The NHL is suggesting fans honor Harambe on their custom jerseys

Wednesday afternoon, the NHL’s online shop updated the pre-filled text on their customized jersey pages and Twitter is going to love this.

I’ll let reader Sam C. explain.

I went online to look at getting a customized jersey of Nate Schmidt (America’s Smiling Hero) and scrolled down to see internet nirvana. The pre-filled text read 69 HARAMBE.

Here’s a screenshot of what Sam saw.

Thinking this was either a momentary glitch or that Sam was hallucinating, I went to a customized jersey pages myself. I saw the same exact thing – except sometimes other numbers showed up instead of 69.

The NHL will also never forget you, Harambe.

(Somebody’s totally getting fired for this.)

5:30PM Update: The pre-filled text no longer exists but that was fun for 30 minutes.
