whalersjets Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Per the Boston GlobeThe Pooh bear is dead.The Bruins' third sweater, honey gold with the smiley Pooh head centered on the chest, is officially being mothballed.Beginning Oct. 26, when the Canadiens come to Causeway Street, the Bruins will sport vintage renditions of their spoked-B sweaters, styled after the ones Bobby Orr and his fellow Black-and-Gold swashbucklers wore in the late 1960s. Think: split neckline with string lace. (Bring back a bench-clearing donnybrook and the picture is a Picasso!)According to Charlie Jacobs, the club's executive vice president, the Bruins intend to wear the black version of the vintage sweaters in all home games against Original Six opponents (Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, and the Rangers).``No more third jerseys -- we're going vintage," said Jacobs.I always liked the jerseys. But if it makes you guys happy, it makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 It makes us happy. And further makes the NHL's case for best looking North American sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The logo could have been better, and the "Bruins" on the shoulders was a bit odd. Otherwise, I always loved the design of those jerseys.

rmered Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Good riddance you ugly piece of rubbish.Possibly the worst Bear logo on any major sporting team I've seen.It had a sort of humbled smile, reminding me of one of those Russian bears on chains.As for the striping around the waist and sleeves, again, I hated it, and good riddance.

hormone Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 That jersey was lame. They need a yellow one like their home/road and not some Bearenstein bear with psychadelic lines all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacker12 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'd always thought that the only jerseys they needed were black, gold, and white ones with the spoked B logo on the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedo Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 This is the jersey I wish they'd bring back as their "third".(From a pre-season game vs. Rangers at London Gardens in Orr's rookie year) "Old folks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 One of the very first wave of third jerseys iirc. I don't think there are any left in the league now. Amazing how long it lasted considering the Ducks and Kings thirds debuted that year were never seen again.Teams using third jerseys that first season (95-96, although not until after the all star game in 96) were Boston, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, Anaheim, and Los Angeles.

Hat Boy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Possibly the worst Bear logo on any major sporting team I've seen.It had a sort of humbled smile, reminding me of one of those Russian bears on chains.Pooh bear makes for a good shoulder logo, but he is not primary logo material. Although he isn't menacing, he is tougher looking than the UCLA bruin. I'll be Yogi Bear could kick his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
