Guest Concept Post #77

Boston Bruins Winter Classic Jerseys, by Adam:

Today we have three Bruins Winter Classic concepts by first time contributor Adam, all of which are true throwback jerseys.  I'd love to see the Bruins go with a throwback jersey, I thought the Winter Classic was best when the teams wore actual jerseys from their past, and it lost a bit of it's charm when teams starting making up fauxback jerseys.  This jersey is from 1974-95, and while it's not one of my personal favourites it would be a great option because it the Bruins' longest lasting jersey.  It's also fitting that this concept is posted on the 77th guest concept post, because whenever I see this jersey I think of number 77 Ray Bourque.

The second throwback jersey Adam suggested is much older, dating back to 1949-55.  The logo on this jersey is a great throwback logo, it was used for 22 seasons before the Bruins switched full-time to their famous spoked-B logo, so it has a lengthy history and it simply looks great in my opinion.  The jersey striping once again isn't one of my favourite looks for the Bruins, but I'm sure lots of people would love it.

Adam's final suggestion is my favourite of the three, and it's also the oldest being a throwback to the Bruins very first jersey from 1924-25.  This jersey is actually pretty unique, it's the only brown jersey in NHL history (you could argue that the Bruins 1926-32 jersey was also primarily brown but I've always thought of it as a white jersey).  Not only is this jersey unique but it also has a lot of old-timey charm that's perfect for a Winter Classic, especially the logo.  To be completely historically accurate the pants would have to be tan, but I don't think the brown pants look bad either.

Have a good day!
