Chicago Blackhawks Denis Savard 1988-1989 NHL Hockey Jersey

Size: 44 (Medium)

Brand/Model: CCM Small Block Ultrafil Authentic

Condition: Brand new with tags

This 1988–89 Blackhawks authentic represents one of the most transitional and short-lived jersey styles in franchise history, worn during Denis Savard’s tenure as team captain. Two things make this particular Hawks jersey iteration so significant. First is the unique “pinhead” aka “flat face” Indian head crest. The other is that it marks the final appearance of Gunzo’s tagging on on-ice Blackhawks jerseys, closing the book on a decades-long relationship between the team and its classic local outfitter. Later 1989 playoff and 1989–90 jerseys would move away from this entirely, introducing non-Gunzo tagging, updated neck construction, and refined striping proportions that became the modern standard. In other words, this is the last stop before the evolution. A true bridge between old-school Blackhawks construction and the modern CCM era. Pieces from this exact window are exceptionally scarce, and for collectors who understand the lineage, this is not just another vintage Hawks jersey, it’s a top tier collectors piece.

If you’re a Hawks collector, you know how rarely these jerseys come along, let alone BNWT! If you need this for your collection, snag it now because you may never find another!
