Bruins Share Throwback Logo For Winter Classic Jerseys
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Boston Bruins have yet to release any images of the sweaters they'll be wearing when they head outdoors to take on the Blackhawks in next season's Winter Classic, but on Friday, the team dropped a bit of a teaser.
The Bruins tweeted out an image of an old Bruins logo -- a very old Bruins logo -- stating that the team will be wearing it for this year's Winter Classic.
Check it out:

The full jersey is not yet known, but clearly the Bruins will be paying homage to their history. This B was worn on their sweaters in the 1930s, so it's appropriate to bust out a throwback look for the Original Six matchup. In fact, the Blackhawks will be throwing it back even farther than Boston:
On Jan. 1, 2019, we'll be throwing it back—way back—to the striking sweaters of the 1920s and '30s.
