HawksFanInDC Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Despite claiming to the contrary in the past, the Capitals will indeed be wearing their Winter Classic jerseys as alternate jerseys this year. Below is the link and games they will be used. I have an authentic Winter Classic and love the jersey, I only wish they did it like the Blackhawks did the past couple years and wore them at home and on the road, me thinks they take the "rock the red" campaign a little to seriously. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capitals-insider/post/capitals-will-wear-third-jerseys-for-16-road-games-in-2011-12-nhl-season/2011/09/16/gIQAbWYEXK_blog.html Story: The Capitals will wear third jerseys, modeled after the sweaters the team wore in the 2011 Winter Classic, for 16 road games during the 2011-12 NHL season. Saturday, Nov. 26 at Buffalo Friday, Dec. 23 at New Jersey Wednesday, Jan. 18 at Montreal Friday, Jan 20 at Carolina Sunday, Jan 22 at Pittsburgh Saturday, Feb. 4 at Montreal Sunday, Feb. 12 at New York Rangers Monday, Feb. 20 at Carolina Saturday, Feb. 25 at Toronto Saturday, March 10 at Boston Friday, March 16 at Winnipeg Sunday, March 18 at Chicago Monday, March 19 at Detroit Thursday, March 22 at Philadelphia Monday, Apr. 2 at Tampa Bay Saturday, Apr. 7 at New York Rangers Jerseys will go on sale at the Verizon Center team store beginning on Sept. 26 when the Capitals host their first preseason home game against Columbus.

HawksFanInDC Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I will be back in Chicago for the "St. Pats" Sunday game between the Caps and Hawks and am looking forward to seeing them rock them there. I checked the Capitals online store and right now they only have the premier available (it has the wordmark on the back). I emailed the team to try and find out when the authentics will be available for purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoxieMan Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 ok i know us caps fans have all complained about them not stitching the logo letters on the WC jersey individually like they used to, so check this out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-YOUTH-CAPITALS-8-OVECHKIN-WINTER-CLASSIC-JERSEY-M-/350420281248?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item5196ad27a0#ht_582wt_1110 On the youth WC Jerseys they were separate letters?! I'm sure they're just heat pressed but still! wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
