The Chicago Blackhawks probably also wore white socks.

Before their game against the Carolina Hurricanes at United Center on Saturday, the team arrived in full Chicago White Sox gear, showing where their obvious baseball loyalties lie for Game 5 of the American League Division Series.

Blackhawks players arrived in all sorts of White Sox gear, rocking home white jerseys or black Sox caps on their way into the building.

The White Sox are visiting the Cleveland Guardians in a win-or-go-home Game 5 of the ALDS on Saturday night, hence the support from their NHL counterparts.

The winner has a date with the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Championship Series for a shot at advancing to the 2026 World Series.
