Capitals Unveil 50th Anniversary Logo, First Look At Fanatics Jersey

The Washington Capitals are taking several initiatives to celebrate their 50th anniversary this coming season, and on Monday, released a new logo that will be featured on their new jerseys this season.

Washington's 50th anniversary logo pays tribute to the 1974-75 Capitals and their first-ever sweater, as it features the same wordmark and hockey stick from the original logo. It was collaborated with FANBRANDZ, and it will be featured as a patch on the team's home and away jerseys this season.

“We are excited to launch a celebration of the Capitals' vibrant past and honor our history as we mark 50 years as an NHL franchise,” Jim Van Stone, President of Business Operations and Chief Business Officer at Monumental Sports & Entertainment said in a statement. “Fans can anticipate several events and initiatives that will uniquely commemorate this milestone, and we are eager to share the celebration with our fanbase. We are also proud to highlight the Capitals' impact off the ice, including the franchise’s contributions to the community and the growth of youth hockey in the region as we pay tribute to 50 years and embrace the future of Capitals hockey.”

Washington posted the logo and jersey on social media, saying that the full jersey will be revealed at the 2024 NHL Draft in Las Vegas later this week, but also posted a picture of the team's new Fanatics Authentic Pro jersey.

Fanatics is replacing Adidas as the NHL's jersey provider this coming season. The sweaters seem to be mainly the same, with the only difference for D.C. being the added patch. It's unclear if a third jersey will be revealed at a later date, but there will be several occasions to celebrate the team's 50-year milestone.
