Boston Sports Journal Ranking the greatest Bruins jerseys of all time — from ‘Pooh Bear’ to Winter Classic throwbacks

[Blowfish]

Surprised not more for Orr jersey...

 

[smithformeragent]

Agree about the Pooh Bear. It isn't the colors so much as that God Awful bear head. The colors look good on the 2010 Winter Classics and the 55-67 sweaters. That bear head, though . . .

Saw a guy at Shaw’s the other day rocking a poo bear cap and I was cracking up.

Well I guess it is vintage . . .

The 2010 WC jersey would have got my vote if the trim was black instead of brown.

The best jersey that the "Black and Gold" ever donned cannot be brown and gold.

Yep.

We’ve reached the point that 90s is now retro.

Coyotes’ Kachina is back.

C’mon, Isles. Bring back the Gorton’s Fisherman!

And move the Canes back to Hartford and get the Whale rockin again!

These were decent too...

Those are the Orr/Espo era.

Bring Back The Whale!!!

Seriously they had great team colors and a great logo

How young they look there too!

I hated the Whale and loved them at the same time- like you I loved the green and blue and the Whale tail and that stupid ass Brass Bonanza goal song. Still miss them. Hurricanes just don't do it for me. There was always something 70s minor league-y about the Whale that was part of the charm

74-95 in a landslide victory. Just so clean. So sharp. Brings me back to my childhood, watching the first period with my father and waking up early the next day to see the scores on NESN Sportsdesk scroll up my 13 inch TV.

The Notre Dame and Fenway jerseys are next. Pooh Bear is last. Everything else can take it or leave it.

Any jersey that had Number 4 on the back with the name Orr on it. Actually the name on the jersey was not common in Bobby's day. When the NBC game of the week was on, they would have those tape on looking strip with the names for the national audience.

Was at a Canes game (ironically given later posts in the thread ) - dude was rocking the Kasparaitis Gorton's jersey - I was impressed

[22Brad Park]

My fav jersey's were and always will be late 70s.

 

[GabeTravels]

I don't like the shoulder on the Bourque/Neely jerseys.

Do them with the current shoulder crest and I'm all in.

 

[SPB2776]

I think this one was a glaring omission, should have at least knocked the pooh bear out of the list.

Yes! Yes! YES!!!! A million times yes.
My favorite Bruins jersey of all time.
To me, pure perfection

 

[Centrum Hockey]

Yep.

We’ve reached the point that 90s is now retro.

The bruins should have given the pooh bear jersey a new logo like the Isles did with their fishermen jerseys.

 

[kthx]

I dont usually like classic jerseys that much but damn #2 looks good.

 

[kthx]

Are there any fanmade only black jerseys for B's?
Kinda like the Finnish jersey below. (Just to clarify, these jerseys below are not fan made)

The OriginalSix rocked vintage jerseys in ‘92 and again in 2004.

They replaced Poo with the retro blacks in ‘06, but this is the last time we saw the whites.

I love the gold yokes.

 

[BAD BOY]

I like them uniforms and the third alternate with the bear in the front , bruins patch on the shoulder. The ones they wear sometimes on Saturday afternoons.

 

[GordonHowe]

Have to go with Bourque/Neely era, such a classic design. I would keep the present 3rd jersey.

Nah. Come on, it's '67-'74. Big Bad Bruins.

The later, Bourque era version was okay, but I like those apuletts!

 

[GordonHowe]

Liked the Pooh Bear with the brown bear head over a bright yellow background. However I would have the bear show some teeth and look somewhat menacing.

That's because Sinden and OC were in charge.
