I’ve noticed that the A’s have worn strictly grey on the road this season. Last year, it was a mix between the grey, gold, and the kelly green tops but with the 2010s style gold jerseys being retired in the offseason in favor of their new “Sacramento Saturdays” jersey, we’ve seem to have lost the gold top as an option on the road. Which is strange when you think about it, given that it’s the only jersey in their collection that pays respect to the city they’re sort’ve resting in for the time being. I guess this is because they don’t want to give opposing fans the wrong impression. They are The Athletics. Not the Sacramento Athletics. Even on Sacramento Saturdays, they’re still The Athletics. Sporting “Sacramento” across their chests is simply just an act of fan service. A reason for locals to flock to the team shop in between innings.

Now why they’ve stopped wearing the kelly greens on the road, I don’t know. My working theory is that the players have grown tired of them. It’s been adopted as their spring training look in recent years and maybe because of that, it’s lost a little bit of its big league charm. In fact overall, it might be the least worn jersey this season. I can only recall it being worn once. If that continues to be the case, it would actually be so for the second consecutive year. Tim Kelly from MLB.com did a power ranking going into the season, where he broke down where every MLB club’s uniform combos stood in comparison to one another, as well as how many times they were worn throughout 2025.

The A’s came in second (easy first imo) behind the St. Louis Cardinals and this was their overall slashline:

Grey — 67; White — 59; Yellow — 23; Kelly Green — 13

At the pace we’re moving, grey will remain the dominant jersey. 67 times out of 81 opportunities is already pretty insane when you think about it. Take one more option out of the mix and grey has a real shot at cracking 75 this season.

Now if they go the whole year without ever veering from ole reliable on the road, we the fans should get some sort of pizza party…or at least a verbal commitment to bringing back the black tops from the late 2000s.
