The Oakland Athletics are not changing the core nickname of their franchise, but they have officially dropped "Oakland" from their geographic identifier as part of their multi-phase relocation process. When the franchise concluded its fifty-seven-year tenure in Oakland, California, after the 2024 season, the organization transitioned to play temporarily at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California. During this intermediate residency, the team officially adopted the streamlined name "The Athletics" (and "A's" as an approved secondary reference) without adding a temporary city designation like Sacramento to their official brand guidelines. Once construction of their new multi-billion-dollar domed stadium on the Las Vegas Strip is completed, the franchise is scheduled to officially adopt the permanent geographic name "Las Vegas Athletics." Team owner John Fisher and executive leadership have repeatedly confirmed that the historic "Athletics" moniker—which has traveled with the franchise from Philadelphia to Kansas City, to Oakland, and onward—will remain permanently intact.
