BOSTON - Today, Thursday, November 8, at 10:00 a.m., the Boston Bruins unveiled the new adidas adizero Authentic NHL jersey that will be worn by the team for the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic when the team takes on the Chicago Blackhawks on January 1, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Paying homage to the Bruins' 1930's era uniform, the brown and gold uniform features heritage materials and striping. Highlighting the throwback look, the crest features the classic "B" logo from the team's Home & Away jerseys, created with a two-layer felt application. To complete the theme, the player names and numbers feature two-layer felt materials.
Additional design details include a list of the years that the team has won the Stanley Cup® Championship (1929, 1939, 1941, 1970, 1972, 2011). Each championship year has been set within a shamrock as a nod to Notre Dame Stadium and emblazoned onto the interior neck line.
Boston Bruins Unveil 2019 Bridgestone Winter Classic Jersey
