There was controversy following Corey Perry's media availability when he was introduced to the Chicago Blackhawks fans.
The podium's color scheme appeared to be in line with the Blackhawks' colors, but it's unclear if this was intentional or an oversight in the arrangement process.
Despite being relatively new, the podium failed to meet the team's quality control standards.
The arrangement of the stripes and colors evoked memories of a bygone era, which sparked outrage on Twitter.
Many accused the team of failing to acknowledge the similarities between their design and the one used by the Nazis.
oh hell fucking no !
NOOOOOOOOOO
While black, white, and red are the official color scheme of the Blackhawks, it would have been wise to avoid replicating any harmful historical period in their design.
Dude how is this real
Is that. Real?!
This mistake was a huge fumble on a day that should have been all about introducing Corey Perry to the team's fans and staff.
