The special edition jerseys for the Canadiens game in December feature a patch displaying a Bruins bear marked with the number "100", as well as the date Dec. 1 and the years 1924 and 2024.

The commemorative kit also features gold on the sleeves and socks, which were black in the 2023-24 regular-season jerseys.

Inside the collar of the special uniform, players will wear the final score of the 1924 inaugural game, which the Bruins won 2-1 over the Maroons, according to a press release.

The jerseys also have a special design along the bottom hem, where the words "tradition, grit, passion and heart" are stitched as a representation of the franchise's "core values," according to the team.

The Bruins are the first American NHL team to play an 100th season in the league. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs, which celebrated the anniversary in 2017, and the Montreal Canadiens, which hit the centennial in 2009, have longer franchise histories.

The next three NHL teams to celebrate their centennial anniversaries will be the Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers in 2026.
