The name commemorates Black Hawk, a Native American of the Sauk Nation and a prominent Indian of the early 1800's, but the color scheme has no specific meaning behind it.
The four feathers symbolize the four Stanley Cup Championships they have won.

∙ 13y agoI doubt that they have any significance beyond being a good graphic. The original logo was sketched out by a "celebrity" dancer/vaudeville actress in the 1920s: Irene Castle.
Actually they started with one feather and add one for every championship won. Now that the Hawks won the Cup a fifth feather will be added.
Actually. No There have always been three feathers. Even before the 1 st 1933-34 cup win. So there is really no significance. After the 2nd 37-38 cup win there were still three.
Only after the 60-61 cup win did they add a fourth feather. So it could become a tradition to add a feather. And I think they should. (Good for marketing too). But it's never been consistent. Hopefully they will add a feather and make a tradition of it.
