Since the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in June, fans have been clamoring to get their hands on all sorts of Stanley Cup regalia.
But now, it’s time to get buckets. And I’m not talking about the baseball cap kind.
RMNB reader Jen Schimmenti sent us this photo of Stanley Cup logo emblazoned paint buckets from a Home Depot on Little River Turnpike in Annandale, VA. Capitals Outsider first reported the existence of the merch.
The bucket, a five gallon Leaktite model #64306118, is an “an excellent way to show off your team spirit,” according to Home Depot’s website.
Some deets on the bucket:
- The buckets cost $7.48 a pop.
- It has a maximum capacity of 20 quarts of liquid.
- It is not made for food.
Fans have started using #CupBucket on Twitter to signal the buckets are made for very good boys and girls.

The buckets are available around the greater DMV area, and on Home Depot’s website, you’re able to punch in your home zip code and find out which stores have the buckets in stock.
