Established when?

MLB's marketing arm is betting that we fans have ridiculously short memories:


Washington Nationals jersey patch which reads "Established 1905".

I first saw this at the excellent BallWonk. I thought it was a joke at first, but now I see that they're serious - the team will wear these. I guess it's nice nod to history, even though the first Nationals franchise was established in 1884.
