Random fact: That identity marked one of only four seasons since 1909 where the White Sox didn't wear either a hat or jersey that simply read "SOX" on it (1942, 1987-1989). The urban legend was that the Sox slapped that "C" on there because Eddie Einhorn secretly wanted an "E" on it.

Low crowns and no crowns have always looked weird on me. Especially when I wear them backwards.

I know there's precedent for doing it anyway (The original Baltimore Orioles are the franchise that is now the New York Yankees) but the Senators are the Rangers now.

The Twins use to be the Washington Senators as well.

DC lost the Senators twice...the other time was to the Twins.
In the "pro" Nationals camp though, it was an early name for the team in 1900-ish. It was later changed to the Senators, who moved to Texas.
One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Kansas City, Kansas in 1894 as the Kansas City Blues before moving to Washington, D.C. and renamed Senators. In 1905 the team changed its official name to the Washington Nationals.[1] The name "Nationals" would appear on the uniforms for only 2 seasons, and would then be replaced with the "W" logo for the next 52 years. The media often shortened the nickname to "Nats". Many fans and newspapers (especially out-of-town papers) persisted in using the "Senators" nickname. Over time, "Nationals" faded as a nickname, and "Senators" became dominant. Baseball guides would list the club's nickname as "Nationals or Senators", acknowledging the dual-nickname situation.
