They don't want scrums where ten people all have black helmets. The Avs tried to wear black helmets full-time their first week or so and were made to wear white at home. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll finally see the weagle on the front of a jersey. Finally! It only took management 16 years to give the fans what they want! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the notable exception of the sock stripes, which match nothing and don't even have silver. The Coyotes reverted exactly back to the Kachina set and didn't correct that same flaw with their socks and it bothers me to no end. We have the technology, give me the hurricane flag stripes on the socks! Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_Roby Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Merry Christmas! I pulled a higher resolution version of the Senators' 30th anniversary logo in bloack - haven't really seen this one get used much, so sticking it here for posterity in case it never shows up again before the season's over (which, if you're a Senators fan like me... is already over! lol!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I know they're going for "Ott" but my first thought was they misspelled "30th." 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll become at least a full time alternate in the future, but I wouldn't mind a rebrand based around this again 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopewellJones Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Add me to the list of people who want the Capitals to return to black/blue/bronze. It looks so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so much better. And it feels more unique. No other teams in the league has these colors. As their current color scheme is just a reverse of the Blue Jackets, with red more predominant instead of navy blue. Count me in as well in that list. I wouldn't care the 90's throwback with this one as an alternate or the other way around. But i feel like they'll go with the We won a cup in that look road and keep their current look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The Capitals have had 15 years to do something interesting with the red and navy look, but have failed to come up with anything of value. I firmly believe they haven't had a single good jersey during that timeframe until the two Reverse Retro jerseys. They've sat around and done nothing with the red and navy identity (the identity itself, not on-ice success) and now they should run with the black, bronze, and blue look. Put an eagle logo on the front of the home and road sweaters, wear a red throwback with the Capitals lettering, and move forward. 10 Quote https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I doubt the Caps ever go away from red and navy. The hockey culture in DC is very much "Rock the Red"...it's been a ubiquitous theme around the arena for the last 15 years. If they ever do change home and aways, I think it would likely be around the RR 1.0 look. 2 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

The Caps were, for the most part, an irrelevant franchise before the switch back to blue & red. I wouldn’t be opposed to updated uniforms, but I wouldn’t want to see them ditch the colours or logos. The Caps’ black/bronze/blue is similar to the Kings purple/gold. Fine to be used as a regular throwback, but shouldn’t be brought back full time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniformity Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The Caps need to use the screaming eagle logo. The word mark and weagle are bland and pretty original. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree the word mark is bland and the weagle is not great, I just don't understand the love for the worst of their logos. That screaming eagle logos looks like some kid in grade school made it, and not one of the talented kids. So I do agree Washington needs a change, but something better than a bad grade school's kid attempt at an eagle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to nitpick but I think these jerseys were pretty sweet. Otherwise, I 100% agree with you. Outside of this one jersey, the Capitals haven't looked good since 2006. 2 1 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is evident by the fact that it was the fastest selling RR two years in a row. It is easily their best logo and would be a top NHL logo regardless of how bad their other logos are. The weagle is static and wide. The screaming eagle moves and looks like it's flying. That's why I like the logo. It doesn't need to be clever or realistic. Abstract is completely acceptable for a logo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abstract is completely acceptable for a logo. Just because something sells, does not make it good. People bought the Bufflo-slug and that was bad. The screaming eagle is on the level of the Buffalo-slug bad. Logos don't need to be moving and dynamic to be good. Look at Chicago, New Jersey, Vegas, and Seattle for good logos. Washington has just always had bad logos. If you want to compare 90's bird looks, then look at the Robo Penguin. It's sleak, simple and just looks good. The screaming eagle looks like a steamroller ran over it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screaming eagle looks like a steamroller ran over it. If the Buffaslug came back to the ice, everyone would complain. No one’s really complained about the Screagle. The Screagle is pretty popular. It sells well time and time again. It’s not really close to being as bad as the slug…it’s not some amorphous blob. Think of it like Boston’s meth bear...a wildly popular logo that is uniquely associated with a team although it may not be the most technically sound logo. This is a league whose fans love spaghetti skates and igloos. 3 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
