The enormous crest was developed through a combination of sublimation and classic twill embroidery. Sublimation allows for large scale art and was used to create the wings and body. Twill and embroidery add dimension and quality and were used to create the head of the eagle.
The three bands of color in the sleeve are a nod to the oversize, three-color banded hem on the inaugural Capitals’ sweater. The two horizontal laces represent the two red bands on the D.C. flag. The inside neck features the ‘W’ and stars crest from the Capitals’ 2018 NHL Stadium Series jersey.
“We are thrilled to unveil the 2023 Stadium Series uniform with the fan-favorite Weagle front and center,” said Hunter Lochmann, Monumental Sports & Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer. “The bold design allows the Weagle to take center stage as the focal point of the jersey and set itself apart in the stadium atmosphere. We are excited for our players and fans alike to wear these jerseys and represent the Capitals and D.C., starting with the outdoor game on February 18 before being worn on home ice on February 21.”
