Arlington, Va. – The Washington Capitals unveiled today a special Cherry Blossom Capitals jersey as well as Capitals Cherry Blossom merchandise available for purchase at the Team Stores.
The jersey, designed by Washington, D.C., based artist Taylor Kampa Olson of TKOPaintings, is being auctioned off with proceeds benefitting Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation (MSE Foundation).
The MSE Foundation fundraiser will open at washcaps.com/CherryBlossomAuction on Sunday, March 24 at 11 a.m. and run through 3 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2.
Due to popular demand, the jersey is based off the 2022-23 cherry blossom jersey design, updated this year against a sky-blue jersey background.
