Sodboy13 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 So, from the Blackhawks Store on Michigan Avenue, here's the alleged scoop.- First off, still no known date for the unveiling or availability for purchase. So, good work on the holiday sales, NHL marketing department.- Despite the red shirseys for sale, Hawks' Stadium Series jersey will supposedly be BLACK.- It will also apparently stay true to Reebok's template for the other teams. Incomplete sleeve stripes, diagonal numbers, "chrome" crest, angled sides on the hem, all that.- The team allegedly wanted to go for a more traditional throwback - "1960s with a lace-up neck" - but the league (and Reebok, presumably) pushed hard for the template, which would fit with the "Reebok taking the lead" that's been said previously.- The Blackhawks Store doesn't plan on stocking a large number, and the team has no intention of making the jersey an alternate going forward, like they did with their Winter Classic throwbacks. "One and done", I was told.- Piecing all of that together without having seen anything, I'm thinking: old black 3rd, with "chrome" crest & the Stadium Series template quirks, more or less.

njdevs7 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 So from that Blackhawks info, it seems like Reebok really wanted the template look for everyone. I wonder how the Devils were the only team to say no.Also, here are Eddie Lack's pads for the Heritage Classic (although he will probably be on the bench) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Right, can't blame anyone but the teams. Since this series is new, there's likely no language in the contract that stipulates that RBK can force their designs on x of y teams. NJ routinely says FU, and so could anyone else. Maybe RBK is cutting side deals and some teams take them. Either way it's on the team.

The_Admiral Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I wonder how the Devils were the only team to say no.They overheard Lamoriello talking about signing Keith Tkachuk to 42 over 6 with a no-trade and thought it best not to press the issue any further. Others in the Devils organization were worried he would again threaten to "make pee-pants," as he called it, like he did when Jagr wanted to wear a number over 50. Anyway, moving on from the "Lou Lamoriello is rapidly losing his faculties" meme, I'm not at all surprised that the Hawks put up a fight with their uniform. McDonough is pretty defensive of The Brand, having discontinued the 1996 blacks and the Winter Classic alternate once its purpose had been served. But it's no shock they ultimately lost out; this year's Blackhawks have had a lot of trouble stopping other people's power plays. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I like the pens jersey, but the chrome crest looks faded.Better for it to be slightly faded than for it to be excessively overdone to the point where the colours look muted.

Morgan33 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 They don't need a full time third jersey, just cuts into the ice time of the beautiful reds. As one time deal, the above concept by OSM is pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Why does everyone here insist upon the Blackhawks wearing anything in place of their red sweater? Because sometimes they have to play on the road? In all seriousness (and putting team rivalries aside), I generally agree: the reds are great. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Thought would be like having the Cincinnati Reds wearing a jersey that isn't red or the Cleveland Browns wearing a jersey that isn't brown or the St. Louis Blues wearing a jersey that isn't blue full time, like the Blackhawks wear red. There's a logical reason for having the Blackhawks in a black jersey. It would probably be so much better not to have the indian head on the black jersey, because I think the indian head gets lost on it. If you had a beautiful "Chicago" script or something in place of the indian head, it would look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
