The Boston Bruins are making a change in regards to their uniform choices this season, swapping out their old third uniforms for the ones designed for the 2016 Winter Classic.

Bruins have confirmed that the 2016 Winter Classic jersey is the team's new third jersey. As it should be. — Andy Merritt (@A_Merritt) October 20, 2016

The two third jerseys are very similar, with a black base and a bear across the middle with the words "Boston Bruins" surrounding the bear. The logo on the front of the newer Winter Classic jersey is different, however, with a change in font and a simpler design for the bear. The stripes on the sleeves are different as well, going with one solid gold stripe instead of gold and white.

This obviously should not have much of an effect on the on-ice product, but the jerseys themselves are pretty sleek. It also means that the Bruins will not be returning to a gold-based alternate uniform, which is probably for the best.

The Bruins play their first home game of the season Tuesday night, when they take on the New Jersey Devils. They are 2-1 on the season.
