    Brandi and Braden Holtby represented the Washington Capitals in this month’s Capital Pride Parade. The shirts they wore, which I guess we’re calling #RockTheRainbow, were a hit even before the crushing sadness of the following day’s news. Everybody wanted one, but only a select few Caps org folks actually had the privilege.

    That changes now.

    Responding to public demand, the Caps have announced they will sell the rainbow Capitals shirt in a fundraiser to benefit You Can Play.

    You can preorder a Rock the Rainbow shirt right now. They’ll also be available at the team store at Kettler at the end of the month.

    This is an A1 move from an A1 organization. Good work, crew. High fives all around.

    From the team:

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 21, 2016
