Chicago Blackhawks

1926–1935
The original Chicago Black Hawks logo was drawn by Irene Castle, the wife of the team's original owner Frederic McLaughlin.

1941–1955
In 1941, a new logo was introduced with a redrawn Black Hawk head, no longer having red skin, with more detail added to the hair. The colors of the headdress were also changed to red and blue.

This logo has been brought back three times: first during the 1991–92 NHL season (the league's 75th anniversary) as an alternate jersey, then from 2009 to 2011 as an alternate jersey (also used for the 2009 NHL Winter Classic), and in 2021 as part of Adidas' "Reverse Retro" jersey campaign.

1957–1959


In 1957, the ring and text were removed from the logo, which itself was slightly redrawn.

This logo was brought back for the 2017 NHL Winter Classic.

1959–1964


In 1959, the logo was redrawn in a cleaner style that more resembled its later iterations.

1964–1989


In 1964, the Hawks adopted a refined version of the previous logo that featured less detail on the headdress. Despite being replaced as the main logo in the mid-1980s, it remained on the team's uniforms until 1989, when it was replaced with its 1985 counterpart. Its general design, however, would remain constant in the ensuing decades.

1971–1985


Around 1971, the logo was redrawn with slightly thicker and sharper lines. This version was initially used on practice jerseys before it became a primary logo in tandem with the 1964 version around 1976. However, this specific version was never used on the main uniforms, and was retired around 1985.

1985–1999


In 1985, the logo was redrawn again, with the yellow feathers now the same color as the skin. Around this time, the team also changed their name to the Blackhawks, now spelled as one word. This version of the logo was initially used in tandem with its 1964 counterpart until 1989, when it replaced it as the logo on the team's uniforms. It would continue to be used in tandem with its later revisions until 1999, when it was finally replaced on the uniforms.

1987–1997


A recolored version of the 1982 alternate logo first appeared in 1987, and was used as a primary logo in tandem with the 1985 version until 1997. Despite never being used on the team's actual uniforms, this design would continue to be used in tandem with its 1995 iteration (mainly on merchandise and print material) until being quietly discontinued around 2008.

1995–1997


Around 1995, the 1987 design was cleaned up, with the face now having a more visible smile. This design would continue to be used in the ensuing decades, albeit with minor color changes.

1997–1999


In 1997, the skin color was changed to a more natural brown, with a different shade of yellow being added.

1999–2016


In 1999, the logo was given brighter colors and a different shade of green. This also marked the first time the 1995 design officially appeared on the team's uniforms.

2016–present


The logo's colors were darkened slightly in 2016.
