Brendan Witt Lapel Pin

Related Topics: Brendan Witt

Once upon a time, defenseman Brendan Witt manned the Caps’ blueline. Mr. @whitemooseranch was a fan favorite, which the Caps officially acknowledged with a giveaway. This being before bobbleheads took over stadium giveaways (except for obvious choices, like Chris Simon), the Caps gave him something that most players never got made: Souvenir lapel pins.

Question for the readers: Does anyone remember when this was given away? Witt was drafted by the Caps and played with them from 1995–96 to 2005–06, so I suppose it happened sometime during that period.

While NHL team lapel pins are easily found, there are few individual players who have one.
