In all seriousness, why the Capitals haven't moved on from their Reebok uniforms is beyond me. Sure, they won a Cup in them, but the design is just horrible. I can't find a single redeeming quality about their current uniforms.

The Capitals may have the worst uniforms in the Big 4 sports leagues right now. All the terrible 2000s NFL uniforms are gone and the Caps Rbk Edge uniforms stand alone

Ducks are pretty bad too.


As a fan of BOTH, I can at least see Washington going in a different direction very soon.  Anaheim, as we all know, have been rumoured for a change for years now and I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.  

As far as a team that REALLY needs a change, I'm going Columbus, Florida, and I'll say Winnipeg (in favour of the the 1990s look).

Now I'm going to divert back to the original topic...I think the last time a team in the NFL that wore an alternate was the Chargers in 2008.  I could be wrong.  Teams wearing alternates in the NHL is a very common practice though

Rams wore their white uniform in the the last Super Bowl they won which was their alternate that year. It became the primary away jersey the next season

It feels like Columbus and Winnipeg just need to swap colour schemes. They both have alternates that are essentially in the other team's colours that seem to be very popular with the fans. Let Winnipeg be the navy blue & red team, while the Jackets can be the two-tone blue & silver team.

By this point, wasn't the Columbia Blue promoted to primary and the navy blue was the alternate?

 

Correct, 2008 was the first season the Titans wore Columbia full time.

I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

Huh, didn't know that. I assumed it was an alternate because that's the only time they ever wore that jersey in the playoffs.
