The Jersey History of the Washington Capitals

[@stephentruman382]

The stadium Series jersey was a wasted opportunity to have the weagle on the front of the jerseys. I would love see the blue screaming eagle as a third.

[@Ari-vl5pd]

congrats, your wish (mostly) came true

[@billsmafia3879]

Let’s go capsssssss, 1st in da leage

[@kamalporter706]

Finally does my Caps ❤

[@danah1778]

At least your not a wild fan I swear he hates us

[@vastyandrews2631]

That screaming eagle jersey/logo is absolutely amazing.

[@HTTR202]

That white screaming eagle one is incredible

[@KevinBYee]

Agreed, if we were going to bring back an older jersey as an alternate it should be the screaming eagle.

[@matthewqualiotto4578]

As a pens fan I honestly think the caps have one of the best jersey histories

[@nollieflipcrook]

As a Caps fan I think the Pens have one of the best jersey histories

[@youandme9569]

I like Pens unis too especially Mario and Jagr era yellow ones . For some reason Ive always hated it whenever Pens deviate from their traditional yellow colors even though I don’t support the team.

[@subraxas]

Senators got their Sens jersey. Capitals got their Caps jersey. Lightning got their Bolts jersey. So now it is up to the Penguins to finally release their PENS jersey. :-)

[@matthewqualiotto4578]

Noooooooo!!!!!!!

[@subraxas]

@@matthewqualiotto4578 :-D :-P

[@ronfroehlich4697]

No

[@Scoots_McGee]

None of those jerseys were good looking though lol except maybe the bolts one, but that's not what the team is called (I know it's shorthand for lightning) but at least the design was nice. As a Sens fan I can personally tell you that the SENS jersey is reviled, nobody likes that jersey, hate the lettermark, hate the striping, it's not a good jersey design for any team to go with, stick with logos or full names with nice font

[@subraxas]

@@Scoots_McGee Oh, yeah, and I forgot that Carolina has also already released their Canes jersey. Also, what about Montreal, Colorado and Nashville? Where are their HABS, AVS and PREDS jerseys? :-D :-D :-P

[@TimfromMKE]

The one with the Capital building is the best looking

[@vinceniederman]

As a Flyers Fan I Like The Screaming Eagle Logo A lot!

[@ColonizerChan]

Just a tidbit on maybe why 3 Stars. Look at the flag of Washington DC, it too has 3 stars in that pattern. You probably already knew this, but I think it should still be noted

[@motsumilioness]

The three stars are for DC, Maryland and Virginia.

[@tylerpons5887]

You’re right

[@ColonizerChan]

Gina M Huh, that’s neat. Thank.

[@donnyhunt6370]

Glad to see some love for the Screaming Eagle. I especially loved the shade of blue and the metallic gold/copper color. Not enough NHL teams use metallic colors.

[@ronfroehlich4697]

Original Caps jerseys are my favorite. Old school outdoor jersey has a lot of class and I always liked the blue screaming eagle.

[@bradvitz2531]

I love your content and I generally agree with your taste in Jerseys but I think the stadium jersey is clean.

[@j.nicolosi6647]

I gave a like as soon as you mentioned “THERE...ARE...FOUR...LIGHTS!”

[@Rthomp02]

Love the all blue screaming eagle! My favorite caps jersey!

[@evann-t2915]

I only realized this about a month ago, so I don’t know that many people know this, but the bottom of the Caps’ current secondary logo is an outline of the capitol building

[@BrettHornby]

Would say the best Washington Capitals jerseys have to be the current ones. Screaming eagle was alright for the time but you'd think the reason why they went back to the original look because it's the better one. Black third was nice during the screaming eagle era. That caps blue is a fail.

[@Simon-tc1mc]

Thanks for doing this series. It's been really interesting

[@kennycai8695]

The Capitals blue jersey will always have a special place in my heart. 98 was the year when I first got into hockey, and those were their colors during those years (and I also have a bias for blue, being my personal favorite color).

[@Parkerk234]

Caps, pens and rangers have the best jersey history

[@matthewqualiotto4578]

Ben: I want money for the ovi jersey Shannon: you drive a hard bargain sir but deal

[@exeter1985]

Love the Hershey Bears jersey! You can eat a Hershey Chocolate Bar and get it all over your jersey, and nobody will ever know.

[@lifeofaustin1062]

I hate those original jerseys so much, keep them in the 80's but love almost every other Capitals jersey

[@nollieflipcrook]

The original jerseys are my favorite by far

[@DARK24-7]

The loud awful jerseys they had in the 80's were my fave!

[@Peter-tm4sx]

5:08 100% agreed. As a die hard caps fan I wish they would just take off the word capitals from the middle because I think it looks boring. I really love the eagle and it would be awesome to be in the center! Thanks Shannon

[@harveyknox]

Big difference (and a jersey you don't have) is that the original Capitals jersey's had individual letter stitching. So each letter of Capitals had its own stitching instead of just a patch. They're very rare and difficult to find now, as E-Bay has them from time to time for big bucks.

[@barkofsky11]

The original Caps jerseys make me think of Evel Knievel. All those stars! I think the current wordmark is a nice update to the original, and agree that the eagle/W/capitol shoulder logo should become the front logo on a third jersey. And maybe, eventually, the primary logo with the current wordmark made into a third.

[@youandme9569]

As caps fan, that last stadium series Jersey is my favorite . The rebranded white throwback is my second favorite . And the one with big W is my third favorite . So yea there you have it

[@matttalksbeer1474]

i also love the caps with the giant red stripe and the three white stars

[@LM-ht7ez]

Totally agree that shoulder Weagle should be the front logo

[@dr3putt62]

The three stars are for the region of fans.....MD DC VA

[@ghmongo]

The three stars are also a nod to the DC flag.

[@danseedorf4168]

The three stars are from the Washington cost of arms and are used on the DC flag.

[@danseedorf4168]

Coat of arms.

[@DavidLawsonTalksOnstage]

Yes! One of my favorite parts of the Caps current logo is that it reps DC and Maryland and Virginia: www.nbcsports.com/washington/capitals/ever-wonder-why-capitals-jerseys-have-three-stars-them

[@skrilla-talk9716]

Great video 💯🔋

[@Zayloxithe]

i miss the screaming eagles jerseys as well as the capital building jersey. i don't care for the (essentially) word mark logo jerseys they use now. their secondary logo should be the one they use on the front of the jersey, use the word mark logo as the shoulder patch. that winter classic "W" jersey kinda just reminds me of what you'd see a college/university team using as a jersey

[@ssmith87]

Caps originals were the best design, current design is so plain almost like a practice jersey. Best logo is the current shoulder patch, I liked the capital building too.

[@danseedorf4168]

I’ve always been a fan of the screaming eagle logo. The current secondary logo or weagle would be great as a primary logo on a third jersey.

[@andrewburney8075]

The rebranded Jersey's with the blue black and copper were their best

[@justindestafney]

I completely agree about the screaming eagle/capitol building jerseys

[@donaldboomhower173]

Loved the eagle n blue colour

[@donaldboomhower173]

Thanks for the videos!! Great work!!

[@EV_Clutch]

Love my Capitals and almost all of their jerseys!!

[@emilioukip1217]

Intrested to see your all star collection

[@frankiegaliffa3850]

Had a Bondra black and the eagle white when I was a kid

[@alibahrami4119]

I just read an article that said the Caps are the most winningest regular season team since 1983.

[@matthewqualiotto4578]

And yet they only have one cup that was a fluke

[@alibahrami4119]

Matthew Qualiotto fluke? 😂 they dominated that series and won in 5 games but keep hating.

[@matthewqualiotto4578]

@@alibahrami4119 they would've lost to the Penguins but Sullivan refused to adapt to there style of play and they would've lost to the blue jackets or the lighting if they hadn't choked

[@romanborris7919]

Matthew Qualiotto dude do you know how many times the caps should have beaten the rangers and the pens but didn’t?? And even other teams, Montreal?? Carolina?? Caps choked away too many good opportunities.

[@alibahrami4119]

Matthew Qualiotto lmao doesn’t change the fact that they all lost to them.

[@jreiland07]

Really hope the Caps don’t rebrand again after Ovi retires, their current jerseys will always be associated with the best (so far) era of Caps hockey and that’s what’s needed for a team to establish an identity.

[@nollieflipcrook]

The main difference between the original Caps jerseys, and the ones they wear now is the blue is darker in their current jerseys. I think the original colors are way better

[@brosciencegutfeelings7058]

How do you put the patches on your jerseys w/o burning/melting? Sew or iron ? I’d love to put Stanley Cup patch on my red Ovechkin Jersey...

[@WindyCityHawkey]

I feel the Caps should honestly go back to to their original look. But I still want to see a jersey for the Caps with their shoulder logo on the front of the jersey.

[@h2ofield]

Would have liked to see ya in an old school Lethbridge Hurricanes jersey! By the way, I can see you being hired on as a consultant for a major company jersey deal. Who the hell else knows more about these things and what works?

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

I know it’s a few years later, but I hope the Penguins (or one of their rivals) does an exact opposite jersey that just says LOWERCASE to counter the caps jersey. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bryansimmonshayes]

Idk how you think that first red jersey is similar to what they wear now, completely different designs. Shoulders are different, arms have that pinstripe thing instead of stars, and the bottom stripe is different. Only similarity is the color and the text logo on the front.

[@nollieflipcrook]

The blue is darker on the new ones too

[@craigdickens4148]

Hershey Chocolate Bears 😂

[@jackfoster9008]

Good way to tell the difference between throwback and regular reds is that they wear red helmets with the throwback.

[@OaksArm]

I remember being pretty confused by the Caps and Bullets color change. “Why?” I thought.

[@owen-fs2cv]

The Black Caps Jersey is probably my favorite non-flyer jersey

[@sdeepj]

The star difference between the current jersey and their original jersey is big thing. The 3 stars on the current jersey is a reference to the DC flag.

[@nollieflipcrook]

And the blue is darker on the current jerseys. Why does nobody mention that? That’s the main difference

[@merz5050]

As a Caps fan, I really hope they will bring back the screaming eagle as their first jersey, I’m tired of this jersey and this logo.

[@Scoots_McGee]

The red jerseys are nice enough, the 70s throwback is awesome, and I was really a big fan of the screaming eagle/Capitol building jerseys

[@merz5050]

Nathan Brisebois yeah, I bought the throwback jersey last month haha I really like it!

[@1bert719]

The stadium Jersey has a wonder woman vibe. The screaming eagle is still a great look.

[@BrodieBr0]

I'm not a fan of the caps but must say I've loved most of their jersey choices.

[@djgatorshark9002]

Black Capitol jersey was their best jersey.

[@thestifmyster1]

Bring back the screaming eagle.

[@williebrown7984]

I do love the stadium series blue jersey.

[@treerat7631]

I always liked the blue Jersey with the eagle

[@matttalksbeer1474]

as soon as i have a stable job again i'm gonna get me a screaming eagle jersey and the one with the capital building

[@johnnymack8442]

The first jersey was the nicest one

[@dr3putt62]

Yeahhhhhhhhh. I have been all week what a way to spend A Sunday afternoon.

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

Not bad looking jersey in the bunch. Besides maybe the pj looking CAPS jersey.

[@Mph-ut4bs]

Are you going to show your all star jerseys too?

[@Just_Phil_]

The screaming eagle Jersey's are my favourite.

[@BuzzMan304]

There... are... FOUR LIGHTS!!

[@samuelmccollam9999]

You’d be surprised how many people wear the new stadium jersey at games

[@tehsin13]

4:15 This jersey was voted as best by Instagram fans.

[@samrobi7493]

Could you do a video of gary the badman of What he did well for league and not

[@mcdaviddeservesbetter8]

You can’t have a good jersey without a logo. Until such time that the Capitals decide to use a logo on the front of their jersey, they’ll have 31st best uniform. Soon to be 32nd.

[@TheHockeyGuy]

The Rangers say hi.

[@romanborris7919]

Love the modern jerseys, just wish they did a bit more with the Weagle. The modern jerseys are good because of the Weagle on the shoulders. If they go with the throwback as their jersey, it must include the Weagle somewhere.

[@ghmongo]

For whatever reason, there's a subset of very vocal Caps fans who don't want to see the Weagle on the front of the jerseys.

[@Tommy-lv3ot]

ALLCAPS

[@kevinfunk83]

Everyone seems to have the Stadium series jersey and I hate it!

[@treerat7631]

They need too bring back the sercming eagle

The caps need a serious redesign. I don't like their current home and away. They have had way better jerseys throughout their history

[@dr3putt62]

Ohh the cap dome from ‘02... Love it

[@nates9029]

It is funny because that is the one Caps jersey I never liked. I bought that jersey with Peter Bondra on it and gave it away to a friend of mine because her son wanted a Caps jersey and they couldn't afford one so I gave him that one. I felt a little bad because it was the one Caps jersey I didn't like but Bondra was my favorite player at the time. I even LOVE the Caps Stadium Series jersey. As soon as I saw it I bought it. I think it is great.
