Edmonton Capitals News Release
Edmonton, AB - A little blast of winter in early spring didn't stop the boys of summer from an exciting unveiling of the Edmonton Capitals new uniform and logo. The Caps rolled out their new look by rolling up to Churchill Square and a baseball game broke out in front of hundreds of curious onlookers in the downtown core. The new jerseys decked out in white, Edmonton Oilers blue and Vintage Oilers orange have a traditional look to them while creating an appeal for the younger fan.
"One of the most exciting aspects of launching a new brand is to give it an identity and see that identity come to life." said Edmonton Oilers President & CEO and Capitals Governor Patrick LaForge. "You can tell this team belongs in the Oilers' family and the kids will have fun with a new character that will really make its mark on the Edmonton sports scene."
The primary logo on the shoulder patch features the new Edmonton Capitals super hero character whom fans will have a chance to name in an upcoming contest. He appears standing with his arms crossed, holding a baseball with Edmonton's downtown horizon in the background all framed with a cape and set in front of a spectacular, signature Edmonton River Valley sunset.
"The players are going to love it." exclaimed Capitals Manager Brent Bowers. "Any professional ball player should take a lot of pride when they put that jersey on every day. Our new jersey is definitely something to be proud of. The new logo and colors have a fresh, clean look that this ball team needs."
Edmonton native Sheehan May is the winner of the Capitals 'Design The Logo' contest and will receive 2 Edmonton Capitals Season Seats in the reserved grandstand plus a plaque displayed at Telus Field recognizing his contribution to the team.
