Natsfest issues really are the Lerners at their most obnoxious.  It's not hard to imagine the hurdles and costs of staging an event like that in the middle of winter and it must not be justifiable to them to do it just for the benefit of fans.

Is it too late in the "season" for them to have a Fanfest?    Is there anything scheduled?

Three weeks away is cutting it close if they make the announcement now.  I do suspect that they will have autograph signings and other such things at the Red Sox game, just not the full scale Nats Fest.  As of last fall they were planning one but the cost benefit analysis was obviously rejected by the board.

I suspect they will do some kind of fanfest during the season. But, frankly, I don't care.

I heard yesterday that FanFest has been cancelled for this year.  Has anyone else heard this?  I haven't seen anything official.  At the end of last season I was told that FanFest was going to be combined with the Red Sox exhibition game but now with a little more than three weeks to go it sounds like it is a no go.  I couldn't attend in any case but since the FO has decided to join the Yanks and Phillies as one of the three or four teams in the league with no winter event, why don't they just start up an #FUNatsFans hash tag?

I tight that our ever helpful Nats rep here informed us that there was no NatsFets this year. Didn't the WaPo roll with the story that the Nats had "tried" to get the convention center but it was already booked, and the Nats couldn't find anyplace big enough and just decided to pass on the 2012 FanFest. Did I Mindfact any of that?

I don't recall reading any official confirmation that Nats Fest has been cancelled.  (The convention center rumor was about 2013, not for this year.)  As of late September the plan was to combine Nats Fest with the Red Sox game so I'm curious to know why the plan fell apart if that is what happened.

So, they don't have the convention center for the 2013 FanFest either?

In honor of the fifth bottom of the ninth in eight home games so far this spring the Nats have released pictures of the opening day hat and opening night shirt.  Suffice it to say that I won't be breaking away from my tailgate party early for either of these monstrosities.

The hat looks great.

From that angle. Worn the way non gang members/Justin Bieber wear hats, wtf? You'll have a dead white center and this retarded W on one side? People looking at you from the right will think you're wearing a white hat. Who's dumb ass idea was it to put the W on the side? Same exact hat, but with the W in the center the way any freaking hat should be? Eh. It wouldn't be that bad. As is, I'll hand it back to them when they give it to me, its not worth the effort to carry it around the stadium then throw it away when I get home.

The T-shirt? Another T-crap. Not worthy to wash my car with. Who designs these dumbass shirts that look worse than some undershirt an 8-year old kid makes? Seriously Nats, good giveaways aren't that hard and can be cool and still cheap. Look at the minor leagues. freak, look at your own affiliates. That Bryce Harper Lawn Gnome on opening day at Nats Park? People would laugh, but they'd also say holy crap, that is a cool giveaway and would remember it for a long time. This filth? I wish I could forget it already. Jesus, what's the point of even wasting our time and their money with this crap? No one wants it,  and no one wears it.

The sad thing is that people will wear these, not a lot of people, but enough to make the whole fan base look bad.

The PR staff should be required to wear these in public as punishment.

Holy hell, that hat is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.  Who in their right mind approved that?  Some 6th grader with Microsoft Paint and clipart?

So much for getting in early to try to get the promo hat.  Wow...............

That is one ugly hat. I am going to assume they are appealing to some demographic...one with really bad taste, I guess.

For the most part, yes. I have my share of them too. That's why I'm not sweating that fugly one they're giving out this year.

I wonder if Geico is sponsoring the OD hats again this year. They might want their money back.
