The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois. They have won three Stanley Cup Championships and thirteen division titles since their founding in 1926. The Blackhawks are one of the Original Six NHL teams, along with the Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings. The Chicago Blackhawks joined the NHL in 1926 as part of the league’s first wave of expansion into the US. They were one of three American teams added that year, along with the Detroit Cougars (now the Detroil Red Wings) and New York Rangers.

In the 2007-08 NHL season, the Chicago Blackhawk did not deviate much from their previous Chicago Blackhawks jerseys. The only exception is a new collar with the NHL logo and a baseball-style cut along the bottom. For the 2009 Winter Classic, the Blackhawks wore jerseys based on the design worn in the 1936-37 season. The jersey is predominantly black with a large beige stripe across the chest and on the sleeves, with a red border, and an old-style circular Black Hawks logo. It is still the basic logo with minor changes created by the founder’s wife in 1926.
