Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share where today we take a look at the Washington Capitals 2023 Stadium Series jersey.
For the first time in franchise history the Capitals were the road team for the Stadium Series as they traveled to Raleigh, NC to take on the Carolina Hurricanes, and with this first time road trip, the Caps decided to give their Weagle logo the main logo treatment for the first time since debuting in 2007 as part of the Caps rebrand back to the red, white, and blue.
For the jersey itself, the Caps decided to go with blowing up the logo so it covers as much of the front of the jersey as possible. With the white base the Caps did the two color tone to the Weagle as it would be dominant navy blue with white to give the logo its definition. The Caps would have some red on the jerseys, but just for the bottom of the jersey and the sleeves. Navy would also be on the sleeves, and in a semi-cool way connects with the Weagle’s wings which lets the wings go onto the sleeves a little bit.
Some minor details to note, but on the Weagle’s head there is very minimal stitch work as it allows the Weagle’s head and face have more of a pop to it, and is the only true patch to the entire front of the jersey which is sublimated. Also this is the second Caps jersey to feature laces under the collar, but unlike the 2015 Winter Classic jersey, the laces are not loose, and are made to look like the a representation of the DC flag. Lastly, in the collar it says “WASHINGTON” with the W being the Caps current third jersey logo as it has the three stars above it.
Overall, it’s an ok jersey. Not one of my favorites, and honestly I was hoping for something better, but it is what it is. Also, Adidas not adding the event patch is a bummer. Luckily you can buy it and have it added onto the jersey.
