ZMAN was referring to what Chelios jersey would be placed in the Hall of Fame, not what one he would wear to the induction. Of course they wear formal wear.
Just like Shanahan did recently, I hope Chelios chooses a Wings jersey for the HOF. Congrats, Cheli, on a wonderful career!
Not sure what you mean by the jersey being placed in the Hall of Fame, that's not how players are represented from the perspective of being inducted. There is a room with all of the members represented on the walls. There is a plaque for each player that shows their face and a bio.
Not sure what you are referring to with respect to Shanahan, he's not even in the HOF.
Might you be referring to this?

Finally: If the Hockey Hall of Fame was like the baseball Hall, and you had to go in wearing a particular uniform, which one would you chose?
The Red Wings.
Unlike the baseball HOF where player likenesses are represented with a team's cap, I don't believe the hockey HOF associates a team/jersey with the player. Pretty sure of that based on Shanny saying a month or so back that IF the hockey HOF did that, he would go in as a Wing.
Found it...

Creepy, I just posted the same excerpt. And you are correct, players do not go into the HHOF based on any team representation.
