Tom Wilson’s Wilson Bobblehead Gets Lost, Resurfaces

For Halloween in 2015, Caps forward Tom Wilson dressed up as Wilson the Volleyball from the movie Castaway (while teammate Michael Latta dressed up as Tom Hanks). In 2016, the Capitals held a vote for a stadium giveaway bobblehead, in which Braden Holtby won by a landslide. The other options were Justin Williams with his hair up high, and Wilson wearing his halloween costume. For the 2019-20 season, the Caps announced that Wilson would finally be getting that bobblehead, but Covid-19 changed things. Two season later, and about six years after the original costume, the Caps gave out a bobblehead of Wilson wearing the costume on Oct. 27 against the Detroit Red Wings, but with the Caps logo instead of the Wilson painting.
