Washington Capitals captain and three-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin has a new favorite shirt and — oh my god — it’s ours.
Tuesday night after the Capitals defeated the Colorado Avalanche 5-2, Ovechkin threw on RMNB’s We’re Not Going To Be Suck This Year tee, a design Cara Bahniuk made earlier in the season honoring Ovi’s aspirational preseason quote.

With last night’s emphatic victory, the Capitals moved into a two-way tie for first place in the Metropolitan Division standings.

After the game, Nastya Ovechkina took video of her husband decorating their home for the holidays.
And there it is.
Honestly, this photo from Nastya Ovechkina’s instagram gives me life #ALLCAPS pic.twitter.com/XqtbbbvnVS

WE’RE NOT FREAKING OUT OKAY.
(Okay, we’re freaking out.)
If you’d be interested in owning the shirt yourself or giving it as a gift for Christmas, you can purchase it in our Spreadshirt store.
If you already own the shirt, please shoot us a photo of yourself, in dramatic black and white, posing in it just like Ovi.
