"Aliaksei not only saw his younger brother score a goal, but he also publicly debuted his newest lid, a bold navy-blue hat featuring a patch with a realistic design of an eagle along with his nickname, 'Pro.' The design plays off the Capitals' Screaming Eagle logo, which is becoming a more prominent part of the team's branding by the day."
"The lid is notable because it's made by Goorin Bros., a hat company made famous in hockey circles by Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Evgeni Malkin. Long a fan and wearer of the brand's hats, Malkin began wearing a custom lid with a realistic penguin and his nickname 'Geno' five years ago."
Aliaksei Protas attended a Hershey Bears game in February to support his younger brother Ilya, a Capitals prospect. During the game, Protas publicly debuted a custom navy-blue hat made by Goorin Bros., featuring a realistic eagle design and his nickname 'Pro.' The hat design references the Capitals' Screaming Eagle logo, which has become increasingly prominent in the team's branding. Goorin Bros. gained recognition in hockey through Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin, who wears a custom penguin hat. Protas, who is friendly with Malkin and part of the Capitals' Russian contingent, created this custom hat independently.
