The W crest logo features the top of the Washington monument illustrated in its middle ascender while the three red stars above the W represent Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia.
The Capitals wore the sweater 13 times during the 2021-22 season. During several of the games, the Caps did not have some of their best performances leaving many fans to naturally conclude they are cursed. (See the comments of the below IG.)
The Capitals are already locked in to wearing their red home and white away sweaters. The team will also have a new Reverse Retro 2.0 design, which is believed to be black and feature the Screaming Eagle logo, and a potential unique Stadium Series design for their February 2023 game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The RR 2.0 jersey design will be released soon.
Here’s the full press release from the Capitals:
Blue W Third Jersey to Be Worn for 10 Home Dates During 2022-23 Season
Arlington, Va. – The Washington Capitals will wear their third jersey, modeled after the team’s 2018 NHL Stadium Series jersey, for 10 home dates during the 2022-23 season.
The jersey debuted during the 2020-21 season. The large W on the front of the jersey serves as a tribute to Washington, D.C., with the Washington monument structure peaking in the middle of the W. The “W” stands alone as a Capital Letter to symbolize the strength of the nation’s Capital. The color scheme is aligned with the United States of America’s flag; with each color also representing attributes displayed by Capitals fans: red stands for dedication, white represents loyalty and blue honors community. The Three Stars represent Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.
