I know im gonna get some hate for this thread, but im so tired of our primary Jerseys and really think its time to reamp things up. We have had the same uniforms since 2007 and the only thing they tweaked are the socks, but i honestly think the socks before looked fresher with the top part of sock being blue. Anyways i know we had the stadium jerseys recently with the weagle which i really love and thought it was a fun looking. I know we have alternate third jerseys but i think the "w" logo and the pattern stripes look is so boring and terrible looking lol. Ovechkin has voiced his opinion that the screaming eagle and dome jerseys are his favorite so i dont understand why ted doesnt go back to those logos for ovies last few years, but in a update color scheme with red white and blue. Ive been a life long caps fan since i grew up in the dmv and i think the capitals word mark logo is the worse logo in the nhl. We could honestly have the best logos if we went back to the old ones. What do yall think about doing the capital dome jersey but in white with red and blue stripes away and then we use reverse retro red uniforms as our home. We would have the prettiest uniforms and logos in the nhl. Right now we have the most boring logo. Honestly the wordmark letters arent even all capitals letter which is crazy lmao. Wizards just revealed some jerseys and kings/ducks getting new logo inspired me to write this post. Also think it would've been cool for 50 year anniversary jerseys, but seems like ted doesnt care and just want to keep things everything the same š„± Anyone feel the same or nobody cares what we look like?

Personally I think the dome is the worst jersey they ever had. It was novel when every team had to have a black jersey in the 90s, but the logo now feels extremely dated. That font is just not great for a modern sports jersey and their need to put a wordmark (or multiple wordmarks) on every single jersey throughout the teamās history is frustrating. The stadium series Weagle was the first time they didnāt have some sort of text on a jersey, though even the bird is shaped like a W. Iām find with some variation of the screaming Eagle, but it doesnāt need to say ācapitalsā on it- we know who they are. Thereās a reason they took it off the original eventually.
Is it this year we should be getting a new third jersey? Iām praying that we donāt have to see that ugly w sweater ever again
I agree we need a change but the dome is not it. I feel like the Weagle would be the natural choice for our next set but I wouldn’t be mad with the retro eagle either. If they were to introduce new sweaters anytime soon it would probably be in ’25-’26 so they could sell new sets of Ovi jerseys before his contract expires.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I really love the dome logo. I’d like to see it return.
Those whites are awful
