If you want the Chicago Blackhawks' newest black alternate uniform, a piece that calls back to the 90s, you're going to have to pay Fanatics an astonishing price.
Fans are excited as the Chicago Blackhawks have decided to add an alternate jersey to the fold this season.
In addition to their Centennial Season uniforms, they have made the decision to throw it back to the 90s.
The Blackhawks' legendary Black uniform will make an appearance on the ice this season and will be available for fans if they have the money to pay for it.
The price is astonishing for people who work for a living and have to worry about the cost of insurance, transportation, home payments, and rent.
Be Prepared to Pay an Arm and a Leg for the Chicago Blackhawks' Newest Jersey
See below for the latest ridiculous cost for the Blackhawks' newest jersey from Fanatics.
Keep in mind, this comes without customization, no names or a number on the jersey itself; it's a blank:
If you want to get a piece of history, you might want to check eBay for a different version of this popular jersey worn from the 1990s to the 2000s.
As the Fanatics version is cost-prohibitive, it goes for $460 a piece.
«Originally worn by Tony Amonte, Chris Chelios, Eric Daze and Denis Savard in the 1990s-2000s, these jerseys defined an era and became a symbol of the grit, strength, commitment and legacy that still holds true to today's era of Blackhawks hockey.»
While the legacy behind these jerseys is legendary, and a few more Blackhawks legends wore these, fans won't have the chance to unless they go thrifting for another second-hand version from that time period.
As the Fanatics monopoly is once again ruining sports fandom, this time for Blackhawks fans.
In the meantime, while we all lament the fact that being a fan of an NHL team is expensive, you can catch the Blackhawks in their Black uniforms this season on these dates:
Jan. 9 vs. Washington
Jan. 23 vs. Tampa Bay
Jan. 30 vs. Columbus
March 20 vs. Colorado
March 14 at Vegas
Jan. 23 vs. Tampa Bay
Jan. 30 vs. Columbus
March 20 vs. Colorado
March 14 at Vegas
We love the idea, but hate the execution behind this, as another bit of fandom is put behind a paywall that the majority of fans may not be able to afford.
