Spot on. Perfect.

I'd give anything for them to bring back the Neely-era jerseys with the bottom striping and no shoulder yoke. The old black thirds were close, but not the same.

The gold on the shoulders is off.

I'd buy that McAvoy jersey.

I liked the all black alternates in 08-09.
The 15-16 Winter Classic is good too. Keep it intimidating mixed with classic.

Give me this jersey all day. I never saw them live, but I would love to see this as their home jerseys (with the matching white for away). Give me a slick Gold jersey as the 3rd and they'd be the cleanest uniforms in the league.


What they wear now are wonderful as well, and I did enjoy the number change, but I don't care for the black socks. Wish they'd go back to gold.

Hate hate hate the black socks. Legit the only thing wrong with their current unis.

Yeah, with the striping on the arms, jersey bottom, and socks, the 80s/early 90s jersey was the perfect distribution and balance of black/yellow/white. The current ones have too much yellow up top and the black socks. Not enough white to balance it out. The black thirds they had had no bottom striping and too much black.

I like the Old style jerseys Orr wore plus the stripe on the pants.
No complaints about Neely’s era or today’s. Like the black socks but don’t have a problem if they go back either.

Good a place for any on this grumble...

I get that teams like Calgary and even the Blues look great and should wear colors at home.

However Montreal, NYR, Caps and Bruins look better in whites and should use them at home.

The crew at BLT has been doing team overviews. They cover why each team will be good and why they will be bad in 2018/19. They also do each teams best jersey in franchise history. Here's their coverage on the Bruins best jersey. Best Jerseys Ever Part 3: Boston Bruins

Best (surprise): BBB era sweaters. This fellow doesn't like "yokes" (sic)? Sorry, junior. These were, and remain, the baddest of bad** jerseys.

2] Honorable mention: 1] Nearly all-black, late 2000's era third jerseys.

3] '30's throwback jerseys, minus the Disneyesque "smilie B" crest (sic), sported in the 2010 Winter Classic.

Never a fan: 1] the '90s Pooh (ugh ergh); 2] the "apulate free" jobs with the bear head on either shoulder. I get that some like this, but again, it's BBB era/current B sweaters I appreciate most. 3] Meh '90s jersey (sic).

2 cents.
