Winter Classic storylines

What jerseys will the Boston Bruins wear?

The Bruins will wear a jersey with a shoulder patch the team wore from 1976 until 1995 as the main crest. Boston is arched across the top with a throwback spoked-B on the pants. The team says the arched wordmark idea came from New England amateur hockey, but it feels like a faux-back jersey. That being said, the Bruins look is such a classic one that it’s still a great-looking jersey.

What jerseys will the Pittsburgh Penguins wear?

The Penguins will wear Pittsburgh Pirates jerseys. Yes, that’s right. The Pirates were the first hockey team in Pittsburgh from 1925-1930. They were the first team in Pittsburgh to use a black and gold color scheme that all three professional teams use now. The Pirates eventually moved to Philadelphia for the 1930-31 season. According to the Penguins website, the Bruins protested when the Penguins tried to change from a mainly blue color scheme to black and gold. The Bruins filed a protest with the NHL and the Pirates legacy of using black and gold allowed the Penguins to switch to their now famous black and gold color scheme.
