The jersey is inspired by the Blackhawks’ jersey from the mid-1950s. The number and name plates feature a thinner font and the secondary logo appears lower on the sleeves.

— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) November 5, 2014 The Blackhawks’ decision to go with a white jersey is in contrast to their two previous appearances in outdoor games, where the club sported a black sweater.
Chicago wore a black throwback inspired design during the 2009 Winter Classic against the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field and then wore a black variation of its regular jersey against the Pittsburgh Penguins in a Stadium Series game last season.

The white will offset the Capitals’ jerseys, which are predominantly red with accents of white and blue.
