Material - Air-Knit
Numbers - The numbers are three-color tackle-twill numbers with black on white on bronze for home and white on black on bronze for the road jerseys. The numbers are layered so that there is only one full layer. The home jerseys have the black layer on the bottom, then a thin bronze outline sewn on top of the black and then a very thin white outline layer on top. Likewise, the road jerseys have the white layer on the bottom, then bronze, then black. This technique of layering is called reverse kiss-cut. The numbers for the third jersey are bronze on blue on white, where the bronze layer is on the bottom with an outline of white and then a thin outline of blue on the top.
Namebar - The letters are three-color tackle-twill letters in the same color scheme as the numbers attached to a namebar made of Airknit material. The letters are layered exactly like the numbers. The letters of the third jersey are arched along the bottom with the beginning and end of the name being taller than the middle.

Set 1 - For the home jerseys, the set 1 stamp is on a white cloth strip that is heatpressed onto the back hem of the jersey and reads "CUSTOMISED EXCLUSIVLY FOR THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS by CUTTING EDGE SPORTS SET#1 1997-98". Note that the word exclusively is spelled incorrectly. For the road blue jerseys it is stamped behind the crest and very hard to read. I believe it says "Customised for the Washington Capitals by Cutting Edge Sports 1997-98 set#1". The set stamp for the third jersey is located in the sleeve and is stamped in blue and red and reads "Customized by Cutting Edge Sports for the Washington Capitals set#1 1997-98".
