TXHT Jersey Share – The Black Dome

Welcome to another edition the TXHT Jersey Share series as today we take a look at the Black Dome jersey of the Washington Capitals.

Originally introduced as the Capitals first ever alternate jersey during the 1997-98 season, it would remain their alternate until the end of the 1999-2000 season. During those three season the nameplate on the back was curved. When the Capitals made the change to have this jersey replace the Blue Eagle unifom at the start of the 2000-01 season the nameplate would be straightened to match the Capitals then home white jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – The White Eagle

Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share. Today we bring to you another jersey in the Washington Capitals history.

The White Eagle jersey was first introduced in the summer of 1995 as part of their rebrand, but it was similar to the Blue Eagle jersey that had the word “CAPITALS” on the front of the jersey. However, going into the 1997-98 season the team removed the woodmark from their then home jersey. The Capitals would continue to wear this uniform all the way to the end of the 2006-07 season to which then they would rebrand back to the red white and blue (navy) that they have been with to this day.

TXHT Jersey Share – Brass Bonanza

It’s time to tune up the band and play some “Brass Bonanza” as the TXHT Jersey Share series looks at the Hartford Whalers jersey that was brought back this past season by the Carolina Hurricanes for Whalers Night.

This beauty of a jersey was brought back by the Hurricanes for two games of the 2018-19 season to pay homage to their history before moving to North Carolina in 1997.

I had two opportunities to obtain this jersey. The first time when Shaggy, Dickson, and I went to Raleigh for Whalers Night against the Boston Bruins, and again a few months later when our friends at Cool Hockey made them available. I obviously went the Cool Hockey route given how I wanted to get the jersey customized with my name and number on the back, which was not an option at the game back in December. Really awesome jersey, and another quality job by our friends at Cool Hockey.

TXHT Jersey Share – Quack Attack

TXHT Jersey Share takes on the Quack Attack!!

Don’t lie. You know this is cool. We all grew up watch the Mighty Ducks movies as kids and this was the first real Ducks jersey we ever saw because when the first movie came out the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim didn’t exist yet.

This jersey after a lot of searching I found on Mad Bros, and was greatly surprised by the selection they had on their website. Not only did they have the D5 Ducks jerseys, but also jerseys from SlapShot, Mystery Alaska, and at one point Miracle. The people at Mad Bros did a great job, and everything is handstitched. I’ve worn it in many games in games that I have played in and it has stood up to the rigors of playing. Definitely recommended to go to Mad Bros if you’re interested in getting a D5 Ducks jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – Olie the All Star

Ladies and Gentlemen the TXHT Jersey Share series is going international once again, this time with Washington Capitals legend Olaf Kolzig’s 1998 World All Star jersey.

So for those who didn’t know the NHL went with a World versus North America format for the 1998 All Star Game in celebration of the first time the NHL was sending the players to the Olympics (which was a couple weeks after the All Star Break and was a total disaster), and it actually featured these really cool jerseys.

For the front of the jerseys it would be the NHL crest along with the respective country flag that player is from (or represents). For Kolzig it would be Germany for whom he has citizenship with and was representing at the Olympics shortly after the All Star Break. On the shoulders would be the 1998 All Star patch and the Capitals logo. The White jersey with Navy and Silver blends real smoothly, and makes for a nice design for a jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – The Mighty Duck

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we will be taking a look at the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim’s original jersey from their beginning years in the NHL.

This is a really cool jersey as it was one of the first jerseys to really shake things up on how jerseys are designed. Plus the color scheme that was used is very unique and one that is missed to this day (sorry Anaheim, but you screwed the pooch with your 25th Anniversary jersey). Once again like with the San Jose Sharks jersey, this was one that I had a as kid, and replaced once it became available again. Definitely a cool jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – The Kachina

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we look at possibly one of the greatest jerseys in NHL history, the Phoenix Coyotes Kachina jersey.

This is such a cool jersey in my humble opinion. When the original Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1996 the new team owners spoke with and consulted with Native Americans in the area to create their logo and uniforms and created what is known as the Kachina. It is hands down one of the most beautiful jerseys made, and are now back again as the Arizona Coyotes alternate jersey. When they brought it back for their 20th Anniversary I picked one up from the NHL website because it was definitely worth the pick up.
