Paul McCartney Performs In D.C. With Penguins Sticker Still On Guitar
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A sticker on Paul McCartney's guitar is generating some renewed buzz after a show at the Verizon Center Tuesday night.
Pictures began popping up on social media of the legendary singer using a guitar featuring a Pittsburgh Penguins sticker.
In case you didn't know, the Verizon Center is the home of the Washington Capitals.

To be fair, the guitar also features a Detroit Red Wings sticker. That too has some historical significance to Capitals fans. The Red Wings beat the Capitals to win the Stanley Cup in 1998.
Anyway, the stickers are not a calculated moved by McCartney to rile up Caps fans.
According to the Penguins, the sticker dates back to 2010 when McCartney played the first-ever show at CONSOL Energy Center.
The acoustic guitar he only uses for "Yesterday" already had the Red Wings sticker on it. After the show, David Moorehouse and former Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl presented McCartney with a Penguins sticker.
That sticker has been on the guitar ever since.
