Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins were established in 1924, and are considered a member of the original six teams in the NHL. The first expansion team in the United States, the yellow and brown clad Bruins, played their first game against another expansion team the Montreal Maroons, beating them in Boston 2 to 1.

Bruins fans can buy a Boston Bruins jersey with the famous spoked B and know it has changed little since it was first used in the 1948-49 season.

The original logo had a small number 24 on the left side, signifying the year they were established, and a small 49 on the right, which signified the the then current year. These were removed the next season, and the spoked B you can buy today on Boston Bruins apparel is virtually the same.

By the way, did you know the spokes were in reference to Boston Arenas nickname, the hub. When you buy a Boston Bruin sweatshirt with that famous B logo, you are wearing a symbol of hockey history.

When you buy Boston Bruins t-shirts or other Boston Bruins merchandise, you will be reminded of a rich history which includes 5 Stanley Cups, the second most for any U.S. Team in the NHL.
