If anybody’s interested. Fathead is making a Wizard Capital Logo soon. I can’t wait. I purchased a Red Wings Logo and it’s awesome!

The Caps had a store in White Flint Mall during 2 holiday seasons selling regular retail gear- no equipment, perhaps 1992 & 1993. It was small, but great.

Great post. I’ve always liked the Blackhawks and have hoped they would come back from the dead at some point. A strong Blackhawk franchise is good for hockey.

Why not for the Caps?

The Orioles had one in downtown DC. (I don’t know if it’s still there, but I remember it when growing up.)

HawkQuarters is owned by the Hawks. They sell the game-issued (non worn) jerseys for $100 or so. Game worn ones cost more.

The Blackhawks were my first hockey team (great name) as I lived there from 8 to 11 or so but I didn’t really find how amazing the game was till ‘88 or so watching the Capitals.

That is kind of a cool idea. I would think that the store would have to be either owned or have an agreement with the team in order to get exclusive equipment. Wonder if the stores inside the phone booth have any sort of special agreements which would limit competition in the immediate area?

I find it amazing that they are only charging $100 for a game worn jersey or was that for a practice worn? I think the Caps practice jersey runs $100, so for a name & numbered jersey that shoulds like a pretty good deal.

Welcome to Chicago. Im guessing you are staying at the Palmer House. If you need some more ideas for places to go/see/drink while in town, let me know.
