Blue Jackets Prototype?

The hockey team insisted at the time that they were not named after the chief.

Good thing, too - they already had a Civil War thing and an insect thing going on. That's too much already, and a third meaning behind the nickname would have tipped them right into absurdity.

Came across this today on Ebay. Anyone have any information on this? I do know that the Blue Jackets were suppose to be named after Chief Blue Jacket of the Shawnee. However, the Blackhawks blocked it, due to similarities.

I actually like that reference a lot better than the Civil War route. I know you'd get a fairly big backlash in today's society for using Native American imaginary ... but, I like it. FWIW.

Well and the fact that at the time they were going to join the same division as the Blackhawks. They would've gotten a lot of backlash, yeah.

That's not as bad as the attempted Kansas City MO-Hawks, but yeah, no way the league lets that fly, especially in Chicago's division.

As for the shirt itself, since it's C9 apparel, and I believe Champion didn't start distributing that brand through Target until at least 2000, that's definitely some sort of homemade reproduction or concept, and not any sort of actual prototype.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
