Caps fans who attended the team’s game at Capital One Arena Friday night had a special opportunity for a purchasing first. Two days after the team officially revealed its Stadium Series jersey designs, the Caps Team Store put the new sweaters up for sale.
Longtime reader and Caps fan Kate Jamison snatched up one of the outdoor game jerseys customized with Alex Ovechkin on the back. According to Jamison, the team only had about 20 Ovechkin and Backstrom Stadium Series jerseys up for sale, but a team store employee believed more players would be available by Sunday’s game.
