I do, too.</p>

...but, except for their first WC Jersey, last year's outdoor game jersey is just a tweeked version of the black alternate jersey they wore in the past and the jersey for the upcoming WC is just a tweeked version of their white road jersey.  Not much imagination, IMHO.</p>

The black alternates are the best jerseys in sports. It's a shame they took them away.


Just like all this cold/cloudy weather took away Toews' tan.

I still have a black jersey (replica). It's been lucky every time I've worn it to a game. First time I wore it was at a Hawks game in Maple Leaf Gardens, Hawks win!</p>

This jersey would be fine if they would have used the 1957 Indianhead. By using the 2014/2015 logo it looks just like the current jersey with different lettering.</p>

On the flipside, I think this is a testament to how classic our current jersey is. It is relatively unchanged through the history of the team, like the other Original Six franchises. How many jerseys have teams like Anaheim gone through? Yawn. Besides the jersey cut, this is the same Blackhawks jersey design since I was born 33 years ago.</p>

Radical, they want a throwback look, which the President says we've never done before.</p>

We could have always gone back to the barber pole jerseys. I was hoping for that, honestly, but these aren't too bad. I'm just glad we'll be playing on New Years Day. It will make for a great start to the new year.</p>

Yea, I wish they had the crest that was cira the period of the rest of the design of the jersey (which might be enough for me not to buy one), but I like what they have done. Would have loved the white from the 1st season or the whites from the 1940s.


As far as changing the jersey, there have been quite a number of changes to the jersey over the history of the team, just not for a long time (other than 3rds and specials). http://www.nhluniforms.com/Blackhawks/Blackhawks.html

My favorite teams
  1. Portland Timbers
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
Not impressed really, but honestly they aren't the worst that I've seen.</p>

I agree, the indianhead from the 50's would have looked better and made it more distinctive.  I wonder if the powers that be were worries about some kind of a backlash for using an older logo.</p>

Don't love, don't hate it. It's sort of... blah.

Same here, although they've started growing on me, especially after seeing what Washington is wearing.</p>
