Weagle | RMNB

Capitals players were asked to draw the Weagle logo. Their drawings went horribly wrong.

Before the season began, the Capitals were challenged to draw the Weagle logo during Media Day.

While in their full gear, players such as Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and Andre Burakovsky, were given a marker and tried to recreate the team’s shoulder patch from memory on a whiteboard.

Despite the fact that the players are exposed to the logo multiple times a day and it was literally on the gear they were wearing, the results were terrible. Maybe even concerning.

eBay User Auctions Caps Prototype Jersey From 2005 Which Includes Early Version of Weagle Logo

Photo: Icethetics

On June 22, 2007, Ted Leonsis unveiled new uniforms for the Washington Capitals. The team dumped their five-starred eagle and Capitol Dome logos and returned to their original red, white, and blue color scheme.

During that faithful day, the team also unveiled two new marks, including a secondary logo which would be nicknamed by Capitals fans as the Weagle (an eagle that had a W shape with a subtractive silhouette of the Capitol Dome on the bottom).

On Thursday night, Icethetics noticed an interesting jersey up for auction on eBay. The user manonthemoon12345 described the sweater as a “rare authentic” Washington Capitals prototype jersey. On the tag, it’s dated November 16, 2005 and there is a note that this is a second of six versions of the jersey.
