I thought I read somewhere that the Bruins were not getting third jerseys this year, especially with the winter classic jerseys.

:dunno:

But I wouldn't mind if they did. Those do look nice.

That’s what I thought too. Maybe they’re really releasing the WC jersey and that’s what he heard?

A few teams are having throwback night jerseys that aren’t their actual thirds (Oilers, Jets, Devils) and only wearing them a few games. Maybe it’s that kind of deal?

Let’s play logic:

1). The Bruins are definitely making a new Winter Classic jersey.
2). Adidas had their hands full with the new jerseys last year, since not every team got a third jersey (including the Bruins).
3). Adidas will likely NOT make two separate brand new jerseys for a team this year.
4). Certain writers are prone to provide information that is, at best incomplete.

Conclusion: That’s the Winter Classic jersey, which will double as the alternate, probably starting in 2019. (I don’t think the Bruins wore their WC jerseys in a game before the WC in the 2015-6 season, but I could be wrong.)

I was just told that for next season the WC sweaters will be used at least 5 times not including the WC

I follow uniwatch and Chris Creamer’s Sports Logos pretty regularly.

Pretty sure there’s a minimum number of times you must wear an alternate “3rd” jersey. In addition, you can also have a “heritage” jersey that’s used for anniversaries, throwback nights etc.

So I know the Devils are using their white “Pizza Hut” jerseys as their heritage jersey. Edmonton is bringing back royal blue for their heritage jersey. Anaheim is doing a black version of their original “mighty” jerseys. And I’ve also read that each of those teams is also planning to introduce a 3rd jersey.

1) Adidas and the NHL teams love money.

2) A new retro 3rd jersey along with the WC jersey will result in more jersey sales and thus, more money for Adidas and the NHL teams.

3) Did I mention this will make more money?

Also... I hope to hell this rumour is true. Those are the sweaters the Bruins wore when I realized I was in love with them.

Now who would I get?

Easy call is Pasta. But I’m kinda thinking Jake DeBrusk...


Nailed it with Jake the Snake


Holy nostalgic overload Batman. This jersey idea was designed for old fans and millenials. Take me mooooonay

Wow this would be a tough one for me. I'd say it would be a toss up between Bergeron & McAvoy. I've wanted a Bergy jersey for a few years now and this might be the right jersey (if offered) to finally pull the trigger on.

Not impressed with the winter classic jersey. Hoping this third jersey proves to be better - or a throwback.

If they do go with the 80's throwbacks, they better keep the shoulder logo
