With their largest weekend of the 12 months in opposition to their crosstown rivals on the horizon, the lads’s hockey staff at Boston School is breaking out a brand new look.
The No. 2-ranked Eagles launched their new alternate jerseys on their social media accounts on Thursday, January 25, and can put on them on Friday, January 26, within the first half of a home-and-home sequence in opposition to Boston College — who occur to be ranked No. 1 within the nation — in a rivalry dubbed “The Battle of Comm Ave.”
The New Stability-manufactured jerseys are largely gold, with a swooping maroon eagle emblem on the entrance. The eagle is rendered in a retro model — a stark distinction to the varsity’s current primary logo — which is sensible given the social media caption on the revealing video: “A tribute to our history.”
The collar of the jersey is stable maroon with white laces. White and maroon stripes run across the waist and sleeves, angling downward on the arms.
The again of the jersey options 5 maroon stars on the again collar. Numbers on the again and sleeves are set in a maroon block font with white outlines, as are the names on the again.
The video BC posted to social media reveals jerseys paired with maroon helmets, pants and gloves. The socks are gold on the high and maroon on the underside, with maroon and white stripes within the center.
The rivalry between BC and BU goes by many various names, together with the Inexperienced Line Rivalry, the B-Line Rivalry and the Battle of Boston. “The Battle of Comm Ave” stems from Commonwealth Avenue, the street that hyperlinks the 2 campuses.
The 2 groups have met no less than twice a 12 months since 1949. BU at the moment leads the sequence with 139 wins, 131 losses and 21 ties.
BC hosts BU at Kelley Rink within the first half of the home-and-home on Friday at 7 p.m. They meet once more at BU’s Agganis Area on Saturday, once more at 7 p.m. ET.
