"The base of the jersey is the same hue of red as the team's main sweaters, as opposed to the white and blue base in the previous iteration of the jersey, and they will feature many Easter eggs that reference the local history and landmarks of Washington D.C. The shoulder patch will include a rendering of the U.S. Capitol building with two hockey sticks crossed in front, which is an homage to the team's logo in the 1990s and 2000s."
""It reminds me of my first year," Ovechkin told ESPN. "Good days. They look cool. I hope fans are going to love it.""
"One of the most beloved jersey designs for Capitals fans is the Screaming Eagle, which was used as one of the team's logos from 1995 to 2007. It's one of the jerseys that Alex Ovechkin wore in the dawn of his career, and it made a long-awaited return for the Reverse Retro series of threads back in 2021 and 2022."
Many NHL clubs maintain alternate jerseys, and several high-profile alternates will debut in 2025–26. The Seattle Kraken will wear a new all-black sweater with red accents, and fan-favorite designs are generating social media buzz. Washington brings back the Screaming Eagle as a permanent third jersey for 15 home games in 2025–26, with the first in-game appearance on Oct. 17 and a three-year run. The jersey uses the team's red base, includes multiple local Easter eggs, a U.S. Capitol shoulder patch with crossed hockey sticks, and three sleeve stripes and pants stars representing D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
