Notes:
- The team again sold jerseys at the Convention and sold via various gameworn groups and email lists.
- Hawks legend Stan Mikita passed away on August 7, 2018. To honor him, the Hawks wore a circular 21 patch throughout the season.
- The regular season jerseys typically have 1 18-19 or 2 18-19 written in the neck to denote the set. Some jerseys may not have the writing in the neck, particularly if they were not on the roster to begin the set. They also have serial numbered set tags with the Indian Head in the rear hem.
- These jerseys featured the screened serial numbered set tag, this time featuring the logo from the Winter Classic alternate and a 21 for Mikita.
- The Blackhawks took part in the Winter Classic outdoor game in South Bend, IN on 1/1/19, their sixth outdoor game where they played the Boston Bruins at Notre Dame Stadium at the University of Notre Dame. The Hawks wore a black jersey which was an homage to the early 1930’s era sweater, white stripes and no colors, just a monochromatic black & white. The crest is circular and mimics the crest used in the 1930’s, however the Indian Head in the middle is the modern version, but again is just black & white. The crest and numbers are felt and the numbers have faux-stitching to mimic them being sewn inside the numbers, rather than along the edges. The Winter Classic logo patch is on the right shoulder and inside the jerseys sewn in the rear hem is a Fanatics inventory tag. Additionally, inside the neck is all of the years the Hawks have won the cup contained between several diagonal lines, meant to emulate the Notre Dame Stadium end zones.
- Both the Hawks and Bruins wore 4 jerseys for the game. Typical for every outdoor game the league has held. The first jersey is worn in the pregame skate. That set of jerseys goes to the NHL Player’s Association and they occasionally pop up in charity auctions. The other 3 jerseys are worn one per period. One period’s jerseys go to the players. One period’s jerseys go to the team to do with whatever they want and the last jerseys go up for auction on NHL.com along with goal pucks, game pucks, etc.
- For this game, the team got the second period jerseys and the 1st period jerseys went to NHL.com auction. Numbers were written on the fight straps to denote the period used as well.
- The Hawks wore the Stadium Series patch and a unique Notre Dame Gold version of the shoulder tommies crest on their practice jerseys the day before the game when they practiced outdoors. These jerseys were sold by the team.
- After the Winter Classic, the Hawks wore another set of the black alternates at three additional home games, 1/22/19 vs NYI, 2/18/19 vs Ottawa and 3/24/19 vs Colorado. These jerseys were identical to the Winter Classic set except for the shoulder patch and no Fanatics set tagging. These had the Hawks screened serial numbered set tags. They also had a number written in the neck. Most players only had one jersey issued to them, so there is a 1 in the neck. Kane & Seabrook had 2, one with an A and one without, the 2nd marked with a 2 in the neck. A few other players may have had multiples including goalies. These jerseys were sold by the team.
- Hawks goalies had 3 jerseys issued to them and they change between periods. They wear the same 3 all season. A few other players also wore multiple jerseys – including Jonathan Toews.
