ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals will wear their red third jersey featuring the team’s iconic screaming eagle for 10 home dates during the 2026-27 NHL season. The design debuted last season.
Jersey Design
Designed in partnership with Fanatics, the uniform honors multiple eras of Capitals history. The primary red base celebrates the team’s signature color and fan passion, while nodding to the 1970s and 80s with the iconic white rounded shoulder yoke and classic hem striping. A lace-up neckline and the reintroduced 1990s Capitol Dome shoulder patch add distinctive character and heritage detail.
The Screaming Eagle logo features a powerful eagle diving downward, symbolizing speed, strength, and dominance—qualities associated with both the sport of hockey and the eagle itself, the national bird of the United States. The eagle’s dynamic pose evokes energy and motion, capturing the intensity of the game. Complementing the primary logo, the shoulder patch incorporates the U.S. Capitol building positioned in front of two crossed hockey sticks, with a hockey puck nestled between the blades. Two stars in the background add a final touch, reinforcing the team’s strong connection to DC.
Symbolic details run throughout the uniform: three stars on the pants and three sleeve stripes in red, white, and blue represent the loyal DC, Maryland, and Virginia fan base. Finishing touches include a District of Columbia flag loop label at the back hem, creating a hidden discovery element while honoring the team’s home, and the Caps wordmark at the inner back neck as a final nod to team pride.
Coupang Patch
The jersey also features the Coupang jersey patch. Coupang has its logo featuring its wordmark and a rocket worn on the upper right chest area of the Capitals home and third jerseys. The logo is symbolic of Coupang’s services that offer international customers a selection of millions of items sold by U.S. companies including fresh groceries, consumer electronics, and home goods—99% of which are delivered within a day.
