While the Washington Capitals’ Reverse Retro jerseys were highly regarded by players and fans, the team’s home jersey featuring the Capitals’ hockey stick wordmark is not getting the same love.
Friday, @JFreshHockey, a popular hockey analytics account on X that has over 121k followers, published results of an poll he conducted through Google where 1,301 voters rated each team’s 2024-25 home uniform on a scale of 1 to 10.
The Capitals finished dead last, notching an average score of 3.7.

According to the poll, 18 percent of voters gave the Capitals’ home jersey a 1 out of 10 — more than any other team except for the Utah Hockey Club (20 percent). Seventy-nine percent of hockey fans that voted in the poll gave the Caps’ home jersey a score of 5 or lower.
The Montreal Canadiens (7.7), Calgary Flames (7.5), Buffalo Sabres (7.4), Boston Bruins (7.3), and Detroit Red Wings (7.1) made up the top 5. Twenty-four percent of fans gave the Canadiens’ home jersey a rating of 10, which… really?
These are the final results of the 2024-25 NHL home uniform ranking survey.

While the poll has flaws and is influenced by who voted and what teams they root for nationally, the results suggest it wouldn’t hurt the Capitals to consider a rebranding as its wordmark logo does not appear to be highly regarded. When RMNB conducted a poll with its followers in 2021, fans voted the Screaming Eagle to be the team’s best logo when choosing between the Capitals wordmark, W, Weagle, and Capitol Dome logos.

Sept. 14 (UPI) — Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris spoke to donors in Washington, D.C., her running mate Tim Walz held a rally in Wisconsin and GOP nominee Donald Trump was set to fundraise in Utah on Saturday.
Harris appeared Saturday afternoon at a private fundraising event in Washington and was set to follow that with a keynote speech later in the evening at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Phoenix Awards Dinner at the Washington Convention Center.
During her talk with donors at the Washington Hilton, she touted her performance during Tuesday’s debate with Republican nominee Donald Trump and warned of the possible consequences of a second Trump term in the wake of July’s Supreme Court decision ruling presidents to be immune from criminal prosecution.
“On Tuesday, I talked about my plans on how we will bring down costs, how we will build our economy, how we protect reproductive freedom and keep our nation safe,” Harris said, according to a pool report. “But that is not what we hear from Donald Trump. Instead, it was the same old tired show. He was running from that same tired playbook that we’ve heard for years.”
Later, she warned of the high court’s ruling, “Imagine the meaning of that court ruling on this individual and what he is prepared to do and what he has already done. Imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails.”
President Joe Biden and Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, are also scheduled to speak at the Phoenix Awards Dinner, which serves as the flagship event of the CBCF’s annual legislative conference. Phoenix Awards are given to people who “are serving as leaders and trailblazers for the Black community, creating more opportunities for the next generation in the process.”
At last year’s event — also attended by Harris and Biden — the winners included White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, and rappers MC Lyte and LL Cool J.
Harris spent Friday campaigning in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, talking to voters in Johnstown, Pa., and sitting down for her first solo television interview since becoming the Democratic nominee.
In her interview with Philadelphia’s WPVI-TV, she was asked about Trump’s enduring appeal to the state’s voters despite his divisive persona and appeals to racism, and how she’s expecting to counter it.
“I, based on experience, and a lived experience, know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know, that the vast majority of us as Americans have so much more in common than what separates us,” Harris said.
“And I also believe that I am accurate in knowing that most Americans want a leader that brings us together as Americans and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other,” she added.
Walz. who is Minnesota’s governor, continued to campaign in northern Wisconsin, also seen as a crucial swing state in November’s election. His campaigned in Superior, Wis., following a stop Friday in Wausau.
In Superior, located in the northwestern tip of the state across the St. Louis River from Duluth, Minn., Walz similarly praised the outcome of Tuesday’s debate and took aim at Trump’s efforts during his first term to scuttle the Affordable Care Act.
“Not once did he ever worry that he would have to pay a medical bill,” he told attendees at the University of Wisconsin’s branch campus.
On Friday at Wausau’s Whitewater Music Hall, Walz warned that the United States’ foreign allies “have no respect for [Trump]. They know where he’s at. He continues to brag about being friends with the dictators.”
The former president, meanwhile, is expected to attend a private fundraiser Saturday in Utah after spending Friday at a rally in Las Vegas.
Attendees at the Salt Lake City event are expected to include controversial Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, right-wing radio personality Glenn Beck, former acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, KSL-TV reported.
At his rally in Las Vegas, Trump repeated false claims about Venezuelan criminal gangs taking over parts of Aurora, Colo., and Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, declaring that immigration to the United States constitutes an “invasion.”
“Our country is under invasion just like an army,” he said, although refraining from repeating debunked rumors alleging Haitian immigrants in Springfield are killing and eating household pets. After Trump issued those slurs earlier this week, they were linked to a series of bomb threats delivered to the city’s schools and public agencies, forcing children to miss classes.
WASHINGTON – A 20-year-old Maryland woman who was caught on video spray-painting “Gaza” on the Columbus Fountain outside of Washington, D.C.’s Union Station earlier this summer has been arrested Friday and is now facing a federal charge, prosecutors say.
Isabella Giordano of Towson is set to make her first court appearance this afternoon on one count of willfully injuring or depredating any property of the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. The incident allegedly happened as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting the area.
“Footage obtained from a review of open-source videos posted to X (formerly Twitter) showed Giordano using red spray paint to write ‘Gaza’ on the Columbus Fountain,” the Attorney’s Office said, referring to an incident on July 24. “She also spray-painted the base of two of the flagpoles in Columbus Circle.”
Prosecutors say the U.S. Park Police later received tips identifying Giordano and that she was taken into custody this morning.
“According to court documents, on July 24, 2024, an organization was granted a permit to demonstrate in the area of Columbus Circle, located at Massachusetts Ave. NE, and E St. NE, directly in front of Union Station. From approximately 3 p.m. until 5 p.m., demonstrators who had gathered in Columbus Circle pulled down flags affixed to the flagpoles; burned flags and objects; sprayed graffiti on multiple statutes and structures; and interfered with law enforcement’s ability to place individuals under arrest,” the Attorney’s Office said.
The National Park Service says they’re about 90% done cleaning the defaced statues and fountain in Columbus Circle in front of Union Station after thousands of pro-Palestine protesters vandalized the area.
“The flags pulled down from the flag poles, and the statutes and structures in Columbus Circle, are all property of the federal government,” it added. “The National Park Service estimated that the cost to clean and repair the site at about $11,282.23.”
Giordano’s case is being investigated by the Park Police’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Unit and the FBI Washington Field Office, according to prosecutors.
