Late Sunday night, the Caps traded Brooks Laich, at the time the longest tenured Capital. That distinction now belongs to Alex Ovechkin, who is now the last current Capital to wear the black and bronze jerseys. The Caps changed their jersey and logo after the 2005-06 season to the red and white we know today, and “Rock The Red” was born.
It has indeed been a whole decade since the Caps changed jerseys, but that’s not the only thing that’s changed. The Caps have their fifth different coach, and had to adjust their playing styles with each one.
