I have wished for a really long time they would make the 80's jerseys, home and away the alternates. They never listen however.

Seems like they’re content to keep away from those.

Perhaps it’s because they can sell those as vintage and roll out something new and sell those as well.

I used to be so disappointed as a kid when they’d trot those out each October.

When they finally decided to switch when moving to the new building, I was so excited. Careful what you wish for.

I'm just not a fan of the Bruins always going with a new design instead of wearing a throwback. Those 80's threads were beautiful.

Yeah so the leak from the summer is confirmed.

Been waiting for the Gold B to return for some time now.

meh.

This black sock trend needs to go away and fast.

Adidas’ ****ty collars really limit the options.

Yeah, the collar sucks, but you'll probably barely see it on TV.

I'd like to see them go with something from the Orr/O'Reilly/Bourque eras (late 60s-early 90s)

All of the original six teams should go retro and stick with it.

The Bruins and Leafs are the two O6 franchises that have tinkered the most.



Bruins should either be wearing the Orr or Neely era threads.

Yeah I’ve noticed that I hate most of the collars in still shots, but they’re not as bad from a distance.

Best collars I’ve seen are solid on solid with the thin edging around the collar.

Two tone classic collars like Montreal and Chicago are butchered.

I like the idea, but once you realize the 2 stripe instead of 3 stripe pattern is more Penguins than Bruins you can't unsee it and it ruins them.

You’re right. Now all I’ll see with these is the Pittsburgh striping when they wear them

On the couch
2011 Winter Classic was horrid. Hate, hate, HATE the "deflated B" look.
The third jerseys that they wore earlier this decade were bland. Not awful, not great.
The 2016 WC jerseys were sharp. Like Krejci, I like the fuzzy bear.
The 2019 WC and new thirds are fine. Not wow, but not eew.

Frankly, as long as they don't look like absolute poo (or Pooh), I'm fine with any jersey design. Not sure I'll go out and buy one right away. Might see if JC Penny has 2019 WCs.
