The Third Jersey System includes a new jersey and new socks, and is predominantly black.  The jersey itself is black with gold trim at the neck, and has two gold stripes and one white stripe on the arms.  The Bruins secondary logo, which is featured on the shoulders of the primary Bruins jersey, is featured on the chest of the third jersey. Alternately, the Bruins primary logo (the Spoked-B) is located on each shoulder. The socks are black with two gold stripes and one white stripe.

The Bruins are scheduled to wear this Third Jersey System for 16 games (13 home, three away) during the remainder of the 2008-2009 campaign: 11/28 vs. New York Islanders, 11/29 vs. Detroit Red Wings, 12/13 vs. Atlanta Thrashers, 12/20 vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 1/3 vs. Buffalo Sabres, 1/10 vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 1/19 vs. St. Louis Blues, 1/21 @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 1/29 vs. New Jersey Devils, 2/10 vs. San Jose Sharks, 2/24 vs. Florida Panthers, 3/5 vs. Phoenix Coyotes, 3/15 @ Pittsburgh Penguins, 3/31 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning, 4/2 vs. Ottawa Senators and 4/7 @ Ottawa Senators.
