0675: Capital Blue

It would be nice to see the Capitals back in blue someday — even if only as a third jersey. This one by Tristan Mani would be a brilliant way to go if you ask me.

The Columbus Blue Capitals?

It's a really pretty jersey but it reminds me way too much of the Columbus Blue Jackets. They've done the stars along the sleeves on their first alternate jersey, and the colors and striping are like a mash of the ones from that jersey and the current home jersey, minus the waist and arms.

Too much like Columbus but, it does look very nice.

Only thing I'd change is put the Weagle on the front, besides that its a great jersey

Looks good. I think it would be even better with the eagle logo on the chest.

Looks very Blue Jacket-esque. I kinda like it though.

If there's anything that's extremely mandatory in the NHL, I say it's a Caps blue alternate. I think it would be good to have it a colorswap so you have three similar jerseys in a set, but this looks cool, too. Reminiscent of Columbus, though.

this could be used in next years winter classic....Capitals (again) Vs Flyers (again) to be held in washington apparently.

It is a great idea, which is probably why Columbus has been using it. I like the idea of a blue Capitals jersey, but it really needs to be something for the Capitals, not something similar to another team.
