0191: Blackhawks Re-Bourne

It's been a while since we last saw an entry into the Re-Bourne series by Andrew Bourne. We pick it up with a very stripped-down set of jerseys for the Chicago Blackhawks. Thoughts?

Ask any hockey fan to name the top five best jerseys in the league. I bet Chicago will be on every list. Chicago has a classic style and is the class of the league. It is very hard to even try to improve their style, but I took a whack at it with a giant stick called, 'history'.

0099: Two Ways to Use the Tomahawks

Today we're looking at some alternate jersey alternatives for the Chicago Blackhawks — both centered around the club's tomahawk-laden secondary logo. Brian Brideau's design actually doesn't use that logo directly, but rather a modified version that features the year of the team's founding. It could work great for a future Winter Classic what with the abundance of old-timey stripes and all.

Justin Wiltron's attempt is much simpler and to the point. Make it black and put the actual tomahawk logo on the front. Why hasn't this been done yet? It doesn't look bad at all. In fact, as Blackhawks jerseys go, I kind of like this one.

0089: Vintage Blackhawks

Recently, Micah Loyed's work was the subject of a concepts series called Vintage Week. Afterward, he wanted to throw in one more idea. This is what he put together for the Blackhawks. I really do like the simplified crest design.

0049: A Classic Midwest Match-up

It's Saturday and that means the start of another Winter Classic Weekend, doesn't it? For the moment we'll all pretty Toronto-ed and Detroit-ed out. So let's look beyond 2013? I bet the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues would make good partners for an outdoor extravaganza — especially, now that the Blues are playing like a good hockey team again. And these two jerseys by frequent IceHL contributor Chance Waddell look fantastic to me. In fact, why do we even need to wait for a Winter Classic to see them? Let's get them on the ice as alternates now!

Chance wrote in the other day to say he revised his Blackhawks Winter Classic jersey to make it "a little less stripey." I think it works both ways. But there you have it.

0017: Black for the Blackhawks Revisited

The Chicago Blackhawks' uniforms are among the most recognizable in all of sports. Because of that, it's always difficult to propose a new concept. The designers of the Hawks' 2009 Winter Classic uniform proved they were equal to the task. But after two years of using it as a third jersey, the team has let the black go by the wayside. Kris Lutes wants to bring it back — but with a few changes that make it look a little more like a Blackhawks sweater. I think he managed.
