After the controversial banning of the song “The Stripper” while the female is shooting during the ‘Shoot the Puck’ contest, some people are starting to think that they may possibly be getting rid of the Chicago Blackhawks Ice Crew, or at least skimpy their uniforms.

Over the past few seasons, the ice crew ladies have been wearing a somewhat revealing outfit, that shows their mid section, as well as other obvious sections of their bodies. Something that looks like this.

Some might say that the uniforms they are dressed in are fine and the women look hot, but others get offended and think that they need to wear more appropriate clothing.

San Jose Uproar

The San Jose Sharks were recently under-fire because of the new uniforms that their ice crew girls were going to wear this upcoming season, and they’ve got nothing on the Blackhawks Ice Crew.

These are possible uniforms that the Sharks girls were going to wear. People in the silicon valley caused an uproar over these uniforms, so much so, that they even created a Facebook page titled “Say No to Sharks Ice Girls.” These complaints might be a little over the top, but this can happen anywhere, including Chicago.

Is Chicago Any Different?

As far as the Hawks girls are concerned, here are some things to think about.

Do fans come to Blackhawk games to see the ice crew? No, they do not. They come to watch arguably the best team in the NHL score goals, see Coach Q scream at the referee, and win championships.

Are people entertained while these girls are “cleaning” the ice? Possibly, but on the contrary, some might be offended by the lack of clothing that they wear.

What is more important to the Blackhawks organization? Having the girls prance around the ice with next to nothing on, or to keep their reputation and remain in good standing with some fans that may be offended? If the girls wear such revealing outfits, then why don’t the men in the crew wear tank tops and cut-off shorts? Or just the opposite, simply have everyone wear the same uniform — track outfits and wind breakers.

Get Rid of the Excess

If the San Jose Sharks fans have a problem with their ice crew uniforms, it’s only a matter of time before the great fans of Chicago cause protests and controversy over this causing the Blackhawks to make a decision.

The fact of the matter is having these ice crew girls dress in the manner that can potentially hurt the Blackhawks image. The fan-base of the team is one of the best in the world, and they do not need ice girls dressed in revealing clothes in order to keep it that way. They have the right players, coaches and game plan to produce enough entertainment to keep the people coming back.

Objectifying women and having them wear short skirts and bikini tops is just needless sex-appeal. People will soon realize that it is unnecessary, and while the Hawks haven’t gotten any major pressure to change the uniforms and it will undoubtedly come in the near future.
