Another patriotic jersey to throw into the mix. The Capitals wanted to embody the nation's colors in their design, creating the stars and stripes sweater provided above. The jersey is very appealing; the stars are positioned on the sleeves and near the neck region, the stripes encompass most of the edges while a simple logo of a small Washington resting on top of the large Capitals that has an uppercase L for a hockey stick. The shoulder pattern features contrast colors, so for the red jersey, that area is white and for the white jerseys it's red. Simple but effective if you ask me.
My final thoughts: I think this jersey is great. The Capitals haven't always had a whole lot of success, especially during the era when they wore these jerseys. I'm glad they brought them back for their Winter Classic matchup against Pittsburgh in 2011.
