Capitals & Nationals Team Up for Collaborative Specialty Jersey
Two of D.C.’s most iconic franchises are joining forces. The Washington Capitals and Washington Nationals have unveiled a collaborative specialty jersey, celebrating the shared history and pride both teams bring to the nation’s capital.
As the Nationals wrap up their 20th anniversary season and the Capitals reflect on their 50th anniversary milestone last year, the jersey stands as a symbol of the strong bond between the organizations and their connection to the city they represent.
The partnership between the Caps and Nats has been highlighted by unforgettable moments:
The 2015 NHL Winter Classic at Nationals Park.
Ceremonial first pitches and cross-sport appearances.
The Stanley Cup’s visit to Nationals Park in 2018.
Nationals players taking a Zamboni ride at Capital One Arena following their 2019 World Series win.
Both teams delivered championships to Washington in back-to-back years, with the Capitals’ Stanley Cup in 2018 and the Nationals’ World Series in 2019, cementing their legacies in D.C. sports history.
The jersey design proudly features “Washington” across the chest as a nod to shared city pride on both the diamond and the ice. Its font and numbering are inspired by the Nationals’ 2005 home uniform, paying tribute to the return of Major League Baseball to D.C. after a 33-year absence. Completing the look, one shoulder displays the Capitals’ iconic Weagle logo, while the other showcases the Nationals’ 20th anniversary logo, tying together the history and identity of both franchises.
The jersey blends history, tradition, and a sense of unity, capturing the essence of both franchises while celebrating their milestones.
To mark the collaboration, Capitals forward Dylan Strome will wear the specialty jersey while throwing out the ceremonial first pitch on Monday, Sept. 15, as the Nationals host the Atlanta Braves. Nationals players will also take batting practice in special-edition Capitals T-shirts, with additional Caps-themed activations happening throughout the ballpark that night.
This collaboration is more than just a jersey; it’s a celebration of D.C.’s sports culture, uniting fans of the red, white, and blue across the city.
