Confirmed with Link: Bruins Will Wear Black Jerseys For 2015 Winter Classic Vs. Canadiens

[Sheppy]

I absolutely love that black "B" jersey. I hope they go for it.

 

[Mantis]

Our current 3rd jerseys are my favorite ones right now.

Same

 

[sarge88]

I actually disagree. They were historically accurate, even the silly B I initially figured was simply a marketing tool aimed at kids.

Can't do so at present, but if someone can post the picture of Bobby & Sinden, '67, you may feel differently.

No. I hate brown, especially on sports uniforms.

Some of the worst uniforms in the history of sports featured brown.

Cleveland Browns
SD Padres

Just an ugly, dull, unathletic color.

Personally I'd like them to use this is the basis of something for the WC.

Kind of off topic but anyone else really sad that HBO's 24/7 started the year after the Flyers/Bruins Winter Classic and they ended it last year before this one with the Canadiens?

They did it on purpose because they hate us.

You guys DO realize we already have revealed our WC logo, right? It's not gonna be a B or anything, it's this:

I'll agree about brown. But the '67 & 2010 retro unis weren't brown; they were "gold." Look at Fenway's picture.

They are moving to some network no one has heard of this year. Google News it.

Bettman only confirmed the show will happen, he never said what channel. Last year it was on EPIX that Comcast doesn't even offer.

The WC jersey had brown in it though. That's what I was thinking about.

Very underwhelming.

That was it. EPIX.

The ship has sailed on 24/7 for me, though. The last, best one was Rangers-Flyers.

And I *still* can't get the image of a doughy, overcompensating with swears Bruce Boudreau, absurdly clad in red long johns, out of my my mind.

 

[GordonHowe]

Very underwhelming.

Original logo.

 

[goalieman40]

Three different logos were released a while ago:

http://www.icethetics.co/blog/2015/8/14/nhl-jerseywatch-2015-august

That's what made me thing we were getting their brown original jersey. So now who knows.

 

[sarge88]

Original logo.

I get it. Just don't really like it.

 

[GordonHowe]

I get it. Just don't really like it.

That's fair.

The brown motif was instituted by Charles Adams, the original owner, whose grocery chain had a "brown motif."

So, there's that.

 

[Mpasta]

I get it. Just don't really like it.

Same here. I think they could have sold more jerseys the last time without the cartoon B and this time if they used the B logo discussed in this thread. I understand both logos that they chose but I know the Bruins and they want to sell as many jerseys as possible.

I got the last Winter Classic jersey as a gift and don't like wearing it. It feels like a childrens jersey.

 

[DitClapper]

I absolutely love that black "B" jersey. I hope they go for it.

It's one of the most intimidating jersey's in today's game. I love it.

 

[ClassicB]

I want this....

Agreed!

These were the best Bruin uniforms ever worn (along with the solid whites). Just simple, clean and a classic "modern" Original Six.

 

[81ragnaH]

So, our current home jerseys are black. Our third jerseys are way too black. And our WC jersey will be black?

Because black is way underused in the NHL these days .

Use gold. Or brown. If it has to be black, at least make it a rare historical black jersey.

I thought they weren't historically accurate? My understanding is they cobbled a bunch of features from different jersey designs. The pieces were historically accurate but given they were from 5 different jersey designs it was just a marketing ploy.
There could easily be a pic out there that proves me wrong, but that was my understanding of that WC jersey.
Love the shoulderless black jersey Special K posted. That's def my all time favorite.

I don't know enough about the minutia to say. I do know that silly looking B was, as Fenway confirms, historically accurate.

It's funny. I didn't dislike the '80s era jerseys, but my absolute favorites are the 1970-72 uniforms. I'm sure Feway can detail any minor changes.

These are my favorites because those were the days of the Big Bad Bruins. Aa a kid at the time, I was totally taken with the swagger & glammer of that look.

When the B's changed to their mid 70s "minus the shoulder appletts" look (sic), it was the end of an era and represented something of a surrender to me.

I was half pleased by the mid 90s look, but wasn't completely pleased until the reintroduction of the quasi throwbacks we see today. And again, I think their current third jerseys are very handsome.

Can you imagine the indignity of wearing the Poohs?

Btw, I hated the NHL 75 year Anniversary sweaters. *Those* weren't historically accurate, and if memory serves the Bruins didn't win many games in them.

 

[ashnathan]

im pumped for "The Road To The Winter Classic" like last years Caps/Hawks show, that was such a good watch.

 

[DaStinger]

I want this....

I want this, however this is what I fell in love with growing up so I'm biased.
