After going two seasons with no black jersey, it was added back to the uniform for the 1959-60 season. The arm and body stripes on the gold jersey became much thinner while the white jersey remained unchanged. Choices of black or gold pants and mainly black or gold socks made for some interesting combinations over the next five seasons. The white jersey was always matched with the gold socks.

The 1959–60 Boston Bruins season was the Bruins' 36th season in the NHL. The Bruins finished 5th in the league and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season

The 13th National Hockey League All-Star Game was held at Montreal on October 3, 1959. A team of all-stars that included three Bruins, Fern Flaman, Don McKenney and Jerry Toppazzini played against the Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens won 6-1 with McKenney scoring the lone goal for the All-Stars.

Regular Season

After going two seasons with no black jersey, it was added back to the uniform for the 1959-60 season. The arm and body stripes on the gold jersey became much thinner while the white jersey remained unchanged. Choices of black or gold pants and mainly black or gold socks made for some interesting combinations over the next five seasons. The white jersey was always matched with the gold socks.
