As someone born in the DMV, I couldn’t be happier about this! The 2024-25 season will be the 50th anniversary for the Washington Capitals , and to commemorate the special campaign, the team will be sporting the iconic black screaming eagle jersey for six home games at Capital One Arena. The color scheme of the jersey is black, blue and bronze, and on the shoulder, it has the Capitol Building branded. The jersey is similar to the original one that the Caps introduced back in 1995.

The Capitol Building on the shoulder features two hockey sticks crossing behind it.
Things were finished up with two stars being placed in the background, as well as a hockey puck in the center of stick blades. The six games that the Capitals will be sporting the screaming eagles are: -Wednesday, Nov. 6th: vs.
Nashville Predators -Friday, Nov. 29th: vs. New York Islanders -Tuesday, Dec.
31st: vs. Boston Bruins -Saturday, Jan. 18th: vs.
Pittsburgh Penguins -Saturday, Feb. 1st: vs. Winnipeg Jets -Sunday, April 13th: vs.
