The Blackhawks Were Excited To Release The New Classic Look
Blackhawks Chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz released the following statement about the team's excitement for the release of the new classic look:
"The long-awaited black alternate jersey returns this season as we celebrate 100 years of Blackhawks hockey, giving a nod to some of the greatest players to ever wear the sweater. 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."
Given the strong start the Blackhawks have enjoyed so far this year, the new black sweater that goes back to a previous strong era of Chicago hockey brings another level of excitement for the fans.
