1/5

Opponent: Philadelphia Flyers

Venue: Fenway Park

Score: 2-1 Bruins (OT)

The Bruins' first Winter Classic was a memorable one. Shawn Thornton and Daniel Carcillo engaged in the first fight in Winter Classic history. After trailing 1-0 most of the game, the B's tied the score late in the third period and won in overtime on a Marco Sturm goal.

The gold jersey and old-school spoked-B was based off the 1948-49 Bruins uniform. This game also featured one of the best Winter Classic logos, which was placed on the top left of each sweater.

2/5

Opponent: Montreal Canadiens

Venue: Gillette Stadium

Score: Canadiens 5-1

The 2016 Winter Classic is the Bruins' only outdoor loss, but the jerseys were pretty cool.

They're a throwback to the 1924 season -- the B's debut campaign as an NHL franchise. The "Boston" draped across a brown bear with "Bruins" underneath is pretty nice.

3/5

Opponent: Pittsburgh Penguins

Venue: Fenway Park

Score: TBD

The Bruins are returning to Fenway Park for their fourth Winter Classic appearance and first outdoor meeting with the Penguins.

The B's are going back to a black jersey, while the classic bear logo returns and is now on the front of the sweater underneath "Boston". The Winter Classic logo is on the shoulder and there are a couple of gold stripes.

This jersey didn't receive a ton of fanfare when it was announced, but it is, in our opinion, one of the best designs the Bruins have used for an outdoor setting.

4/5

Opponent: Chicago Blackhawks

Venue: Notre Dame Stadium

Score: Bruins 4-2

The Bruins have worn a white jersey in just one of their five outdoor games, and it was the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame.

Boston's uniforms from 1932-36 were the inspiration for this jersey. This version isn't flashy, but it's very well done. The awesome shamrock-shaped 2019 Winter Classic logo adds to the great design. 

5/5

Opponent: Philadelphia Flyers

Venue: Edgewood Tahoe Resort,
Stateline, Nevada

Score: 7-3

The second of two NHL outdoor games at Lake Tahoe was a 2010 Winter Classic rematch, and once again the Bruins prevailed over the Flyers.

The Bruins went back to their gold jersey with a pretty normal-looking spoked-B logo on the front and the memorable bear logo from the 1980s on the shoulder. All the ingredients for an awesome sweater.
