It marks the first time in league history that every club will participate in an alternate jersey program. Per a release, Adidas said it worked closely with the NHL to design a jersey “representing unique and historical moments in each club’s history, while refreshing the colour and design combination for an all-new presentation.”
MORE FROM THE CAPITALS
The Washington Capitals, the National Hockey League and adidas today unveiled the new Capitals Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic adidas jersey that the team will wear for select games during the 20-21 season.
Reimagined in the patriotic colors of the flag, the iconic Reverse Retro jersey features the screaming eagle design and will remind fans of the 1997-98 Capitals team that was comprised of players including Peter Bondra, Olie Kolzig and Calle Johansson. Originally part of a Capitals re-brand that included switching to a lighter shade of blue, the patriotic sweater will be made in the current Capitals red, white and blue. The team originally introduced new logos and uniforms with a blue, black and bronze color scheme in 1995, and retired the look in 2007.
“We are excited to unveil the Capitals Reverse Retro jersey that showcases a significant era of our team history,” said Monumental Sports & Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer Hunter Lochmann. “Working closely with adidas and the NHL, our goal was to pay tribute to our 97-98 team, refreshing the jersey design and, most importantly, following through on the feedback from our fanbase by reinstating the iconic Screaming Eagle. We are extremely proud of the Capitals Reverse Retro jersey and look forward to seeing its debut on-ice during the 2020-21 season.”

Thoughts on new design? Scale of 1 to 10?
Better than I expected… 7 or 8
Meh. 5. Would love to see a non-red Jersey.
Agreed – was hoping for a dark blue one like the stadium series ones from 2018.
Not bad, their hands were tied with the “reverse-retro” scheme. 7
I believe a few teams stepped outside the box a bit.
I’m on the fence with the sweater, but I’d like them to define reverse retro
This is an awesome Jersey. Love the look. Love the colors. I cant wait to get my own.
