Not to mention nearly identical uniforms.  Take the Maine uni, and replace
the "M" in the script "Maine" with a script "Bl" and there you go!

P.S. at the 1985 Hockey East tourney (the first) a friend of mine in the
BU band played with the BC band in the 2nd semifinal after BU lost to
Providence in the first semi.  (She had a close HS friend in the BC band,
and they were happy to have another player.)  So not only the same
weekend, the same night!
