The Chicago Blackhawks have found their way to honor veterans on Veterans Day. They will wear camoflage jerseys during their pregame warmups and then auction those jerseys off with all of the proceeds going to the USO of Illinois. This from the Blackhawk organization:
"It's an honor for our organization and players to take part in such a special cause," said Jay Blunk, Blackhawks senior vice president of Business Operations. "This is something that has never been done in our franchise's 83 years. We all stand in appreciation for the sacrifices made by the men and women of our armed forces each and every day and are excited to help pay tribute in this way."
Here is the picture of the jerseys:
If the Blackhawks used these jerseys in the game instead of warmups, it would be perfect just because no one would know where they went.
