The Most Requested Jersey In Blackhawks History Returns.
In 1996-97, we ignited something electric—a black alternate that would become one of the most striking and beloved jerseys in hockey. Originally worn by Tony Amonte, Chris Chelios, Eric Daze and Denis Savard in the 1990s-2000s, these jerseys defined an era and became a symbol of the grit, strength, commitment and legacy that still holds true to today’s era of Blackhawks hockey.
Now, as we celebrate 100 years of Blackhawks hockey, this iconic sweater returns—not as a throwback, but as a power-up, a visual upgrade that amplifies everything that makes the Blackhawks visually iconic. Under the United Center lights, it's impossibly cool. In the stands, it's absolute awe.
This is the jersey that bridged eras. That commanded attention. That generations of fans have been asking us to bring back. Only a limited number will be made to commemorate our Centennial season.
Tomorrow I will be wheels down in the greatest place to play college hockey in the world. Within city limits of ‘The Paris of The Prairie’s’ lies hockeys most sacred kingdom. The Taj Mahal of sport. The Palace of Pain. The Cathedral of combat. The 8th wonder of the world known to locals and siouxper fans worldwide as “The Ralph”. The Ralph Engelstad Arena pays homage to all those who walked before. A building littered in Sioux heads, tradition and tribute. The second you step inside the majestical 12,000+ leather seat arena, it gives you a pulse. If the walls could talk they would be screaming at you to hold no bars. Take no prisoners and fkn punch them in the mouth first. A Sioux warrior was a member of the Sioux Nation. Valued for bravery, skill, toughness and sacrifice. From the time I started bleeding green in 1993 I never wanted to be a part of anything more. The bonds and friendships I have made because of the university of North Dakota I am forever indebted. Those are my dawgs and we embodied what it meant to be a Sioux (still do). North Dakota is home to me. My entire family is from that great state and this weekend means more than anything to us. I will leave you with this, F*ck The Minnesota Gophers and Roll Tribe baby!! My blood is boiling at a smooth 450 right now. Check ur god dam pulse and let’s go rodent hunting!!
