officeglenn Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/the-process-behind-stanley-cup-winning-gear/CHICAGO — The order was placed the morning after the Blackhawks clinched a trip to the final. The hats and T-shirts have been kept under lock and key ever since.On Monday night, we may finally get to see the final product: “Chicago Blackhawks, 2015 Stanley Cup champions.”When a team lifts the Cup, the official championship gear always seems to appear out of thin air. But it is actually the product of months of planning and an intricate — not to mention sensitive — set of logistics designed to ensure that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.The biggest concern is keeping the losing team’s “championship” apparel from entering the public realm. Hats, T-shirts and towels were also produced before this series with a Tampa Bay Lightning logo on them, but the earliest they can get unpacked is after a potential Game 7 on Wednesday.In the event they lose another game, fans won’t ever get a glimpse.“You put in all sorts of mechanisms and fail-safes to ensure that doesn’t happen,” Brian Jennings, the NHL’s executive vice-president of marketing, told Sportsnet. “To guard against it is always one of those nerve-racking concerns that we have.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
