The Black Screaming Eagle Jerseys Are The Best Jerseys The Caps Have Ever Worn And I'm Very Glad They Are Back

To put it bluntly, I love this jersey so, so much. I think it is hands down the best jersey the Caps have ever worn. Not only is it a great design, but Natealytics have proven wearing all black makes a team bigger, stronger, and tougher. I fully believe they should make the all black jersey the full-time home sweater. The reds have been great- going back to them and starting the "Rock The Red" campaign more or less saved the franchise. Going to the arena and seeing 99% of people organically in red was the best thing ever for the better part of 2 decades. But I do think it's time to change it up and my god these are just so, so sweet.

THAT is perfect right there.

They also make goaltenders look more intimidating too.

You ain't scorin' on that, just forgetaboutit.

And you know who else loves them to death? A guy named Alexander Ovechkin, that's who.

What a gift for his 39th birthday!!!!

Not for nothing, I still love the classic red, white, and blues they are currently wearing. Ain't nothing wrong with them. But the black screaming eagle takes the cake for me. 

PS: Ovi definitely putting up a 50 spot this year. Tick, tock Gretzky's record, tick tock.
