Capitals ask fans about their favorite jerseys and logos in public survey."},"content":{"rendered":"

The Washington Capitals released a public survey on Monday<\/a>, both on social media and email, focused on the team\u2019s design identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cShare your feedback about the Screaming Eagle and current Capitals jerseys,\u201d the Capitals implored followers on X<\/a>. (You could also win a signed jersey.)<\/p>\n

Days after releasing a new Screaming Eagle third jersey, the questions took stock on how Capitals fans felt with the current look and feel of the team as well as which logos they preferred most.<\/p>\n

Some of the questions asked were focused on:<\/p>\n

The primary color you are drawn to when wearing Capitals gear
\nRating the Screaming Eagle, Weagle, Capitol Dome, Blue \u2018W\u2019, original, and primary Capitals wordmark logos
\nRating the team\u2019s current jersey selection in comparison to other NHL teams
\nSpecifically rating the Red\/White\/Blue Screaming Eagle jersey, current white away jerseys, black Capitol Dome jerseys, 2018 Stadium Series jersey, 2023 Stadium Series jersey, original jerseys, the Blue \u2018W\u2019 jerseys, the current red home jersey, the 2015 Winter Classic jersey, and the black Screaming Eagle jersey
\nExplaining why you liked or disliked jerseys<\/p>\n

So what does it all mean? Some readers had a hunch and seemingly everyone appeared to appreciate having their voice heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re planning for the next rebrand once Ovi hangs em up and getting rid of the current reds (which I personally don\u2019t like),\u201d Capitals fan Ryan D told us on X<\/a>. \u201cPrimary logo, and which blue are they using, navy or royal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, what they\u2019re doing is trying to figure out whether or not they should retire the current primaries and make the new alternates our primaries after Ovi retires,\u201d Adam said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely think a rebrand is coming, when and how seems unsure,\u201d Zach E. said<\/a>. \u201cBut I do appreciate how in-depth it was and how much input they allowed. I went all in all the classic the Screagle & Dome, and emphasized how boring the word logo is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see that they\u2019re potentially taking us seriously after we\u2019ve been asking for a rebrand for years,\u201d Kieran M. said<\/a>. \u201cReally looking forward to what that means going onward, the future is bright on all fronts at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Capitals\u2019 poll comes after two successful Reverse Retro releases featuring the Screaming Eagle logo, and the positive reception to their recent release featuring the Screagle \u2014 a red, white, and blue third jersey, that appears in part to pay homage to their original logo and jersey design. Not only have the Screaming Eagle jerseys been popular with fans, but also with players, especially with Alex Ovechkin<\/a> who wore the logo during his first two years in the NHL.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we should wear it a lot,\u201d Dylan Strome said of the Screagle design last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last season, the Capitals were also reportedly considering putting the Screaming Eagle logo in the regular rotation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the retro designs from the 90s have elicited good feelings, the Capitals wordmark logo has seemingly fallen out of fashion with many others. In a national poll conducted by hockey statistician and social media personality @JFreshHockey, the Capitals were rated to have the worst home jerseys in the NHL for a second consecutive year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
