A photo of the fan was captured in Brandon Manitoba, and he was wearing what appears to be a custom hockey jersey, which is adorned with the number 911, and the name Bin Laden stitched across the back.
While the front of the jersey cannot be clearly seen, the colour scheme certainly matches that of the Edmonton Oilers. The Twitter/X user who took the photo revealed that the front says "Afghanistan" and the shoulder patches are the Twin Towers.
Regardless of which team the fan roots for, I think we can all agree that his sense of humour is in very poor taste.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed on September 11, 2001 when two planes collided with the World Trade Center and another crashed into the Pentagon. Thousands more were injured in the attacks.
Is anyone else wondering which embroiderer actually committed to stitching this? Because they're equally idiotic.
