From the Blackhawks:

The white NHL Stadium Series™ jersey pays homage to Chicago, featuring four, six-pointed red stars on the white collar, which are derived from the City of Chicago’s flag and were incorporated as a symbol of regional fan pride. Additionally, the black shoulder yoke serves as a visual representation of the city’s nickname, the “City of Big Shoulders.” The team’s secondary logos overlap the top three stripes on the sleeve rather than the traditional shoulder placement.

Well, they’re certainly better than the ones that showed a pretty low level of creative design for their 2014 Stadium Series game. And did anyone outside of Carl Sandburg know that Chicago is known as the "City of Big Shoulders?"

The Blackhawks will play the Minnesota Wild, who will reveal their Stadium Series jersey Tuesday afternoon, at TCF Bank Stadium on Feb. 21.
