The classic uniform of the New England Patriots has been voted as the best in Boston sports history. Despite their recent success, the voters have chosen the old school look as the winner in a bracket of Boston’s best sports uniforms.
In 1985, the Patriots wore red jerseys and iconic “Patriot” helmets, which helped them defeat the “Bobby Orr Bruins Era” uniforms in the final round. The final stats showed that the ’85 uniforms won with a margin of victory of 57-43.
The closest matchup in the bracket was between the 2011 Bruins and Bobby Orr Era Bruins, with only 16 votes separating them out of 3,566 votes. Despite tough competition throughout the competition, including facing challenging opponents and being given a lower seed, the 1985 Patriots uniform emerged as a clear winner.
