Blackhawks Unveil 2015 Winter Classic Jersey Inspired By 1957 Model (Photos)

The Chicago Blackhawks are throwing it back for the 2015 Winter Classic.

In a special presentation Wednesday evening, the Blackhawks unveiled the jerseys they’ll be wearing when they hit the ice on New Year’s Day to take on the Washington Capitals. The special sweaters pay homage to the 1957 season, as the jerseys were inspired by the ones the team wore that year.

Brandon Saad, filling in for Patrick Sharp who was injured in Tuesday’s night game and is expected to miss about a month, modeled the jersey at the team store on Michigan Avenue.
