According to James Neveau of NBC Chicago, the black-and-white shirts pay homage to the Blackhawks' first home jersey in franchise history, which they wore in 1926.

Chicago will have a different look on the ice and on the bench, considering the team announced the firing of three-time Stanley Cup-winning head coach Joel Quenneville on Tuesday.
