#1 The screaming eagle is back
The number one reason is the most obvious reason we love the reverse retro jersey. The screaming eagle is back. It was a part of me when I first started watching the Caps and I know I’m not the only one. The Caps retired the screaming eagle in 2007 which was originally on white and blue jerseys. The red one looks even better than their home ones or their third jerseys from the last two years (which were bad luck when you think about it).
The original screaming eagle debuted with a blue, white and bronze color scheme in the 1995-96 season and was the primary uniform they wore when they reached the Stanley Cup Final in 1998 before falling to the Detroit Red Wings in the middle of their dynasty.
Olie Kolzig talked about the Reverse Retro jersey with Scott Allen:
"“I think it’s a great combination. It combines the history of the franchise. I think it’s pretty sharp.”"
The Reverse Retro jerseys will be available in time for Christmas on Dec. 1. If you decide to shell out a lot of money to buy a Reverse Retro jersey, which player would you get? Let us know in the comments.
