Historical NotesT-shirt from first "whiteout" home game during the 2008 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings. Every person in attendance at the game received this type of t-shirt to wear during the game, causing the entire audience to appear completely white in order to distract the opposing team. The Red Wings defeated the Penguins 4 games to 2.
