"This year's design was created by Bailiwick Clothing, a Washington, D.C.-based apparel brand that specializes in high-quality, locally inspired t-shirts, hoodies, and hats, celebrating the culture of the DMV. Bailiwick's Black History jersey veered away from the Capitals' wordmark logo and all-black sweaters of the past, instead utilizing the Screaming Eagle on red. The design's brilliance lies in the details that honor Black culture."
"Screaming Eagle crest logo The Screaming Eagle's colors across the eyes, beak, and tongue are red, green, and yellow - the colors symbolizing Black History Month. The gold accents on the Screagle represent African royalty. Left shoulder patch The left shoulder patch is grey and black, featuring an ALL CAPS and Weagle logo. The ALL CAPS tagline uses a gradient of colors to reflect different skin tones. Around the perimeter are the last names of the 12 Capitals Black players and alumni in team history."
"Right shoulder patch The right shoulder patch celebrates the Capitals' 51st season in franchise history, but is also a nod to progressives in the city who want the district to become the 51st state in the country. The style draws inspiration from DC's vintage Go-Go posters. Captain letters and sleeve numbers The letters designating the captain and alternate captains on the team, as well as the sleeve numbers, contain 12 small stripes and a red, green, and yellow pattern"
