The NHL and Fanatics have unveiled the highly anticipated jerseys for the Discover NHL Winter Classic®, set to take place on December 31 at Wrigley Field. The Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues will showcase unique uniforms with city-inspired elements and classic details.
Chicago Blackhawks Uniform: A Nostalgic Tribute
The Blackhawks’ Winter Classic uniform pays homage to the team’s storied past with innovative design elements. Featuring a lace-neck collar reminiscent of early hockey days and a vintage cream color that echoes the Original Six era, the jersey is a blend of tradition and modernity. Stars from the Chicago flag on the front crest and subtle pinstripes in the back numbers honor the city’s rich sporting history, creating a design that celebrates the team’s legacy and the city’s athletic culture.
St. Louis Blues Uniform: Honoring Hockey Heritage
The Blues’ Winter Classic jersey is a celebration of St. Louis’ hockey legacy. A departure from the iconic Blue Note, the primary wordmark on the chest is a bold nod to a prototype uniform from 1966 that was never worn before. The jersey also features a vintage-style “Blue Note” on the shoulder, with fleur-de-lis motifs integrated into the design as a tribute to the city’s heritage.

Fans can now purchase the Winter Classic jerseys on NHLShop.com, NHLShop.ca, and at the Blues and Blackhawks team stores.
