Replicating the attractive and original design first used by the Chicago Black Hawks from inception until and including the 1933-34 NHL season, with a menacing solid black uniform with white striping bands and matching-colour Indian head team crest, this alternate Black Hawks captain’s jersey was worn by superstar Jonathan Toews in the 2019-20 NHL season during parts of four different games including Nov 29, 2019, Dec 2, 2019, Jan 21, 2020 and March 3, 2020 – with the jersey also photo-matched to the Nov 29th and March 3rd contests. Produced for Toews from remaining 2019 Winter Classic stock, “56” sizing is affixed to the Adidas collar band ("2" and "19-20" are also handwritten but faint), with NHL and Adidas crests gracing the front and reverse necklines respectively. Styled with the famous Indian head team crest fully administered in black felt with “Chicago Black Hawks” appliqued, Toews’ “19” is sewn to the sleeves and verso in matching white felt. The Winter Classic and “21” patches have been removed with outlines visible, with just light game-use exhibited including a few faint burn marks over each lower sleeve. The 2019-20 team patch is affixed to the inside hem, with an LOA from the Black Hawks to accompany this exceedingly desirable rare-style Jonathan Toews captain’s jersey.
Regarding the photo-matches, Getty Image #1083170074 (Jan 1, 2019 Winter Classic) has been matched to the distinct black threading patterns at each outer side of the full white collar, with imperfections to the NHL emblem at the base of the neckline also matching including the small black line at the top center. The misshapen bend at the top of the bottom white striping band on the right shoulder is also visible. From the following season, Getty Image #1191117921 (Nov 29, 2019) appears to show the two extended black threads at the base of the first white striping band at the top of the elbow seam, with the extended thread at the top left of the "9" on the left sleeve also visible, while Getty Image #1204962416 (March 3, 2020) has been matched to the extended white thread at the top left of the "9" of "19" on the left sleeve, to the extended white thread at the bottom left of the captain's "C", and to the ventilation pattern between the white striping band on the left front shoulder.
