Washington Capitals make Caesars Sportsbook first NHL jersey-patch partner
The Washington Capitals became the first NHL team to sign a deal in the league’s jersey advertising program, inking a deal Friday with Caesars Entertainment Inc.
Terms of the agreement, which takes effect with the 2022-23 season, were not announced.
Under the deal, the Caesars Sportsbook logo will be sewn onto Capitals home and third jerseys and displayed during home games played at Capital One Arena. The NHL program authorized patches of 3 inches by 3.5 inches.
The patch deal follows the opening of the Caesars Sportsbook at the arena in May. The new agreement also allows for a Caesars hospitality space and VIP seating at Capital One Arena.
The league’s jersey program permits up to two jersey sponsors per team, with one sponsor on the home sweaters and another on road jerseys. The Capitals said they will announce the away jersey sponsor later.
