The Washington Capitals made headlines in June 2018 not only for winning their first-ever Stanley Cup, but for the amount of partying that came afterward. Said partying also included a dip in a Georgetown fountain.
The Washington Nationals are now also champions, clinching their first-ever World Series title on Wednesday night. The Caps showed their joy by hinting that the Nats should take a little dip of their own.
So we’ve created a new shirt that would be perfect to wear for such an occasion.

The Washington Nationals will continue to the Washington Capitals’ championship tradition of swimming in fountains, according to right fielder Adam Eaton.
Wednesday, after the Nationals won the World Series, TJ Oshie posted a map with various locations of fountains in Washington DC.
At some point soon, the Capitals anniversary posts will stop, but today is not that day.
On this very nice day of 6/9, we are celebrating the anniversary of when Capitals players visited Nationals Park, made bad decisions in Georgetown, and became legends.
It’s the one-year anniversary of fountain day.
The Washington Capitals visited the White House to celebrate their 2018 Stanley Cup championship with President Donald Trump on Monday. The trip came more than nine months after the team first raised the NHL’s championship trophy in Las Vegas.
Ahead of their game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tom Wilson was asked whether visiting the White House was a distraction this late in the season.
He had this to say.

The greatest moment of Alex Ovechkin’s career happened on June 7, 2018, when the Russian machine lifted the Stanley Cup for the first time. But Ovechkin’s championship win may be best remembered for the epic celebrations that followed.
Ovechkin invented the Cup stand, slept with the Stanley Cup, and swam shirtless in the shallow waters of the Georgetown Waterfront.
The epic and ridiculous fountain celebration will forever be a part of DC hockey lore. Monday night, at The Theater at MGM National Harbor, Ovechkin discussed how the swim came about along with Tom Wilson and Lars Eller in at a private event hosted by Fanatics.

The Washington Capitals continued to accomplish the impossible on Saturday afternoon. After winning the Stanley Cup Thursday night, the Caps have partied in a hotel lobby, a Las Vegas nightclub, a charter flight, a Clarendon bar, Nationals Park, and now the Georgetown Waterfront. They even jumped in the freaking fountain.
This party has been going on for nearly 48 hours and shows no sign of the slowing down. This is not a desert mirage.
