Either way, the new digs represent a contemporary, albeit simple design, and that may be challenging for some hockey fans. I will miss neither the dome logo, nor the color scheme on the eagle jersey. I liked the original digs, but this is a refreshing update. The white is most pleasing to my eye, but I think red might best weather a night of pizza sauce and other shrapnel. We'll see how the $$$ shakes out. I agree with what J.P. wrote in his blog about the Caps needing to change their mantra to “We Build Excitement”.

Otherwise it is not bad. Not great either. Still don't plan on buying a jersey x hundred dollars anytime soon. Hate the Trans-Am eagle! Otherwise it is not bad. Not great either.

Here's hoping that becomes the rumored alternate jersey, 'cause that's the only one I'd buy. But I really hate the old Capitals jersey--I thought they were dully ugly, and the new font doesn't improve on the overall concept.

Other people seem to like it but its just awful. Truely awful. The rest of the jersey is decent. The W on the shoulder is the a horrible logo. Other people seem to like it but its just awful.

Seriously, though, this "new" Washington uni looks kinda retro, no? Takes us back about 15 years, I'd say?

Perhaps we'll see a blue "third" jersey in a few years (though that's just conjecture on my part). Also, I'm pretty sure the blue is indeed brighter in person (which we'll find out tonight) and just looks almost-black in the photo. Murshawursha, the other jersey will indeed be white.

I wish the blue was a bit brighter though, it looks too black for my taste. I like the eagle on the shoulder, and though I miss the eagle logo we've had for the last few years, I suspect these'll grow on me. And does one of the jerseys HAVE to be white, or is there any chance we'll see like a red home and a blue away? Cause that would be cool. I don’t mind it.

The eagle will indeed take some getting used to, and I kinda miss the dome. But it's certainly better than most of the fan-made ones (and much better than that rumored one from a year or two ago, the Tommy Hilfiger-designed Post Office-looking mess). This design is still much better than that vomit-inducing Buffaslug. We don't have a classic logo like Boston or Montreal to work with here . . . so given that, this new jersey rates pretty well with me. IMO this is a pretty cool sweater.

This was a late-night poll creation, so the omission was a sleep deprivation-induced oversight. Note: images removed due to some funky display in IE browsers. Original images were Bjork in the swan dress for "Bizarre", New Coke for "New Brand...", and a puking pumpkin for "Godawful".
