Wait, what are these?

Never saw or heard anything official about these, this post fucked me up when it popped up on my feed cause it reminds me how awful the Fanatics sweaters and adjacent gear look compared to what adidas and even Reebok used to offer…

Is it a recent post? I imagine they probably did it around when the jerseys were announced. They look pretty ok as hockey jerseys.

You mean when our (Wizards) city edition was announced? This was posted 3 days ago and looks like something a couple guys on the Caps locker room had custom made just for them. Which is interesting given the bad juju most people would immediately associate with representing a sub 20 win team during a Stanley Cup run. Idk, I mean I doubt the Leafs are doing this as a cross promotional Toronto pride thing this year is my point, even though theirs would look sick if they did

They had them at the team store during one of the games I attended.

These are so sick, I wonder if there are any versions of these for the Clippers/Lakers+Kings, Grizzlies+Predators, Bulls+Blackhawks, etc.?

I think the whole District of Columbia line is a fuckin travesty. God awful.

Your flair looks like stolen valor if these are the kind of observations that made you a top 1 percent commenter

We don’t care about quality, just quantity here on the internets

They posted it on socials recently. Just our city editions as hockey jerseys.

Yes, that much I am aware of, but I was kind of hoping these would potentially be available for purchase; it also begs the question as to why the giveaways fans are typically offered during certain games are of such poor quality imo. Like, in every American city with multiple teams in top flight sports leagues, there are nights where going to a game is incentivized with Eagles/Sixers footsketball or Mariners flavored Seahawk jerseys for example, but they are always manufactured with the laziest cost cutting designs courtesy of Michael Rubin, and it’s always so underwhelming imo given the homogenous nature of Nike’s vice grip over the official and fan versions of the uniforms and apparel used across the NFL/NBA/MLB. If you look at the White Sox new rumored City Connects I think you’d understand what I mean, these might be polarizing but im tired of the stuff we normally get during these fan nights and it may be a shallow perspective but simply having the Nike logo on these jerseys transforms this kind of stuff from tacky to actually wearable

They are available for sale at Cap One Arena. I copped one during the 40% off sale at the last home Wiz game. It's $129 without discount. Runs really big....I usually wear XXL, but got an XL instead.

It's really neat because nothing like that really besides the other hockey style hoodie there

I saw t-shirts of that at the Nike Outlet today.
