It looks more like a rare variant crest only used on a couple of gameworns around 88/89 (when the movie was being filmed) which looks like this: The above crest looks more like the movie one than the pinhead does: http://siamtradingpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Clark-Griswold-Vacation-Blackhawks-Jersey.jpg And I’d agree with HockeyBob; if you found one as rare as this, you wouldn’t want to commit a crime against the hobby and screw it up by making a Griswold jersey out of it. There was one of these on Ebay or maybe somewhere else awhile back. Not to long ago. I tried to make a deal with the guy but communication was lacking.

LAK74 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Tbh, I’m really not sure on this at all. It seems unlikely they would use an authentic with a rarely seen crest in a movie, but then again I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a replica with that kind of crest either. I wish that picture of Chevy Chase on the stairs was clearer so we could see the details better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to make a deal with the guy but communication was lacking. I picked up a red one back in August that has the same crest, shoulder patches and double elbows and the fight strap. Mine has a Crosby stamp on the left hem and small block CCM on the right. The movie was on last night and I think the best shot of the jersey details were the images that LAK74 and Brilliant posted. I didn't see anything showing the hem or if there was a fight strap. My best guess is it was a retail jersey from the mid 80's Edited December 6, 2017 by Hockey Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudrock512 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Didn't CCM have kind of a hybrid authentic-replica jersey in the '80's? The jerseys have double shoulders and double elbows, but no fight strap. I don't remember ever seeing a Hawks version, but it almost sounds like this. Double elbows, but a crest and shoulder patches you see more with a replica. Maybe it is something weird like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudrock512 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Here is a pic that shows the back. I don't really see a fight strap. Other interesting thing is the incorrect font and I don't think there is a nameplate that was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double elbows, but no fight strap, with a thin, replica-like crest, and shoulder patches which were heat-pressed but not stitched down.
