Chicago Blackhawks receive backlash for officially removing their historic team logo from player area

As an Original Six franchise, the Chicago Blackhawks are one of the most storied organizations in the League, and the way things happen there is seen, considered, and respected by other teams, even some in other sports.

However, they made a massive change that hasn't been well received so far.

On social media, a new post criticizing the team is going viral.

Hockey is a sport of traditions, and the Blackhawks changed something that has been that way for decades.

Indeed, the organization decided to remove the team's logo from the floor of the locker room.

This sadly appears to be one step closer to removing the teams logo officially, or even a name change.

The Chicago Blackhawks reporter Tab Bamford shared the news on X:

Jaime Faulkner, President of Business Operations for the Blackhawks, has been targeted by fans' backlash for that decision, although it hasn't been confirmed it was her idea:

In fact, that change was made last year. The logo wasn't removed from the room.

There's an unwritten rule in hockey that no one is allowed to step on the logo in locker rooms.

Now, it'll be impossible to do so in Chicago, and everyone will be able to walk wherever in the room.

What also deserves to be highlighted is the new center ice logo at United Center. Ahead of the Centennial season, the organization decided to change the logo on the ice for one made especially for the historic season.

Per Chicago Blackhawks reporter Charlie Roumeliotis:
