 Since boston has four jersey's in rotation i will be doing seperate reviews. one for the home and road and another for the alt and winter classic

Logo: Perfect update of such an iconic logo. in my honest opinion, the bruins should NEVER change their logo ever again. this one is simply perfect for this team. 5/5

Jersey: the home is just simply perfect as is the logo. However the Away jersey isn't as good as the home, the inconsistent lettering (no white space between the black and gold) is an honerable mention but the thing that i don't like the most is the shoulder yoke. Don't get me wrong i love the yoke it's just the choice of colours that throws it off. 4/5

I would personally do what the Kingston Frontenacs did and switch the black and gold on the yoke, then you've got yourself a good lookin' jersey

Here is what i mean



Final Grade: 9/10
Now on the the alternates.

Logo: The third jersey logo works awesome as a shoulder patch but i don't think it is a strong enough logo to be front and centre on a jersey. The winter classic logo is pretty cool but if it was this then it would be perfect for a full time third jersey, it's just the tacky font that the "b" is in that hurts it. for the pair i give them a 3/5

Jerseys: The third jersey just plain sucks. logo aside, the striping is waaaaay too similar to the home, no hem stripes, that gold collar looks just weird, and the lack of a tie up collar. I do like the introduction of black socks for the first time but other than that; back to the drawing board. The winter classic design is the only good fauxback (modified vintage uniform) that has been introduced since the "EDGE Takeover". the only weak link (other than the logo, but we're talking about the jersey it'self) is the plain gold collar. make it brown and you got a winner. for the pair i give them 3.5/5

Final Grade for the alts: 6.5/10
