The Caps being the first (and possibly last) team to do keg stands with the Cup is the best thing I’ve read

I think I found my spirit animal and it is this ref. For reference this is Mike Leggo. He’s also the “you can’t do that” ref.

Fun fact that a lot of people dont know about the Kachina logo:

When the first Winnipeg team relocated, the new Coyotes owners met with local indigenous leaders and artists to design the Kachina logo we all know and love today, in order to be regionally and culturally respectful.

The image itself is a representation of the Hopi trickster spirit, Coyote. Now, you may question the wisdom of naming your hockey team after a trickster spirit, but we’re already way past that. 

The angular design itself is based off of the Hopi Kachina dolls, figures made from cottonwood root representing spirits, forces of nature, or ancestors of the Hopi tribe. Be aware that different tribes in the Pueblo culture have their own Kachina dolls with their own styling, and the logo was drawn to genuinely Hopi.

The jerseys themselves take inspiration from a different tribe.  The iconic patterning around the waist, collar, and sleeves are drawn from the famous blankets of the Navajo tribe.

As mentioned in the OP, these designs have been given the blessings of both tribes.

The great irony of my tumblr career is being known for Kemper pics when I deeply, truly, and hormonally believe he and Chandler Stephenson are the same kind of babe and that Chandler is the babelier
