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.
