BREAKING NEWS: Blackhawks, NHL Reveal 'Hometown Remix' Uniforms

Last spring, word spread that the National Hockey League, along with Fanatics, was launching a new league-wide jersey project for the 2026-27 season. The ‘Hometown Remix’ uniforms have had a lot of hype, especially since all parties involved made the official announcement towards the end of the summer. 

Teams like the Florida Panthers and New York Islanders had theirs leak pretty early in the process, but the rest of them have been mostly kept under wraps. However, there was a rumor that the Chicago Blackhawks were getting ready to run out a St. Patrick’s Day-themed uniform, which has since been confirmed. 

On October 21st, every team in the league put a social media teaser out with codes. The codes revealed a saying that hints at what the new sweaters are going to look like. For the Blackhawks, it said, “The river sets the dress code”. 

This implies that the St. Patrick’s Day prediction is correct. Chicago famously dyes the river green on the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day and has a rich history of celebrating that Irish-themed holiday. 

There have been versions of green Blackhawks jerseys sold for years, but they’ve never gone down that road in a regular-season game. There have been St. Patrick’s Day-themed warm-up jerseys in the past, but these ‘Hometown Remix’ sweaters will be worn during play that counts. 

Finally, on Monday, the league rolled out this new line, including that of the Chicago Blackhawks: 

Chicago will wear these sweaters on Monday night against the Colorado Avalanche. They will also wear them against the Vegas Golden Knights on December 29th, along with four additional times in March ahead of St. Patrick's Day. 

Those who would like to purchase the new Hometown Remix gear online can do so at  NHLshop.com or Fanatics.com. You can also buy it locally at CBHShop.com, the Blackhawks Store on Michigan Avenue, and the Madhouse Team Store at the United Center.
