Boston Bruins Unveil New Alternate Uniforms for Centennial Celebration
The Boston Bruins have unveiled a brand-new alternate uniform, set to make its debut on December 1 for the Bruins' centennial game. This new look will also serve as the team’s alternate jersey throughout the remainder of the season, adding a fresh yet nostalgic twist to the team’s lineup of uniforms.
The new alternate uniforms have quickly caught the attention of fans, especially with the return of yellow socks—a feature that hasn’t been seen since 2017. This retro detail is part of a design that feels both familiar and updated, with subtle adjustments that set it apart from previous Bruins jerseys. The jersey’s most noticeable change is the removal of the yellow and white shoulder yoke, which gives the alternate a cleaner and more streamlined appearance.
At first glance, the new alternate might look similar to last year’s centennial season home uniforms. However, there are key differences that make this version stand out. The black is a deeper shade, the gold leans more toward a rich yellow, and the sleeve stripes have been simplified. The Bruins have retained their iconic simplified spoked-B crest, which has been updated with these refined colors, harking back to their history while presenting a fresh take.
The Bruins have put thoughtful touches into the design to celebrate their century-long legacy. The inner collar proudly displays the scoreline from the Bruins’ first-ever game, while the inner bottom lining is inscribed with the words “tradition, grit, passion, heart”—a tribute to the core values that have defined the team since its inception.
The centennial theme continues with a special patch, which takes up a prominent spot on the jersey’s chest, with the team's jersey ad relocated to the right shoulder to accommodate it. Meanwhile, the team’s new secondary logo makes its debut on the pants, adding an extra layer of detail that will surely catch fans' attention on the ice.
The new uniform design draws inspiration from the Bruins’ uniforms of the 1970s through the 1990s—a period many fans remember fondly. The deep black and bright yellow tones evoke memories of legends like Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque, and it’s clear that the design team aimed to channel that era’s essence while incorporating modern elements.
Whether or not the Bruins ultimately adopt this design as their full-time look, the new alternates are a fitting tribute to the franchise’s rich legacy and a stylish way to celebrate 100 years of Bruins hockey. As the team takes the ice in these new threads, fans can look forward to a season where tradition and innovation blend seamlessly, creating a look that’s truly worthy of the Black and Gold.
