Bruins Unveil New Alternate Third Jersey, First One Since 2016-17 Season

The wait is over, Bruins fans, the third jersey is here.

Boston unveiled its new alternate sweater at its season tickets holder’s event Sunday afternoon, which the team will wear 11 times this season beginning Friday, Nov. 29 against the New York Rangers.

This is the first time the B’s have had an alternate jersey since their 2016-17 Winter Classic sweater.

“The new alternate sweater pays homage to the club’s rich heritage, harkening back to the late 1940s, early 1950s era when Bruins legends like Milt Schmidt once styled a gold, varsity block-B as their uniform centerpiece,” according to a team-provided press release. “The new, all-black 2019 alternate features single gold and white stripes around the elbows and bottom of the sweater, and an all-gold collar with gold lettering that matches the Bruins’ current primary jersey. The sleeve and hem stripes are inspired by the Bruins unique numbered front jerseys from 1940-1948.”
