Chicago Blackhawks and St.Louis Blues both unveil new Winter Classic jerseys and the original logo is gone
A new Chicago Blackhawks jersey is available to fans for purchase, and the St.Louis Blues follow lead at the same time
On Wednesday, the Chicago Blackhawks and St.Louis Blues have officially unveiled their Winter Classic jerseys which are set to be showcased on December 31st.
The Blues have removed their original logo, while the Blackhawks stick to their old homage.
On New Years Eve, the two teams are set to clash for an awesome holiday treat for hockey fans.
The jerseys will be available beginning Wednesday across the Fanatics network of sites, including NHLShop.com and NHLShop.ca, the NHL Shop NYC flagship store, the Blackhawks Store and Madhouse Team Store in Chicago, and STL Authentics in St. Louis. Additional NHL Winter Classic merchandise, including winter hats, outerwear and more, will also be available beginning Wednesday with more items launching in the lead-up to the game.
Check out the official first look in video of Nick Foligno and Connor Bedard showcasing these beautiful threads.
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. The front crest includes stars from the Chicago flag and the back numbers incorporate subtle pinstripes, a tribute to Chicago's deep baseball tradition, since the game is being played at the home of the Chicago Cubs.
Standstill photos were also released, and who other than Connor Bedard to showcase the new sweaters?
Both jerseys are beautiful, but the real question is-which one is your favorite?
Would you buy one of these Winter Classic jerseys or are they too familiar to past jerseys?
Has Chicago not had a variation of this jersey 4 different times before?
