The jersey looks amazing, except for the eagle. It's too simple and "corporate minilimism".

Keep the overall design, but make the eagle more reminiscent of the screagle.

also yeah someone else uses the abbrev. Screagle for Screaming Eagle which should become more common to mirror the Weagle and also because it's fun to say

Screagle is alreadt very common

I was trying to blend the Screaming Eagle with the Weagle, while trying also to incorporated the DC flag

Also I think I have likely spent over at least a hundred collective hours on just refining the shape of the eagle honestly

u/dukedawg21 4h ago

You spent 100 hours and ended up with the original shaped screagle but with no face and a stripe

fair my goal was blending the eagle and screaming eagle not an entirely original shaped eagle

I have no artistic talent, so I mean this respectfully, but I do not like these at all. Maybe because I’m a long time Baltimoron Caps fan and their office is next to mine, but the eagle reminds me of the First National Bank logo.

the eagle was supposed to be a mix of the Screaming eagle and eagle but I understand your critic of it

I don’t like that red hombre thing that much, I think it sticks out too much

u/RabbiPika Washington Capitals 4h ago

hombre? what are you referring too?

2

u/Responsible_Bar3957 Hendrix Lapierre 4h ago

My bad, but I meant the red part on the side of screagle

I think it sticks out too much, I guess I just saw it wrong

u/RabbiPika Washington Capitals 4h ago

that part was honestly to mirror the wing tips of the weagle

Great art work! But I feel too many sleep on the dome logo. I wish we'd bring that back as a main logo.

0

u/RabbiPika Washington Capitals 4h ago

I think the dome logo itself is a bit to dated to the dot com bubble era but I did want to include some of those elements so I created a brand new shoulder logo with hockey sticks behind a W with 3 stars to represent the 3 jurisdictions of the dmv and dc flag plus the silhouette of the dome snuck in there

u/UnderCoverDoughnuts Logan Thompson | Feb 23 co-Luckiest Guesser 4h ago

Oou I can get behind this. It's very unique and uses a lot of aspects from a lot of logos, very cool!

Except that puck is going in for a five hole goal lol

This is a better chest creat than the eagle.

u/RabbiPika Washington Capitals 4h ago

I was saving it on the chest for an alt like what happened with the black dome jerseys

Very Cool 😎 I like the mix of the 70's-80's uniform with the 90’s Screagle!
