Go steal the Boston lettering off these old rigs and put it on some of the new ones. I wish they would have stuck with this style lettering.
Skip did they change for any specific reason?

I believe the change was under Commissioner Christian, he also changed the color of the apparatus and the design of the seal/patch on the door. Notice the Pierce apparatus was a different color than the previous E-Ones. Many people say he was trying to duplicate a shade of red on the 40s vintage Macks, don't know about why the lettering was changed. If you notice BPD and BEMS dumped that font of lettering also. Someone else may know more specifics (Skip or yelrowekim)
