I wanted to love it. Maybe I'm ignorant, what is the story behind 3 stars?

"The three stars on our current Capitals jersey represent the three jurisdictions: Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.,"

That would have been cool to get a Lundqvist of :(

It's a really nice uniform kit IMO. The only thing that I'd have done differently is gone with a full blue base, losing the huge white yoke.

I agree with removing the white.

 

Maybe that’s it, but I don’t like these. I love plain jerseys, but idk, not this one. Maybe because it looks like all of the Rangers outdoor jerseys

Looks like if you tried to make a mashup with the New York Islanders and the Rangers. Simple can be done right but this feels more like clipart than thought out minimalism.

I was fully expecting there to be no explanation at all for those three stars. Happy there is; makes me like it a lil more.

 

The Caps, Lightning and Sharks have always been my secondary teams I have enjoyed watching.

I could take or leave it...mostly leave it. The big "W" doesn't exactly grab me but it's a retro so I get it.

[Keirik]

Why did they unviel a third and wear it first day when we normally take 3 months to do that lol

Looks like what I would have preferred the heritage jersey to look like. Royal and white instead of navy and cream. White shoulder yoke could take or leave.
