Boston Bruins debut Centennial jersey honoring 100-year legacy

The Boston Bruins are celebrating their centennial in style by unveiling special uniforms on Thursday. The limited edition jersey will be worn on December 1 against the Montreal Canadiens.

That date marks the 100th anniversary of the Bruins’ first game against the Montreal Maroons on December 1, 1924.

The look combines several elements from the past with a vision for the future. One example is the anniversary decal, which merges the vintage spokes of legends Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque with the varsity “B” the franchise has worn since 2007.

The jersey is inspired by the 1980s, a decade in which the Bruins had four 100-win seasons, and embodies the franchises’ core values, according to a news release. The sleeves and socks are gold-colored with a modern take on traditional stripes, a nod to previous players who wore the Spoked-B.

A new Centennial patch has arrived with a nod to December 1st and brings back the metallic gold as an accent around the Bruins bear.

β€œThe Centennial Game will be a special moment for our organization and, more importantly, for our fans, so the jersey design had to be appropriate for the occasion,” said Boston Bruins President Cam Neely. β€œThere are so many elements for both fans and players to enjoy.”

An element Neely highlighted appears on the bottom hemline. The team’s core values ​​– tradition, perseverance, passion and heart – are enshrined in it, alongside the score from their first match displayed on the collar.
