Digby Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with the Bruins here considering they're usually very good at updating their look in subtle ways without typically losing the plot. They were due for a refresh and the new spoked B was a perfect fit into that legacy, but the jerseys let it down. I guess the sheer number of fauxback mashups in recent NHL history made it tough to dip into that well again for the centennial season, even though it would make a lot of sense. The total drain of their normal yellow is a headscratching whiff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a vacuum that logo is horrible, but when you remember the spoked B is just their 25th anniversary logo I think it's a great call back. On 9/17/2023 at 5:03 PM, jdavidev said: As a Bruins fan, I definitely agree with you. These are awful. White numbers?? Black socks?? I was expecting a jersey from three different eras, Orr, Bourque and Bergeron (all the old timey classic ones have been mined for Winter Classics already). Home - Bourque, Road - Orr, and Third - Bergeron. That would tie up the history together. White numbers??/// WTF? White numbers are a head scratcher. The Bruins have used white numbers on their primary black jersey for a total of 9 years out of 99. Makes no sense to use them here, especially if you're getting fancy with shimmery gold everywhere else. The black socks come as no surprise, Jacobs loves the claim that the Bruins are the first professional team to use black as a primary color, even though I'm not buying that whatsoever. 44 minutes ago, AndrewG70 said: But in all seriousness -- the six combined gold stripes on the two sleeves represent the team's six Stanley Cups. If that's true, and it probably is - it's a tremendous stretch. There are 9 stripes per sleeve, and I can guarantee the casual fan isn't going to put together that there's 6 gold ones to signify 6 Stanley Cups. Hell, even I wasn't reading it like that.

It really gets in the way of being the spiritual continuation of the Boston Garden that the naming rights and being next door to the old one would suggest. Going from yellow to black was a great way to remove any and all character from an already characterless building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if this has something to do with the RCAF's centennial in 2024, given their current jerseys are designed after the RCAF roundel.

They really should've just swapped out one of the shoulder patches for the anniversary logo. It's so awful that the entire left side is preserved for the advertisers ad. And everything else is thrown on whatever space remains on the right side. Because non-hockey related corporations are more important than what a team accomplishes throughout the course of decades. Imagine how horrible it would have been for the Canadiens, had they celebrated their centennial anniversary this year, by slapping their 100th anniversary patch next to the Captain's C, so that the RBC patch could have all the visibility it needs. Like selling out the Montreal Forum for 70 years doesn't mean anything. I'm glad ads were not introduced in 2009. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 All the Bruins need to do is put the new logos on the regular jerseys, gold socks with b/w/b stripe for the home, and maybe update the road to have gold yoke and keep the striping the same from the home. Basically the 70s look but with the updated template. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
