The Blackhawks debuted their new green jerseys — a not-so-well-kept secret for the past weeks — on Monday against the Avalanche.
They’re quite similar to the jerseys the Hawks used to wear for St. Patrick’s Day before the NHL banned specialty warmup jerseys in 2023. The color theme is built out from the green second feather in the primary logo, and the shoulders are adorned with the alternate “crossed C” logo.
Those green St. Patrick’s jerseys have long been popular, and you’ll typically see a few fans donning them at the United Center at any given game. In the past, not many NHL teams had been able to pull off a color outside their usual scheme so well.
But that changed Monday with the official release of the Hometown Remix, Fanatics’ new set of alternate jerseys for all 32 teams.
There are some striking, unique looks in the collection. The Panthers nailed their pink “Miami Vice” sweater, as did the Ducks with their green, purple and yellow “Mighty Ducks” sweater. The Kings now have a new purple throwback jersey, the Bruins now have a brown jersey and a bunch of teams now have black jerseys with vivid accents.
The originality and creativity of many of those jerseys likely contributed to a lackluster fan reaction toward the Hawks’ new green sweaters, considering those have already been done before in almost identical form.
They’re also quite similar to the Stars’ regular home jerseys, which many people pointed out.
Here are the official photos of the Blackhawks’ new green Hometown Remix jersey, which they’ll debut tonight against the Avalanche.
Also wearing them 12/29 vs Vegas and four times in March.

It’s worth noting there are a few differences from the old St. Patrick’s jerseys. The secondary color is tan, not white, and the collar is now black (with tan laces below it). Four stars — like those in the Chicago flag — are embossed into the sleeve stripes. I personally liked the brownish-tan gloves the Hawks wore Monday.
But Hawks fans have been inundated with jersey releases lately, considering the team wore special red Centennial jerseys last season and also debuted new black jerseys — a nostalgic throwback to the 1990s — last November that remain in the rotation this season.
And given the team’s on-ice struggles, it might simply be impossible for the fan base to get too excited about anything right now.
The Hawks will wear these new green jerseys again on Dec. 29 against the Golden Knights, plus four times between March 8-16 leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. They typically wear their black alternate jerseys on Fridays.
