They slightly changed it I believe. The striping is now the same as arm striping.

I like the alteration of the numbers and name font.
I hate the black socks.
I wish the black jersey would have the gold B.
Essentially, go back to the 70s jerseys (2007 Alternates).

I agree with 90% of the posters on last page..
When I picked Boston in NHL 18 and switched between last years homes and this years the gold socks seem so perfect. I hate the black look, hated it on the old 3rds too.
Like someone said we should be trying not to look like PIT and the gold socks helped that's and looked amazing.
And yes the lettering and numbers are total Chinese knock off looking.
Seeing them in play, person, NHL 18 whatever, didn't like it at first, still don't.
I'd be alright with just going back to gold socks, but please add the black back to the name/numbers too.
Some other teams got it worse tho.

Snicker.
I like the uniform discussion as much as the next guy, but all this angst over socks? Really?

Some of us obsess over this stuff.

So... Folks can't have an opinion? I really don't understand posts like this. It's a discussion forum. The thread is about the uniform changes. Seeing as the socks are probably the biggest change to the Bruin's home jerseys, the majority of the conversation will be about the socks.

they now match the hem/arm stripes. don't really like this either.
At least the diaper effect on the hems is less pronounced now.

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion. I said I don't understand the angst over said opinion, which is two completely different things.
I have an opinion about the uniforms, I'm just not going to go home and start drinking heavily if I don't like them.

I don't think anyone is binge drinking over the socks, the majority just don't like them.

When the Red Sox made changes in 2009, Paplebon and a handful of others spoke out because they were wearing navy socks on the road.
I doubt it, but maybe it's something that can be changed mid season if enough people complain.
Seeing them on the ice, I think the uniform may be worse than the Fleet Center uniforms.
To me, they just don't look like the Bruins with the black socks.

Outside of the Gold B missing I really like the blacks, remind me of the early 90's away jerseys.

That can be done. Just throw a red sock in the away jerseys laundry basket
Not enough difference to complain. Still like the 80s jerseys the best, but doubt they ever head back to those type.

Do the morons who designed this white uniform realize that on TV from a distance it's damn near impossible to distinguish the yellow lines with this stripping pattern? All you see is white and black, especially in the more dimly lit arenas.

Same problem I had with the pretweeked versions.
They look good in still shots and up close.
From a distance, the black swallows the gold up.
The 80s uniforms had it right with the thicker gold stripes and very thin black.

Absolutely. Up close is a non-issue. From a distance terrible.
They should go back to those 80s versions you suggested, socks and jerseys for the road whites.

No it's not, but to not take it into consideration is moronic. It's a real thing and should be a factor when making design decisions.
Anyone who is paid to design sports jerseys and doesn't factor in how they appear on camera during play shouldn't be getting paid to design jerseys.
