Sharks Order Replacement After Erroneous Presidents’ Trophy Banner at SAP Center

The team says a printing error mislabeled the season on the new rafters display.

Overview

  • San Jose refreshed its SAP Center rafters this offseason, consolidating six division titles onto one banner and updating other honors.
  • One newly raised banner incorrectly credits the Sharks with a 2015-16 Presidents’ Trophy the team did not win.
  • Team president Jonathan Becher attributed the mistake to a printing error and said a replacement banner has been ordered.
  • The Sharks actually won the Presidents’ Trophy in 2008-09, while 2015-16 was their Western Conference championship season.
  • Beat writer Curtis Pashelka’s photos from the preseason opener on X drew attention to the error, which is now in the process of being corrected.
