[Islands]

I like the jerseys.

I don't hate them, but I've never liked the primary logo.

There are too many stripes, though.

good news: I'm going to save money not buying a new jersey.

Not a big fan of the WC jerseys... gonna save me like 200 bucks now

Love the color, hate the faux-retro. If you're going to go with a "retro" look, actually have it be a throwback. Don't invent an old-looking jersey that never existed. That's just stupid. We aren't an original six team, don't try to pretend to be one.


Also, Ovie's pants and sandles.

I like them. Reminds me of the Michigan throwbacks:

Would of been better if they left Capitals off the front and just went with the W

i think the jerseys look great. helps when u look at a picture that doesnt have the background the same color as the jersey

Yes, no white after Labor Day, but its still flip flop weather.

What about those of us who are in Europe? Granted I know they will be on hockeystreams so it's not that much of an issue

They were basically these breakaway pants.

Looks like I'm in the minority, but I like them.

Very glad the just didn't remake an old one.

 

[usiel]

I don't mind them. Dig the color and the shoulder stripes. Gotten used to the front part a bit though probably the weakest part. I'm considering picking one up.

 

[KevinM]

Looks kinda like a melted candy cane, they're pretty bad.

 

[um]

i like the jersey a lot. the stars, the stripes, the color scheme, the laces, and so on. unfortunately the main logo is kind of ugly, the Washington monument? or whatever it's called (i'm Canadian) makes the W look kind of awkward but that's my only complaint.

 

[Hivemind]

Stripes are fine. That many stripes is simply too much. The socks are particularly bad.

I think it's a decent jersey if they take away some of the stripes from the socks and all the stripes from the shoulders

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Apparently an actual Q&A with reporters


"Ovi, are you wearing baseball pants?"
"Uh, yeah. We're on a baseball field."


LOL this guy

 

[EroCaps]

Yeah those are hideous. In concept and execution. I grew to like the new red jerseys though, so we'll see.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

Fine with them. Wish there were less stripes on shoulders though.

 

[LifetimeUFA]

Love the jerseys, nice to see them get creative and not go with what everyone thought they would have gone with (red version of '11 WC)

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Thanks jersey designers. Money not spent = money saved.

Ding, ding, ding...

 

[hfman]

these jerseys make the players look like walking candycanes


terrible


if they got rid of the shoulder stripes and simplified that part, then these might actually work


way, way too many stripes, it's just too "busy"

 

[Coldplay619]

Ding, ding, ding...

They kind of did by combining old jersey traits.
