wildwing64 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thing is the Blackhawks are named after a military unit named after a person. The name has very little to do with the colour black.I don't mind if they have a black alternate uniform but that red jersey is good enough that they don't really need one. If they were to replace the red jersey with a black one full time, the name would sort of lose its meaning. They're not the Black Hawks. At least, not anymore anyway.

wonderbread Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The whites are the best in all of sportsnot their reds are the best in all of sports, but there whites are a lot worse and make it so IMO the bruins have a better overall look along all of there jerseys. the whites just seem a lot more disjointed to the red.

BJ Sands Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The reds are part of the experience of going to a Hawks game at the UC these days. If I were going to my first game I'd be sorely disappointed if they wore anything but that. The Blackhawks might be the best argument for dark at home these days.

hormone Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Why should Chicago wear anything but red...Because there are 82 regular season games. I don't want a pink/camo/American flag uni, just an alt for 2-8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The whites are the best in all of sportsI don't know. Blacks are pretty good at basketball.Seriously though, the red jerseys are so much better than the whites. The white jerseys are fine, and I don't want them changed, but they can't hold a candle to the reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The whites are the best in all of sportsThe only real argument for this is that those white jerseys have been re-used in different colors by teams in pretty much every league on the continent. I dare say it's the most used jersey pattern in hockey. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The whites are the best in all of sportsSeriously though, the red jerseys are so much better than the whites. The white jerseys are fine, and I don't want them changed, but they can't hold a candle to the reds.The reds are great. So great that they shouldn't have an alternate preventing us from seeing it any of the 41 home games each year. I used to think the whites were just average, but I've grown to like them a little more over the past year.The black jerseys have never been good. I'd say they were below average in the league at best when they were around and that's a shame considering they took the spot of the red jerseys that's the best in the league. The red stripes were hard to see against the black jersey and the hair on the crest blends right in the jersey. I'm glad those are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just because it's on Wikipedia, does not make it true. But, even if they were named after a military unit or person, whatever that story is, it has black in the name, and therefore logically, they should have a black jersey.

Sodboy13 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Agreed. Wings white v. Hawks red > Wings red v. Hawks white.On the more modern side, I think the Jets' and Stars' whites are both stunners, and both better than their color counterparts.
