organization aims to foster a strong relationship with its new local fanbase through the introduction of the alternate jerseys and associated community events.
