Inside Label: 2004 Chicago Stadium / Blackhawks "Remember The Roar" Snapback Cap

In 1926, Col. Frederic McLaughlin was granted permission by the NHL to establish an expansion franchise within the city bounds of Chicago. The team was named the Blackhawks, a tribute to the army battalion in which McLaughlin served. The Black Hawks rounded off the Original Six hockey clubs.
Chicago Stadium was one of six barn yard style arenas in which hockey action was played out. “The Madhouse on Madison,” opened its gates on March 28, 1929. The seating capacity rose just above the 17,000 mark. The small seating mark allowed the fans to become personal to the fast paced action of the Canadian past time, as well as the beloved players in which the fans so passionately followed. In 1967, the year in which the NHL began to expand, the NBA Chicago Bulls joined the Black Hawks as tenants of the historic Chicago Stadium. They both would remain strong to the end of the 1994 season, before both clubs moved across the street to the United Center.
In 1994, the NHL dissolved two of the original six barn yard style stadiums. The Leafs sadly parted from Maple Leafs Garden, an arena which owned a large majority of hockey history. The Chicago Blackhawks fought their way into the playoffs to keep the roar of Chicago Stadium going as long as they could.
Yupoong constructed this piece in honor of the Blackhawks and their contribution to hockey history inside the legendary Chicago Stadium. Yupoong created this cap by using a white, poly-cotton blend. The brim is in black fabric as the under visor is in a traditional green. The front two panels feature an image of Chicago Stadium resting behind the timeless Blackhawks logo. The logo is outlined in red embroidered thread with Chicago Stadium balancing the top and bottom of the circle. Riding across the front of the logo is a gold threaded banner which is outlined in black stitch. The banner dates the hockey palace, honoring the history of an original franchise and the history within the echoes of Chicago Stadium. The cap was created in a snapback style. Arched across the back of the cap is the famous phrase “Remember the Roar.” The team logo is embroidered in black thread as are the eyelets and button top. Chicago Stadium will forever be remembered as one of the palaces within the sporting world. Its historic stance captured the memories of both the Bulls of the NBA and the Original Six member, Blackhawks.
