News Article: Boston Bruins Best Jersey in Franchise History

[smithformeragent]

I wear an authentic Pooh bear jersey from time to time. Non-hockey fans give me a lot of compliments. Hockey fans usually laugh and make a joke. They know. It's a blank, so I still need to figure out which player name and number to put on it when I send it off for customization. 20 years should have been enough time to figure things out.

Not a fan of Pooh bear but it has reached the point that it's so bad that it's good territory with me.

Bingo.

Same with the Islanders Fisherman.
It’s so bad, it’s amazing.

Ray Bourque; Jason Allison; Joe Thornton; Zdeno Chara; and Patrice Bergeron - the last FIVE Bruins captains - have all worn the Pooh Bear. Not to mention dozens of other players. Some forgettable, others regrettable, but definitely an ‘interesting’ look on all of them.

I like their uniforms from the early '70's with the yellow shoulder boards on both the home and away jerseys. Yellow socks for away games and white socks at home.
Lastly, bring back the classic B's logo that hasn't had any outlines added.

I could swear that Chara came to Boston the year after Pooh Bears were retired. Maybe I'm wrong. Bourque is on my short list along with Samsonov, Axelsson, Guerin, Lapointe, and Carter. I already have various jerseys of the players you mention aside from Ray, so I want to go with someone I don't have. Hopefully I will decide before I'm gumming my food and playing shuffleboard.

Correct. Chara came in the season of the rebrand. Unfortunately so did Dave Lewis, so Pooh Bear was very much the Bruins identity that season regardless.

Is there any way we can auto-censor the words "Dave Lewis" on this forum using **** *****? I swear I get slightly sick to my stomach and picture his face every time I see that name. It's quite discomforting.

Last year of Pooh was 05-06.

The year Chara and Lewis came on, they retired Pooh and wore the 70s throwbacks as their 3rds.

The next year, the entire league adopted the Reebok Edge templates and they completely rebranded, with the new spoked B with serifs.

Chara also narrowly avoided wearing the Gorton’s Fisherman jerseys.

Then I’d say that Chara has been blessed when it comes to avoiding putrid uniforms.
