8. Adolf Eichmann and the Vancouver Canucks
Eichmann is known as "the architect of the Holocaust", as he was in charge of the transportation of Jews to internment camps. He was caught hiding out in Argentina in 1960, and executed in Israel as a war criminal.
The Canucks first sported these safety vests in 1979 until finally being replaced in 1986.
What's the connection?
They appear to have worked for the transportation department until finally being killed, much too late.
7. Rudolf Hess and the Seattle Seahawks
Rudolf Hess was Hitler's top deputy, until, for unknown reasons, he crashed a plane in Scotland. Theories on this strange flight range from defection, to an attempt for peace, to the man just being insane.
The Seahawks expanded on their neon green stripe idea until it encompassed their entire torso, and the helmet is still a different shade of blue than the rest of the jersey. So far it has only made a few appearances this season.
What's the connection?
They've got a scheme that is just mind-boggling, and may never be understood.
