Honourable Mention #1 – The “Screaming Eagle” White Jerseys

These ones were a little better than the blue ones that said “Capitals” in the stripe for some odd reason. Plus, Alex Ovechkin scored a decent goal in these ones so they have a bit of history in them.

Honourable Mention #2 – The Reebok Premier Home Jersey

It was tough to decide between the Reebok home jerseys and the Adidas home jerseys to make the list (spoiler alert). When I think of the Capitals, I tend to think of these jerseys, where the white on the inside of the arms descended into the navy blue piping as opposed to being rectangular like on the Adidas ones. These jerseys represent the modern Washington Capitals that have been one of the winningest teams in hockey since their debut.

Honourable Mention #3 – The Capitol Building Jersey

I definitely have a soft spot for a nice, black jersey. Although I do not think these are fantastic jerseys, I think there is something redeeming about them. It is most definitely not the font or the bronze colour Washington decided they wanted on their pro teams’ jerseys for some God-forsaken reason, but I think they did a decent job with those poor factors they had to work with.
