Classic Team Logo of The Day

29 Oct

Logo of the National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals, used from 1995 until 2001. The Caps, founded as an expansion team in 1974, changed both their logo and team colors in ’95, and had a decent team in this era, under coach Jim Shoenfeld, and later Ron Wilson. Their roster included players like Peter Bondra, Dale Hunter, Joe Juneau, Steve Konowalchuck, Phil Housley, Calle Johansson, Adam Oates, Sergei Gonchar and goalie Olaf Kolzig. They reached the Stanley Cup Finals in 1998, but were swept by Detroit. Also in the ’98 season, Hunter, Housley and Oates all reached the 1,000 point mark in their careers, the only time in NHL history 3 players on the same team accomplished that feat.
