After much anticipation following the initial reveal and first in-game look, fans of the Washington Capitals are now able to purchase the 2022-23 Reverse Retro jersey and other gear, with products both in-person and online becoming available at 9:00 AM EST. And as one might expect, the new rendition of the Caps’ “Screaming Eagle” design are flying off the proverbial shelves.
Scenes posted to social media show Capitals fans showing up in full force to MedStar Capitals Iceplex, the team’s practice facility, and Capital One Arena, with lines already stretching as far as the eye can see.

The design is the second edition of the Reverse Retro gear produced by Adidas since taking over from Reebok as the NHL’s official merchandise and uniform manufacturer, with a Screaming Eagle collection using the team’s current red, white, and blue colors being used in 2021; that version was the NHL’s most popular.

Was anybody able to snag one?
Just barely got one
Does anyone know whether a second batch will be produced? Or was this it?
1 run only
Someone said the NHL store will eventually have a batch, but I don’t know if that’s true.
