After years of requests from fans, the black jersey is officially back.

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 hold true to today's era of Blackhawks hockey." - Blackhawks Chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz
"Our fans were part of making it an icon under the United Center lights. They've been asking for this moment, and we couldn't wait to give this back to them as the next generation takes the ice." - Jaime Faulkner, President of Business Operations.
