CS85 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 looks good, i will miss the black alt from the last era, but this is still quality stuff. Yes sir, I do like it!

Sodboy13 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I feel like the tan and red on the shoulder logos should be switched. Either that, or there needs to be another color in there somehow. It just doesn't look right - but maybe that's simply because I'm so used to seeing the bright yellow "C".

STL FANATIC Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I wish they'd remove the space in "Black Hawks". For a strict retro it belongs, but for a retro-inspired alternate, there's no reason not to update it with the correct team name.

The_Admiral Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 It's not two words, it's just the poor kerning that comes with writing "Blackhawks" in a circle. "So fix the kerning, stupid." True, but Well they shouldn't even bother with this in the first place, to be honest. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenatorJake Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is it just me, or is the logo on their new alternate much paler than the logo on their Winter Classic jerseys? I think I liked the more colourful logo better.The Blackhawks are known for their colourful "Chief Blackhawk". Why mess with such a good thing?

IceCap Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well I will miss the old black alternates, those were some of my favourite 'Hawks sweaters to be honest. These Winter Classic throwback-inspired alternates are alright as well. My only problem is the old style Native head. If they're going to tweak the original sweater design to bring it more into line with the current set by putting the C/tomahawks on the shoulders then they could at least use the current logo in the crest. Something like this.

In 1986 the team "discovered" that they were founded as the Blackhawks and standardized on that, while formally accepting the space as part of their name prior to that year.The result being that, regardless of how the name was intended to be spelled originally, the team was the Black Hawks from 1926 to 1986 and has been the Blackhawks since.

The_Admiral Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yeah, the propagation of the two-word nickname came from poor kerning on the original crest. I like Black Hawks better, though. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waleslax Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is it just me, or is the logo on their new alternate much paler than the logo on their Winter Classic jerseys? I think I liked the more colourful logo better.The Blackhawks are known for their colourful "Chief Blackhawk". Why mess with such a good thing?On the authentics, the face is fairly pale. On many of the knock-off's, he has a very dark yellow tint. The authentics also have the logo sewn onto felt, whereas the knock-off's have the entire crest made out of that awful shiney material that they also use on the numbers.If I had been in charge on this one, I'd probably have liked to see just the indian head. I think the '67 version would have been a nice fit. Since the team decided to use this one though, I would have liked for them to have made the crest larger, extending from the top of the top red stripe to the bottom of the bottom red stripe; if not just a tad further. That would make it the same size as the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
