In stockThe Chicago Blackhawks joined the NHL in 1926, which makes them one of the league’s Original Six teams. Also, their name honors the Black Hawk Division, the World War I Army unit their first owner served in. Today, home games are played at the United Center. Fans know the red, black, and white. So when a retro Starter-style jacket shows up in that red, it hits a nerve. That’s the pull behind the Chicago Blackhawks Retro Starter Bomber Jacket.
Starter began in 1971 in Connecticut, and its satin team jackets filled hallways and bleachers by the early 1990s. Now picture hunting for one today and finding a jacket that creases and hangs flat. Ugh. Instead, this Chicago Blackhawks Starter Jacket aims for that smooth shine and ribbed shape.
Satin forms the red outside, so the color catches light and looks smooth at a glance. Inside, a soft viscose lining makes it easy to slide over a tee. Meanwhile, the rib-knit collar and cuffs give it that classic bomber shape. Because buttons close the front, you can wear it open or closed. Two outside pockets hold your hands or keys, while one inside pocket keeps a card close. Also, full-length sleeves cover your arms. Finally, Oskar Jacket makes this Blackhawks Retro Hockey Bomber Jacket in red, with a fan-inspired look.
Red leads, so this Chicago Blackhawks Vintage Starter Jacket piece needs quiet partners:
Check the care label first. Then button it up, wash cold on a gentle cycle, and air-dry on a hanger. Skip the dryer, since heat can mark satin. Also, store it hanging so creases don’t set. Want more fan favorites? Browse our Best Seller Collection.
