Blackhawks Primary Logo

The Chicago Blackhawks' primary logo has been a source of pride for the city of Chicago since its inception in 1926. The original design was created by noted artist and former team president Frederic McLaughlin. This iconic logo featured two Blackhawks perched atop an Indian headdress with four feathers extending from the top to form a "C" shape, representing the team's initials.

Throughout its history, this classic emblem has undergone several minor modifications while still maintaining its overall look and feel that fans have come to know and love over time, particularly in relation to the Chicago Blackhawks Alternate logo. In 1986, an alternate version was introduced featuring three feathers instead of four; however, this change did not last long as it reverted to the original design shortly after that due to fan feedback.

Today’s modern version features subtle changes such as sharper edges on both sides of each feather tip and slightly larger eyes on each hawk’s face, giving them more character than ever! Additionally, slight variations depending on whether you're looking at their home or away jerseys. Still, it remains one of the sport's most recognizable logos today - making sure everyone knows who they're rooting for when cheering on their beloved Blackhawks!
