Chicago Blackhawks analyst Tab Bamford recently tweeted Chicago's apparent plans to bring back their 90s era black sweater before deleting it, sparking some excitement among fans of the potential return.
The Chicago Blackhawks are playing in their 100th year in the NHL, and they've marked the occasion with special sweaters and a new center ice logo acknowledging their history.
But is there another alternate sweater on the way that harkens back to the classic black look of the 90s?
Blackhawks analyst Tab Bamford recently tweeted a teaser picture of a potential 3rd black sweater that Chicago could be wearing on certain occasions this year before eventually deleting it.
The Blackhawks confirmed that a black sweater was coming back
Over the summer, Blackhawks President of Business Operations Jaime Faulkner made a guest appearance on the CHGO Blackhawks Podcast and confirmed that the classic black sweater from the 90s was going to make a comeback at some point.
»We're gonna bring the black jersey back eventually, but we're focused on the centennial jersey. Every year for the past couple years, we've had a new jersey, so we don't want to overload our fans with jerseys to buy.
It's gonna come back eventually. I promise, we're bringing them back.»
It's gonna come back eventually. I promise, we're bringing them back.»
»You have to design these jerseys a year and a half in advance, everything is way ahead. Our team and our partnership with Fanatics had all sorts of options for us....it's a classic, why would we mess with this jersey?»
Many Blackhawks players over the years have had great moments in the black sweater, including Tony Amonte, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, and Patrick Sharp.
With the Blackhawks off to a hot start this year, it would be another layer of excitement added for the fans.
