What is the origin of the Washington Nationals Hat in The Karate Kid?

I%26#039;m in the middle of watching the karate kid and in one of the scenes where mr. miyagi takes daniel to the ocean and they talk to the drunk guys, one of the guys has a washington nationals hat on. It%26#039;s the hat with the W insignia but I%26#039;m sure this movie was before their time. What%26#039;s the deal?|||I don%26#039;t recall the scene in question, but Washington had two different Senators franchises long before the Nationals moved into town.





Here%26#039;s links to team logos (some including caps, scroll down a bit). See if any one matches what you saw in KK.





Original Senators (1901-60, relo%26#039;d to Minnesota)

1905-54: http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?id=9...


1955-60: http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?id=9...





Second Senators (1961-71, relo%26#039;d to Texas): http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?id=7...





Washington Nationals (2005-present): http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?id=5...





The curly-cue W on the cap is very similar between the second Senators and the current Nationals.|||Washington Senators.|||The cap you are talking about ins the Original logo of the Nationals before they were known as the Senators.
