lafountain Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 So I'm thinking of getting an Black Ovie jersey....should I get his jersey with or without the A? Ultimately the decision is yours to make, but me personally I would get the A. Since next year the Caps are changing uniforms, might as well get the black the last way he wore it.

DesertRat Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Ironically, I just purchased an Capitals "A" off ebay for mine. This is the last season that the jersey will be worn and since he wore the alternate captain's A as the picture shows, more stuff on the jersey will look sharp.

LordStanley1893 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'd get the A. I was debating for Gaborik but he only wore the A in pre-season from the photos I saw that's not really an NHL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 In my opinion, patches (even captaincy patches) make a good jersey look great. And since not many people outside of the DC area like the black jersey of the Caps, might as well go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'd get the A. I was debating for Gaborik but he only wore the A in pre-season from the photos I saw that's not really an NHL game. Gaborik did wear the "A" near the end of the 05-06 season and I bought an "A" for my alt jersey then. This year was preseason only. The Ovechkin for me would depend on when he wore the "A". I usually use any excuse to add a letter or a patch to a jersey and if he wore the "A" his rookie year, I wouldn't hesitate to get it. If he only wore it his second year, then I'd have to think about it a bit. See, if he did not wear it the first season, and you leave it off, you can say it's "his Calder Cup Winner jersey". Another option, and this is what I would personally do, is leave the "A" off of it and add a "NHL Cares/Katrina" patch to it. This patch was worn during the first period of his first ever NHL game on Oct. 10, 2005, when he scored two goals in a Capitals win. Game recap You can not only say it's from "his Calder Cup Winning season" but that it's "his NHL debut jersey". Cool, huh? That would give you a patched jersey you could say was from a significant, specific date from his rookie season, and those patches have been showing up on ebay the last few weeks for $20.

Mach_9 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I just added an "A" to my own black Capitals authentic Ovie jersey. Looks pretty sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandy_man Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 alrighty...I went with the A like some of you guys said...I was really wondering if I should go for more of the "Rookie Season" look or just the Sophmore look. Then I decided..well If I really hate it I could get it removed and if I liked it, It wouldn't cost me any extra. Got a good deal on the jersey too....222 canadian delivered.

shandy_man Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Question in regards to the Katrina patches...is it actually possible to obtain those? I thought those were only for the actual players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
