Capitals Unveil Cherry Blossom Jersey for 50th Anniversary

The Washington Capitals are blending tradition, art, and iconic D.C. culture with the launch of their 50th Anniversary Cherry Blossom Jersey, just in time for peak bloom. This special edition jersey is a tribute to both the team’s rich history and the beauty of the District’s famous cherry blossoms.

The design reimagines the classic Screaming Eagle logo, now clutching a cherry blossom branch, with soft pink tones inspired by the petals. Blossoms and stems weave through the jersey’s numbering, while the shoulders feature the Capitals’ 50th Anniversary patch, reimagined in pink and adorned with even more blossoms.

Designed by D.C.-based artist Taylor Kampa Olson, the jersey will be worn by Capitals players during arrivals ahead of their March 18 matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. Fans eager to get their hands on this unique piece can bid on the jerseys through an MSE Foundation auction, with proceeds supporting local community programming.

Combining heritage, local culture, and fresh design, the Cherry Blossom jersey perfectly captures the spirit of D.C. and adds a stylish twist to the Caps’ 50th Anniversary celebration.
