Rebrand Series: Capitals 3rds

I know you've seen this jersey before but I can explain.  I've always liked the idea of the Caps having a Blue version of their current home/away jersey set, but I've done that already so, I went with a new version of my rebranded Flyers jersey.  It has a certain familiarity about it, being very comparable to the Caps actual design but also an element of simplification.
The Logo, just kind of came out of know where, I was looking at some sort of soccer logo and then all of a sudden got an idea that turned into this.  I can't really give you any rhyme or reason as to why it turned out this way but hey, it looks pretty decent:

The Capitals logo is cool, but I just think there is so much untapped potential with the eagle logo they have in their arsenal that isn't really being used.  As a result I have made it my mission to incorporate the eagle into almost every Capitals logo I've made.  My newest rendition includes the US Capitol (did you guys even know the bottom of the eagle is in the shape of the Capitol, MIND BLOWN) and of course I had to ad some stars and stripes to make it a little more American.
The jersey design itself comes from an All-Star jersey back from 1991-92.  Personally, I wouldn't have ever even known about these jerseys unless my boy Drake didn't represent one of them at the NHL All-Star game a few years ago in Ottawa.  When I was reminded of this jersey I knew I'd have to use them for one of my designs.  I've added another stripe to the bottom of the jersey to jazz it up a bit but other than that, this design need not any improvement.

Did you guys know that the bottom of the Eagle logo the caps use is shaped like the top of the white house?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I didn't until like a month ago and when I figured it out my jaw dropped.  My brain also started racing thinking how I could make a new logo with that in mind. That new logo will drop in a new rebranding series I'll be starting shortly, until then I've made their current eagle a little more patriotic, after all it is the Nations Capital.

In terms of the jersey I've tried to make it as, US capital-ish as possible and I think it works.

This is my last 2003/04 concept which means that from here on out we are journeying through unchartered territory:

Original Concept From 2004:

Capitals 3rd Jersey

Ever since the capitals switched to their new style of jersey when the reebok edge jerseys came out, I've been a huge fan of them.  Other than the winter classic jerseys they use occasionally the caps don't really have a 3rd jersey anymore.  Year after year I've been waiting in anticipation for the caps to unveil their 3rd jerseys with the eagle on their shoulders as the new primary logo.  It hasn't happened yet, so I took matters into my own hands and decided to design it for them.
