SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Major League Baseball and the Athletics recently announced that the Athletics will wear a new sleeve patch featuring a depiction of the iconic Tower Bridge, which is located behind the ballpark in right field, as well as the word “Sacramento, “all in the team’s classic green and gold color scheme. That’s to commemorate the club’s inaugural season in California’s capital region.

The Athletics will play their 2025 home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, starting in March, while a new stadium is being built for the Athletics in Las Vegas. The Athletics left Oakland at the conclusion of the 2024 season when the organization’s lease agreement with the city for the Oakland Coliseum expired. The Athletics reported at the time that the club was unable to come to terms with Oakland on a new stadium to replace the outdated and dilapidated coliseum.

The Tower Bridge patch will occupy the spot on the left sleeve of players’ jerseys that was previously home to the team’s elephant mascot “Stomper” patch. The Stomper patch dates back to the days when the Athletics called Philadelphia home. The announcement from the club and the league regarding the new Sacramento-themed patch did not state when or if the Stomper patch will return to players’ jerseys in the future.

What’s for certain when the Major League Baseball’s Athletics take the field for their home opener against the Chicago Cubs at Sutter Health Park on March 31, the players will sport a patch on their jerseys’ left sleeve that pays tribute to the team’s, albeit temporary, home.

Every fan who attends the Athletics inaugural game at Sutter Health Park on March 31 against the Chicago Cubs will receive a green-and-white trucker hat donning the new Sacramento-area jersey patch.
