PRESS RELEASE
MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens revealed Friday the jersey they will wear in the 2016 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic®, a game against the Boston Bruins to be played outdoors at Gillette Stadium, home of the NFL’s New England Patriots, in Foxborough, Mass, on January 1, 2016.
The jersey recalls multiple elements related to the Canadiens rich history. The chest stripe is a shade of blue inspired by the first-ever Canadiens jersey worn after their founding in 1909. The central crest features a “CH” with colors inverted from what has been the norm for 90 years.
