Tazer19 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hello fellow forum members... Recently I put a link to my "Ultimate Chicago Blackhawks Jersey Collection"....showcasing well over 100 of my Hawk jerseys.... So I thought I would start another topic about showcasing the Ultimate Pride for your team... Here is a link to my Ultimate Blackhawks Fan Cave... I still have some other photos to add but I thought I would start it off... http://s1161.photobucket.com/albums/q501/waymee99/Ultimate%20%20Blackhawks%20Fan%20Cave/?start=all During the Hawks Cup run in 2010 the Hawks and Comcast sponsored a contest The Ultimate Hawks Fan Cave....there were 5 entries picked and voted on...with the Hawks and Comcast also voting...I was announced on live tv as the winner.... The Ultimate kicker....Denis Savard surprised me and delivered the prize to my home....he was so impressed with my allegiance to the Indian Head that he invited me to his home to be in a Comcast segment showcasing all his memorabilia... Enjoy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schulzmc Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Wow - And I was drooling over some of the jerseys in your collection. Very nice! How long did it take you to put that all together, and how'd you talk your wife into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks82 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Wow...my mind is blown. That's the best man cave I've ever seen, AINEC!! Truly impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome...!! I'm sure you seeing me in the video I was TOTALLY SHOCKED....!! A Hawks legend...NHL Hall of Famer walking around my home...I was just in awe...;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did it take you to put that all together, and how'd you talk your wife into it? It took me about 2 months-give or take...the painting was the hardest...priming...3 or 4 coats of red...then I had to wait until it was completely dry...then level out the lines for the white....and just repeat...then doing all the doors-hanging and painting as well as the woodwork/trim... But when I was hanging up the last jersey...or putting up the last stick...took a step back-all the time was totally worth it... To have Savvy be impressed and invite me into his home to see his prized possessions was worth its weight in gold...AMAZING FEELING...!!! My wife is a fan as well...I had so much Hawks stuff I collected I decided to put it up and paint-my wife actually came up with painting the stripes and making it look like the red Hawks sweater..;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I are lucky with the wife side of things. My wife was envious of your room when we saw it aired and we always make mention that our next house will have a Blackhawks room/basement or something. She's become just as big a hockey fan as I am.

amonte78 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! I don't believe anyone can top this! One thing: I saw the framed Toews jersey with all the patches: you've got the wrong NHL Premiere patch (Stockholm instead of Helsinki) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Next One Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Holy Mackinaw! Ok, I don't think anyone is ever gonna top this. Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
