ROCK THE RED! (or blue) …
Yesterday, at a church fellowship function I decided to wear my Washington Caps blue road jersey since they would be playing the Penguins on Saturday. Plus, how often do I get to wear a Caps jersey in May? Exactly. It was interesting since it seemed like most of the folks there had never seen their blue jerseys. I was a bit surprised because this was the jersey they wore during their lone Stanley Cup appearance in 1998.Per the Caps uniform history page it looks like the blue road jersey’s were only worn for about five seasons. From the 1995-1996 season to the 1999-2000 season where the alternative black jersey became the road jersey. Then starting the 2007 season, Ted made the change back to having red and white based jerseys. So I guess I have one of the shortest lived base colored jersey’s in Caps history. I remember feeling a tad out of place the last time I went to a Caps game since everyone had red on. I guess I really should spring for a new red jersey.
Gotta Rock the Red!
And, the Caps beat the Pens this afternoon 3-2 to go up 1-0 in the Eastern Conference Round 2 series.
And, while doing research on the Caps jersey history I found out that Papa Johns has a Caps Playoff special!!! Which basically is get a cheese pizza for $9.99 on the day after a Caps playoff game. For every goal the Caps score you get a free topping with the number of toppings doubled if they win!
