The screaming eagle is back — with a fresh coat of feathers.
The Washington Capitals unveiled Monday a modern take on its old jersey, reintroducing the screaming eagle it wore from 1995 to 2007. The original screaming eagle uniforms debuted with a blue, black and bronze color scheme.
That has been reimagined and updated with the current red, white and blue colors, and the “Reverse Retro” Adidas uniform will be worn for select games during the 2020-21 campaign. Across the center of the uniform is the star-spangled screaming eagle in blue, and “CAPITALS” is splayed underneath across the waist.
