NHL.com takes a look at another Washington claim to fame, White Pants.
The 1970s were a time of leisure suits, plaid patterns, various neck chains and for one hockey team, an unusual fashion statement … white pants.
In the 1974-75 season, the original Washington Capitals home uniforms featured a red, white and blue jersey and white hockey pants. It was the only time in NHL history that players wore white pants as part of a home uniform.

White pants aside, we need to have the vintage sweaters back for a few games a year, like they are doing in Van.
I’d love to see Ovechkin wear the stars and stripes.
Anyone know where I could get a vintage Ovechkin made? With the authentic old lettering? And I don’t mean buying a new “vintage” jersey with the logo as a patch. I hate that.
