The Chicago Blackhawks are in the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1992, and that makes today’s Hot Button topic an easy one.
Pictured is an officially licensed 3-inch button on eBay from an era in the 1970s when the Blackhawks, “made the playoffs every year, winning seven division championships in the decade in all – but were never a successful Stanley Cup contender.”
History changed last night in Chicago, and future button designs will tell a new story. Just “don’t touch the cup!“
