 At times , the statue has been adorned with various Chicago Blackhawks player jerseys . When Denis Savard 's jersey was retired on March 19 , 1998 , fans put his jersey on the statue , but it was removed one hour later . During the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals , United Center personnel added an ice hockey helmet , a Reebok jersey of captain Jonathan Toews and Reebok ice skates to the statue . Within 48 hours , the Reebok logos on the ice skates had been covered by Nike stickers . When Chicagoan Barack Obama welcomed the Blackhawks to the White House as President of the United States , he made mention of the jersey being placed on the Jordan statue . In May 2011 , there was an announcement the Hockey Hall of Famers Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull would have statues placed outside of the United Center near Jordan 's sometime early during the 2011 – 12 NHL season .
