Hershey will host four Capitals nights this season, where the Bears will wear a specialty jersey in honor of the teams’ ongoing affiliation. Then, the jerseys will be auctioned off on March 15.
The new jerseys are a tribute to Washington’s “Screamin’ Eagle” sweaters, which include a Bear fashioned as the Capitals’ famous eagle logo and the “Bears” wordmark at the bottom of the jersey. On the shoulders is the Hershey Bears logo fashioned to resemble Washington’s dome.
