Origin of the Theory: Chicago Blackhawks

The motivation for this blog all started, at believe it or not, my first ever NHL game.  We were sitting at center ice in the 300 level and showed up just in time for the national anthem.  The players took the ice after the anthem for their warmups, and I quickly made a ridiculous statement via twitter:

"The Blackhawks will win this game b/c they are wearing black jerseys #blackjerseytheory"


Even though "black" is in the name of their mascot, their primary jersey colors are red and white.

Of course, the Blackhawks beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2, and The Black Jersey Theory was official born.
