Outsider question on the Caps uniform

[tjung0831]

Seems like every time I catch a Caps game on the road here lately they are wearing their classic jersey. Do they have plans to go back to that jersey? I was always a big fan of those jerseys. Anyway any info is appreciated.

As far as I know they reintroduced it in the Winter Classic and now they use them as thirds with no plans of making them an "official" away jersey.

Thanks for the reply

Those show up a lot for special occasions, like with most teams. Mostly games on NBC which is why out of market hockey fans might notice them more.

Wish they'd go all out with the classic uniforms with those being their default aways and the classic red ones being the home.

I can't stand the current uniforms. Modern and boring isn't a good mix. You either need to be modern and interesting or classic and boring.

I really like the home one, love the shoulder patches and the shade of red used, the away one, im not sure about though.

the caps appear to wear the winter classic jersey around winter classic time. before and after. if they select that sweater for a given game that is part of a multi game road trip, they just wear that as they wont carry two sets of unis.

as that is a road uni and they have never worn it at home, I'd guess its very likely that they will play their home winter classic game in a red version of that sweater. that will allow them to use the red one at home for a couple of years while selling both at retail.

In a few years they may switch over, or at least wear them far more regularly. Obviously the classic red home jersey will be coming next year.

Personally the current jerseys are getting a little old for me, so I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I'm guessing changes won't happen until jersey sales really start to run dry in DC. Thanks Ted.

Currents are ok. I was glad to leave the Capitol black and diagnolly striped eagle behind. I am one of those who would like to see the Weagle as a primary. This is the best I've seen.
