I'm also in the minority in thinking those blue Capitals jerseys were just excellent. The worst thing is, the blues were way better than the whites in this case, but the blue jerseys were a victim of the NHL's lame trend of every team making a black jersey. So the white's got a nice long run while the blues were kicked out really quickly.
There's something about that shade of blue mixed with black and gold that just looked great. The jersey design itself would be a little goofy, present day, but if a team came up with a nice design and used that blue, black and goldcombo it would be incredible, imo.
