The seventh in the line of Winter Classic games played since 2008, the 2015 edition took place in Washington at Nationals Park where over 40,000 witnessed the Washington Capitals squeak out a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks. This Capital’s alternate captain’s jersey was worn in the warm-up prior to the contest by Swedish centerman Nicklas Backstrom. Size tagging and a Reebok name band are attached to the collar, with “2015 NHL Winter Classic” screened-on, along with NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Featuring “Capitals” along with a large “W” in textured twill across the chest, the tie-neck garment has been adorned with textured double-twill numbers and name-on-nameplate. Embroidered blue and white stars grace each sleeve along with the upper chest, with the important 2015 Winter Classic crest situated over the right shoulder. With just a few faint marks on the lower left front near the seam, the solid burgundy sweater remains in gorgeous condition. A MeiGray patch numbered L01096 sits on the inside hem, and according to their population report, the jersey is an "NHLPA Set - Worn During Warmup - 1/1/15 at Nationals Park / Red w/A - Winter Classic 1/1/15 at Nationals Park" example. An LOA from the NHLPA will accompany.
