No More Black Jerseys (A Plea)

19 August, 2008

Now I’m not saying the Washington Capitals necessarily should choose our third jersey design ‚Äî granted, I’m partial to it, but I’m clearly biased as the one who Photoshopped it. But as Jibblescribbits (via Puck Daddy) points out, 12 black jerseys in the NHL is too damned many already, so hopefully the Caps will at [...]
