The Chicago Blackhawks showed off the new threads that they will wear for the 2017 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on Jan 2.

The Blackhawks' new uniforms are inspired by the sweaters worn in the late 1950s and early 1960s by greats such as Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull.

The 2017 NHL Winter Classic will take place against the rival St. Louis Blues  at Busch Stadium.

The special edition jersey will be available for purchase at shop.NHL.com or at Blackhawks stores located on Michigan Avenue.
