Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues announce surprise jersey change
The Chicago Blackhawks will face off against their rival the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, February 8th.
The Blues and Blackhawks will face off again, this Saturday, February 8th, as the team has two games left in their series.
Since Jim Montgomery has taken over they have improved their record. Over their last twenty-two games, they're 11-8-3.
One of those eleven victories was over the Blackhawks in the Winter Classic, leading the Blackhawks in their three-game series 1-0-0.
The two faced off at historic Wrigley Field, a star-studded event that saw the Blues win 6-2 over the Sorensen-led Hawks.
Now, we need them to hold the line this weekend. They'll take on their rivals, on the Blues' home ice.
But the game will feature a neat dressing, as the two teams will throw it back once more as they wear their Winter Classic jerseys.
Chicago's uniforms are an homage to the Blackhawks' Original Six heritage featuring a distinctive crest and felt numbers. The Blues uniform is based on a 1966 prototype, featuring a Blue Note on the shoulder.
Chicago's uniform pays homage to the Blackhawks' rich heritage, while introducing distinctive new design elements. The jersey features a classic lace-neck collar, reminiscent of hockey's early days, complemented by a vintage cream color that captures the nostalgic spirit of the Original Six era.
Not only are the uniforms classic, but the rivalry itself is steeped in history, much like the designs of the jerseys.
The Blackhawks will need to conjure the team of old, to dig themselves out of the hole they're in after a sad loss to the Panthers.
As it stands now, they're 16-31-5 with 37 points in the Central Division--a record that places them last and puts them in contention for a top pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
While we got to experience them once on the ice this season, it'll be nice to see them wear them once more in a fierce rivalry, this time in the Enterprise Center.
