So this is what the Nationals 2011 Road Jersey looks like?

Funny, that looks almost exactly like last year's road model.

The Nationals team shop on MLB.com now has the above "Washington Nationals Authentic 2011 Road Cool Base Jersey" up for sale on the site on the jersey page. Although it looks quite similar to the road jersey used last season, the piping on the sleeves appears to now be flush with the cuff, where as the old model had gray between the red & blue stripes and the cuff. It will go nicely with the road cap which was up online yesterday but is no longer available. And as of 9:00 this morning, almost all of the "old" jerseys have disappeared from the online shop.

Oh, and a source with knowledge of the situation put the question of pinstripes to bed with a definitive "No". The home unis will not have pinstripes. Breathe easier, NatsTown.

Fine by me, I love the script Washington. Not crazy about the new cap though -- not bad, but the current caps are fine.

Also, no DC logo on the sleeve.

The road script isn't changing. All the sleeve patches are changing and the number fonts are changing.

The total overhaul is the home white jersey.

I wonder if it'll be a complete and total purge for the DC logo?

That'll make me sad, but if it was only going to survive in tacky stars & stripes, then I guess it's best.

Annnnd...the jersey is no longer viewable on the Nationals team shop page... Ooops!

And yeah, like Steve M. said, the big "surprise" will be with the home jersey...

NE - The other change I see in your photo is no number on the front of the jersey which could be because that is a generic pic.

There was a pic of a real Nats home jersey prototype at NatsFanGirls which may or may not be the real jersey too.

7 hours away from the unveiling(s)!

Here is the new alternate jersey (at least before they take this down, too) http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3373629
