Blackhawks Reveal Epic Black Uniforms in Hype Video to Celebrate Historic 100 Years

On Friday, the Chicago Blackhawks showed off their throwback, all-black uniforms, which will be worn as alternates during the 2025-26 season.

In a post on X, the Blackhawks noted that the unis, which first debuted during the 1996-97 season, are part of the franchise's 100th anniversary celebration, which is taking place throughout the 2025-26 campaign:

Best known for their red jerseys, the Blackhawks created the alternate black jerseys in the mid-1990s and wore them through the 2008-09 season.

With the exception of their 2014 Stadium Series game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Blackhawks have not worn any variation of that particular black jersey since 2009.

The Blackhawks are performing above expectations this season, as they currently hold the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and the return of the black uniforms will provide even more excitement to an already entertaining season.
