In 1974, the National Hockey League was introduced to two new hockey teams that would take the ice for the first time during the 1974-1975 season.

These teams were the Kansas City Scouts, and the Washington Capitals. Fast forward 46 years, and only one of these teams are still actually playing in the NHL.

The Kansas City Scouts, however, relocated to Denver to become the Colorado Rockies, and then relocated again to New Jersey to become the Devils.

The Capitals have been playing out of Washington D.C. for the past 46(ish) years, and in that time they have worn a lot of sweaters to represent the capital of the United States.

I intend to rank the top 5 jerseys the Capitals have ever worn. Full disclosure: This list is 100% my personal opinion. I was not really around for the Capitals when they wore their “screaming eagle” jerseys so, naturally, they do not hold as much sentimental value to me. With that being said, let’s get into the honourable mentions.
