Why Bruins wore white jerseys at home for Saturday’s game vs. Rangers

The Boston Bruins shuffled up their wardrobe on home ice Saturday afternoon.

Instead of going with their traditional black sweaters at TD Garden for a nationally-televised matchup against the Rangers, Boston instead donned their white jerseys that are usually worn during road matchups.

While NHL teams have largely worn dark colors for their home uniforms since the 2003-04 season, that color scheme was flipped in earlier decades — with Boston primarily wearing white home jerseys between 1970-71 and the 2002-03 seasons.

With Boston overhauling their jerseys ahead of the 2025-26 season, Bruins vice president of marketing Andrea Mazzarelli said that this current campaign offered the ideal opportunity to switch things up — and pay tribute to the past.
