TXHT Jersey Share – Correcting Past Wrongs

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share where today we take a look at the current Washington Capital alternate jersey which was purchased from CoolHockey.com.

After moving away from the classic Retro Red jerseys, the Capitals debuted their first non-special event navy blue jersey when they created their current alternates. Also, by creating this jersey they corrected the many issues that plagued the 2018 Stadium Series jersey that lacked any real inspiration, or true dedication to the US Navy.

To start off the Caps did keep the Navy base and the white shoulders, but where this jersey differs is they added a bit more to the jersey to liven it up. First they added white to the striping and they gave us a navy base for the bottom of the main jersey instead of making it all red. The white striping surround the red on the sleeves and near the bottom of the jersey looks more appealing and gives it a little more personality.

The other thing they did was utilize an updated “W” logo, which was popular from when it was introduced as the crest for the 2015 NHL Winter Classic, instead of the lazy “Caps” wordmark that was used on the 2018 Stadium Series jersey. The logo looks fresh, and compliments the jersey nicely.

For the back of the jersey the Caps kept the standard font that they have been using since rebranding back to the red, white, and blue/navy in 2007, but the only difference is this time they don’t have the designs in the numbers like they did for the Stadium Series.

Overall, this is a much improved jersey from their awful 2018 Stadium Series, and will be getting sunset at the conclusion of the 2022-23 (according to reports we have read from multiple sources with knowledge on the behind the scenes dealings for NHL jerseys) for a potential new alternate jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – Fear The Reapers

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share where today we take a look at the Leonardo Reapers jersey from the View Askewniverse by Geeky Jerseys.

First debuting in the Kevin Smith film Clerks II, we would see the Reapers logo on Randal’s hat. Leonardo is also the home of both Quick Stop and RST Video in New Jersey when Smith filmed the movie Clerks. Smith would also go to direct the pilot episode of Reaper, which would be a subtle nod to the Leonardo Reapers.

The Leonardo Reapers are also be part of the Original Four of the VASHL along with the Monroeville Zombies, Puck U, and the View Askew Vulgarians.

For the jersey itself it has a very standard setup to it. the base being burgundy was a good choice as it’s not a color that is often used on a hockey jersey and the black and white striping compliments the jersey very well. The logo is very 90’s which I really like. the colors might not compliment the base jersey color, but it still works.

And as always with the Geeky Jerseys/Kevin Smith collaborations, the jerseys are numbered to 420. Luckily for me, I got jersey number 37 out of 420, so I consider that a win for me because of the significance of the number 37 to Kevin Smith.

TXHT Announcement – 2019-20 Jersey Tracking

TXHT is proud to announce that for the 2019-20 NHL Season we will be tracking the jerseys that all 31 NHL teams will be wearing this season.

How TXHT will be doing this is through three methods.

1) In NHL News and Notes

2) On the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs Game Recap Pages

3) In the Game Recaps for the Capitals and Maple Leafs

Tracking in Game Previews have not been decided at this time, but is also a possibility.

When you see our Team Previews, which will be debuting tomorrow morning with Anaheim, all 31 teams will have graphics representing their Home, Road, and if applicable, their Alternate or Heritage uniform. Special Event uniforms will not be included in the Team Previews, but will be featured in NHL News and Notes. While there are some teams that will be having alternate jerseys this season, some have not been announced yet and will not be featured in the Team Previews.

TXHT will have a dedicated Jersey Database page for this season which will feature every teams Home, Road, Alternate, Heritage, and Special Event jerseys. This page will be updated when jerseys are unveiled. This page can be found in the 2019-20 sub-section of the NHL section.

For how our jersey tracking will look on the website will look like the following:

As you can see in the three examples above we see the Arizona Coyotes Road jersey against the Montreal Canadiens Home jersey, New York Rangers Road jersey against the Coyotes Alternate jersey, and the Florida Panthers Road jersey against the Coyotes Home jersey. As you can tell we are only showing off how the logo looks on the front of the jersey. We decided to go with this simpler approach as it is our first season doing the Jersey Tracker. In the future we hope to have full jerseys to display as a part of our tracker.

We hope you all enjoy the Jersey Tracking that we will be doing this season. If you would like to see all of the team jerseys for this season you can visit the page by clicking here.

TXHT Jersey Share – Gold Medal Caliber

Today in another edition of TXHT Jersey Share, we are going to take a look at a Replica Nike Team USA Hockey jersey that our very own Scott Fairchild got signed by the women’s 2018 Olympic Gold Medal winning team at MedStar Capitals Iceplex.

Scott: First of all, the jersey is very comfortable as it has a Dri-Fit feel to it which is very typical of how Nike makes their jerseys and clothes. It also makes the jersey feel very breathable on you and doesn’t feel heavy or itchy at all. I’ve always been a fan of this jersey with the patriotic design and how the red stripes flowing out of the letter “S” like a waving flag.

Now as for it being signed, I was very lucky and fortunate to be able to get the majority of the 2018 gold medal winning women’s hockey team at the Olympics to sign it. I happened to be off work one day due to a really bad wind storm which caused power outages that closed schools, and the team was visiting MedStar Capitals Iceplex (then know as Kettler Capitals Iceplex) to sign autographs and run a kids hockey clinic. I was able to get a good amount of signatures that day and I even got to hold Hilary Knight’s Gold Medal (see picture below). The team was also in town for the 2018 Stadium Series between the Washington Capitals & Toronto Maple Leafs. The whole team was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans at the fan fest before the game began as they were being honored for their accomplishment of winning the Gold Medal at the Olympics.

Here are the signatures featured on the jersey:

Hilary Knight, Jocelyn Lamoreaux-Davidson (game winning goal in the shootout), Monique Lamoreaux-Morando (game tying goal), Amanda Pelky, Kelly Panek, Hannah Brandt, Nicole Hensley, Maddie Rooney (winning goalie of record in the Gold Medal game), Kendall Coyne Schofield, Sidney Morin

TXHT Jersey Share – Toronto celebrates NHL’s 100th anniversary

Today for Dickson’s entry in the TXHT Jersey Share series, we take a look at the Toronto Maple Leafs throwing back to the Toronto Arenas on the NHL’s official 100th anniversary.

Dickson: When the Maple Leafs announced that this was to be worn as the throwback on December 19th, 2017, I bought this jersey, with Auston Matthews as the player that I chose. I also chose the player option, as I really liked how the pattern on the numbers were and the numbers had an old-school like feel to them.

This a jersey that is on the adiZero template and was purchased through the Toronto Maple Leafs official team store and I was glad to have purchased this jersey for my collection.

TXHT Jersey Share – 2017 NHL All-Star Game Atlantic Division

Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series where Dickson briefly discusses one of the four jerseys the NHL put out for the 2017 NHL All-Star Game.

Dickson: Each division had a different jersey, and I would go on to purchase the Atlantic Division jersey and the Purple version, which was worn by the Central Division. As the player versions were not available when I purchased them from Dick’s Sporting Goods, I went with the blank version of the jersey.

This would be the first year that Reebok would make four jerseys for the divisions in the All-Star Game. The Atlantic Division would only wear it for the one game in the All-Star Game tournament, losing to the Metropolitan Division, 10-6.

TXHT Jersey Share – Toronto St. Pats

Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look at a throwback for the Toronto Maple Leafs from the 1922-25 season when they were known as the Toronto St. Pats.

Dickson: When the Maple Leafs made the announcement that they would wear this jersey back in February 2017, I knew I had to pick this up. Unless I know that there is a specific reason for me to get a player jersey, I get the replica jerseys with no name on the back. This jersey is a very cool jersey to have and the Maple Leafs brought this back on the adiZero template this past season for two games.

TXHT Jersey Share – Hockey Fights Cancer

Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look at the Hockey Fights Cancer jersey for the Washington Capitals from Dickson’s collection.

Dickson: This jersey is very special to me, as it is not only one of my favourites, but also my paternal grandfather had passed away from cancer back in 2005.

This jersey in particular was a must have and everywhere I went to get one, they were all sold out in my size. That was until I went to a Capitals game and was browsing one of small team store kiosks and I found it. There was no question at all that I was picking this up. Anytime I know I am going to a Capitals game, especially during the Hockey Fights Cancer month, I wear this jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – Game Worn in Double OT at MSG

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at this very special jersey that was worn by Washington Capitals defenseman John Erskine when they defeated the New York Rangers in double overtime in Madison Square Garden.

So the story behind this one is awesome. I had received the first ever bonus in my life and it was enough to get a game worn jersey from Meigray. I knew I wanted a John Erskine jersey and they were three available. Both the home and road regular season jerseys, and by luck the road jersey worn in Game 4 against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden that the Capitals won in double overtime. Well with three solid options I didn’t know which one to go with so I went to Twitter and asked the man himself and let John Erskine decide which jersey I should get.

Erskine made it known that it was an obvious choice. The Playoff jersey! It was a no brainer. So I ordered the jersey and I brought it to a Capitals practice and presented it to Erskine to sign and the exchange about it was hilarious, but awesome.

Me – Hey Ersk, can you sign this please?

Erskine – Is this the one I said to get on Twitter?

Me – Yes sir. *proud smile on my face*

Erskine – *signs the jersey* Cool.

Damn right it was cool.

Also a cool little tidbit here:

@MikeXtremist I'd go for last seasons jersey. String is for front tie down.

TXHT Jersey Share – Caps Clinic

Today on the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look back at this really cool jersey that was worn for the 2012 Capitals Clinic which was won at a Caps Care Auction by my friends Mark Whiting and John Stortz.

So first off I want to start by expressing my gratitude to both Mark and John for allowing me to be a part of this, and all of the great memories that have come from it. Being able to be on the ice with defenseman Dennis Wideman, forwards Mathieu Perreault and Marcus Johansson, goaltender Michal Neuvirth, and assistant coach Jim Johnson and learning from them, and being able to work on my game was just an amazing moment.

Top two moments overall were getting tripped by Perreault in board battle drills, and then working on net front battles as both a defenseman and forward with Johansson. Being able to work with Neuvirth, Johnson, and Wideman was really cool too, but I took the most from Johansson and Perreault as those are two big parts to my game as a player.
