TED'S EXCELLENT UNIFORM ADVENTURE: OWNER EYES NEW CAPS UNIS

          Capitals Owner Ted Leonsis "has been reviewing
     sketches" for new uniform designs for the team and "intends
     to have them in place this fall," according to Eric Fisher
     of the WASHINGTON TIMES.  Leonsis confirmed the news during
     an online chat with fans and wrote, "We are changing
     everything next year -- new logo, new colors.  We're last in
     the league in sales of merchandise.  We need to change --
     change is good."  The design change would be the team's
     second in five years.  Fisher wrote that there is "no word
     yet on what colors or designs Leonsis is considering" and
     any uniform change "would need to go through a lengthy
     approval process with the NHL" (WASHINGTON TIMES, 3/9).
