0278: Spread Your Wings

It's Thanksgiving Day in the USA. So before you pound down the turkey, here's a look at a different bird. The Weagle. And I'm fairly certain that Brian Brideau has just designed the perfect Washington Capitals third jersey. It's blue and it hints at the original 1970s look with a row of stars and that shoulder yoke. Why don't we all just agree to be thankful when the Caps finally implement this design — as they should.

Now get off the Internet and go talk to your family!

Email it to the Capitals. Perfect third for Washington, don't you think?

Just wanted to point out that the hem stripe has a nod to the DC flag. Unless you already caught it.

Great design. It would be the best uniform in the league if implemented.

I don't give out 5 Stars normally, but this thing is gorgeous

I have always been the minority that has not wanted to see the weagle as a main crest, nor a blue jersey in the Capitals arsenal... But this concept changes my mind. I would love to see a home and away set based off of this (without the weagle of course). 5 stars though, props on this one.

Hope you all had a great thanksgiving day. I'm canadian so it was just a regular thursday... Wow, this jersey is gorgeous. It absolutely hits the mark dead on. I love the retro third the Caps wear but this is new and very very nice. Excellent work!!

It's probably the best concept I've ever seen posted here!
