The new ESPN the Magazine came out this week with their NHL Preview for the 2009-10 season, and right smack in front of everyone are four members of the Chicago Blackhawks: Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Cristobal Huet and Marian Hossa.

Wow. No pressure, kids.

In honor of their national magazine cover shot, let's take a look back at some other Chicago sports players, both icons and busts, that have graced the covers of magazines throughout the years.

Old school baseball

Before they played a cross-town classic, the managers lived up to the title.

Ron Santo

He's been as much a part of the Cubs organization after his playing days ended as he was on the field as an All-Star.

Blackhawks Legends

The current cover would be lucky to someday be as respected as the men on this classic SI cover.

The Golden Jet

Just like I said on the previous slide, if anyone on the current roster is ever held in as much esteem, or has a son that's half as good as Bobby Hull did, they'll be lucky.

Sweetness

If the current Hawks would be lucky to be as good as the older players on the older covers, any player on the cover of SI would be lucky to be as respected as Walter Payton.

Maggie

That's one expensive grill!

Just ask his dentist.

Leon Durham

Needed a better glove for about two seconds in 1984.

Super Bears

Display_image

In my opinion, still the best defense ever.

Jimmy Mac

Like the classic Bond title song said, "nobody does it better."

Ryno

Display_image

Back when $3 or $4 million was a lot of money.

Michael

Display_image

He did a few covers...

Some good...

Display_image

Some not so good...

Display_image

Some real...

Display_image

Some legendary

Display_image

Back when Urlacher was just a bacher...

Display_image

They're so cute at that age...

What jinx?

Display_image

No... seriously...

Believe?

Display_image

Somebody has to. Right?

How'd that one work out?

Display_image

Super Bears v.2

Display_image

A great defense. And Rex Grossman.

Clean Sox

Display_image

And new rings.

Speaking of Champions

Display_image

Did I mention he smokes?

Kosuke

Display_image

Yeah. That went well...

The New Generation

Display_image

That's Jay Cutler?

Display_image

There's a really talented artist somewhere in Chicago with Cutler's chins on his cutting room floor.

Nice hair, Jay.

What better way to end than...

Display_image

Perfection.
