Tony Amonte is the poster boy of the Chicago Blackhawks‘ black jerseys, in my mind. When I think of them, I see Amonte skating down the ice with the “C” on his jersey.
These jerseys first came around in the 1990s, which were the first “black” Blackhawks’ jerseys the team wore since the 1930s. Of course, there were the black and red striped ones, but it was different.
In the 2000s, they removed the tan outline on the logo, something that was much-needed.
The black Koho jerseys gave a different feel than the red ones did.
