Even Uni Watch is slobbering over the new uniforms
It’s good to see that the new Bruins uniforms also got a stamp of approval from Paul Lukas’ Uni Watch, the fashion police of professional sports.
BOSTON BRUINS
The Basics: Changing from this and this to this and this.
The Details: The B at the center of the team’s classic spoke/hub logo now has serifs, and the club’s 1920s logo is the basis of a new shoulder patch, which features the team name on the home jersey and the city name on the road jersey.
Uni Watch’s Take: Such a magnificent upgrade that the Uni Watch grounds crew had to spread a tarp across the Uni Watch offices because puddles of drool were beginning to form. The sleeve stripes, the hemline stripes, the lace-up collar, the two-tone shoulder yoke (which evokes the team’s classic era) — this is what a hockey uniform is supposed to look like, people. After all the hand-wringing over what Reebok’s new snug-fit template might do to the game, it turns out that you can barely even see the various stretch panels. A welcome burst of sanity in an increasingly nonsensical uniform world.
Official Uni Watch Grade: A
Amen, brother. Amen.
