New Uniforms
- Thread starter quip
- Start date
I don't believe the current colors will be changed.However, if they do have the rumored new throwback uniform it most likely will be in the 70's early 80's colors.
I hope they follow the pens and now the Pirates and get away from the metallic yellow.
How have the Pens and Pirates gotten away from "metallic yellow"? The last time I checked the Pens are still vegas gold. I guess that's what your're calling metallic? and the Pirates never were.It was mustard for them and that was the 1971 throwback only.
pens have the old yellow in their alternate unis, buccos announced their alternate unis as well (below). Got to stay up on current events bro
I knew all that...The Pirates other four uniforms have the same yellow as the one above.And the Pens regular uniforms are vegas as you know.
Is that official? That would be great news because their alternate uniforms are 100 times nicer looking than their current uniforms.
I will say that it did catch my attention last week when they released the 50th anniversary patch that it was in the old school colors, not the current colors. That's going to look awfully weird on a uniform that is otherwise black and Vegas gold.
The Penguins should definitely go back to the colors they had when they won Cups in '91 and '92. That's a complete no-brainer. In fact, it's almost as long overdue as Pitt making the same choice regarding it's classic uniforms of the 70s and 80s.
The Penguins third jersey should be the gold sweaters they wore in the mid-80s. That would be a sweet third jersey.
Amother good looking third jersey that someone showed me last year would be the sweater that had the silver and gold sublimated stripe going around the sweater with a circle logo (like which appeared on the powder blues) replacing the bank logo Penguin that was on the original sweaters.

When Consol Energy Center opened they should have rebranded and went back the original unis, with blue a major component....I love those uniforms
My biggest issue with the current color combo is the gold. The gold looks terrible in t shirt form and when the students, fans, etc wear that color, it just looks awful and makes the person wearing it look bad too. Basically like "washes the person out"
just not good.
just not good.
A lot of people do not like the metallic gold, it's been a topic of debate for awhile.. The helmets have gotten better,
They should have never gotten away from the old blue uniforms. Always looked better than the black and gold ones, no matter which of the dozen or so black and gold ones you are talking about.
To anyone, what were your thoughts on the Pens logo change in 95 ish? (the triangular Penguin) I never thought it was too bad but the original is so descriptive and distinct that ther was no reason for a change. Similarly, that's how I feel about the Vegas gold. It's not horrible but it was an unnecessary modification. I am a big fan of the dark blue alternates but that's my favorite color.
This gives me a chuckle because it will need to be redesigned if they win the cup this year.
Unfortunately, that won't be a problem. That D corps is wasaaaaaay too weak.

These could be how they'll look!

I think that's only a very vague representation ... Based on what Narduzzi said... I think that's the general idea 3 uniforms that have multiple combos and one other using old throwback colors but not a carbon copy of that era.
Actually, that picture was taken in State College. In an ironic twist, Joe Paterno is off-camera holding a Franco Harris cut out above his head.
It's a little-known fact that JoePa was a Seattle Seahawks fanatic and it was he who came up with the idea to rip off Texas A&M's 12th man tradition. However he and his cronies originally wanted to call it the 12th boy but they were overruled.
