Capitals spell out ‘ALL CAPS’ with rally towels for Game OneHeadline photo: @Capitals
On Tuesday afternoon, the Capitals announced that they would be giving away rally towels and light sticks before Games One and Two of their First Round matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Like they did during the 2018 playoff run, the Capitals are getting creative with their rally towel presentation. Last year, they spelled out “Unleash the Fury,” created a hockey player, and made a giant Stanley Cup.
For Game One against the Hurricanes, the Capitals have opted to spell out “ALL CAPS” using the rally towels on the seats at Capital One Arena.
