OT: Your Caps Collection, now with more Lord Stanley & Reverse Retro (all-purpose jersey, memorabilia, clothing, etc discussion thread)

[CapitalsCupReality]

Don’t love it, but pants and glove colors could save it or sink it.

I’m told the “secrecy and delay” was because Adidas couldn’t meet the Caps production order for retail earlier. Guess they worked it out finally.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Very glad they didn’t use white pants or gloves. These look pretty good for a Stadium Series jersey.

Hmmm better, but kinda ugly pants….

Is it weird that this is the best looking part to me lol?

 

[g00n]

Doesn't look as plain here. Wait to see how it looks on the ice in a stadium

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

I think the Caps spend more on jersey development than player development. SMH

It doesn’t show lol….

Better than this.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Very nice jerseys, IMO. Assume the pants are blue…..but red may look really good

Edit — read in WaPo that the pants are blue. I think they might have missed an opportunity there, but I still really like the jersey!

Looks like only blank authentics are available for purchase. You can't even get them customized with a player name/number through the website. Gonna have to pass on these.

 

[Corby78]

How did they get the logo and colors right and still screw it

 

[Calicaps]

Mother of God. That is a crime against humanity.

You guys have some strange expectations for these. As stadium series jerseys go they're really not that bad, and none of them are really ever classics or made to look like classics.

For being experimental in the template they actually pulled it off way better than I expected

 

[Ridley Simon]

As I said earlier, should’ve done red pants. That would’ve been hot as a disparate look to all the dark blue of the Weagle.

But they look good. Backs look good too, with big numbers are bold name plates.

Once they are customized, I’m all in. Hell, I would’ve been all in no matter what, but I do really like these

Leave the crazy experimental stuff to the ECHL. This is the big show. Now I will agree that it is more muted than a lot of crap the NHL has put out there for these games and I do appreciate that. But than they did get the blue W outdoor games right IMO, so it can be done.

I’ll also say this. I would take those over the awful black sweaters or anything with gold in it anyday.

Seems like I'm in the minority. I love them. Ordered a blank Authentic and will try to get it customized some time down the line.

Edit: Also, pretty funny that I like this jersey, but don't necessarily love the weagle logo normally.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Meh. This isn't the Weagle jersey I wanted.

It's one game (or let's say a handful if they use them again) and hockey fans are persnickety enough about only referencing or duplicating the past. I'm fine with using some meaningless stadium games as a sandbox to try new things

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I like them better as a gimmick jersey now that I’ve seen them with the full gear. I still think they could have done so much better with the Weagle. Saw these at one point on Twitter and thought they were sharp. I do understand though wanting to go simpler and oversized given the sight lines in a stadium versus an arena.

The design was made by (@)tylerduchaine on Twitter.

They look cheap to me. Like something one of those yahoos who kept posting uniform combos for the new football team name a couple years ago and the team actually used it.

 

[Hivemind]

I've wanted a Weagle jersey forever, but... this aint it.

The thing looks like a bad street wear hoodie. Wrap-around prints are dumb, and this isn't even a true wrap-around. The Weagle's wings just truncate under their arms where the two halves are stitched together.

0/10

Stadium series jersey is on sale at Capitol one arena.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

These are so clean.

If anyone is interested I have a size 50 Ovechkin RR jersey that’s brand new never worn, it was just too small for me so I got a size up, it’s the Adidas authentic one

Wish I could. But I need 56/58

I might actually. 50 is a medium right?

Yep, these run slightly smaller than normal for whatever reason.
