During every single non-Comcast broadcast of a Caps home game I've seen, every announcer always cites how difficult it is to read the names and numbers on the back of the black sweaters. This annoys me to no end because it gives them the opening to call almost all the Caps (AO, Kolzig, Zubrus, Halpern excluded), in a literal sense, "no-name players" since they can't really identify them.

When on earth are they getting new, more legible sweaters?

Well you fit into this town perfectly.

My guess would be next season; why else did they make the STH present this year a Koho black? Getting rid of overstock (although if that's really what they did, they should have had the Overstock.com chick on hand to pass them out).

Looking forward to new colors for the new kids, but unless they give me one, I may have bought my last jersey for a long while- I looked ahead a few years, and got a Yunkov Soviet Wings' (away) game-worn this year. Put that with Yogi, which I use for autographs, and the Jagr black I won at the airport, and I'm good for probably the life of the new CBA.

I currently have a Sutherby away sweater. I was pondering getting a Halpern black sweater with the 'C' on it, but if they come up with a new design for next season, I'll get an AO home sweater.
