habsfan1 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Bottom line........at least both teams each have their own colors now. Which is why I'm against Pittsburgh going back to *cough* Athletic Gold full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Bottom line........at least both teams each have their own colors now. Which is why I'm against Pittsburgh going back to *cough* Athletic Gold full time.Considering multiple teams share red & blue, and red & black colour schemes, I really don't think it's a big deal to have two black & athletic gold teams.

Still MIGHTY Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 But the general reception for their new 3rd jersey seems to be that Pens fans want Vegas Gold gone. It should have never arrived. These are fantastic. Way to go, Penguins. I look forward to their eventual rise as your primaries. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Maybe the Ducks could take a hint from this...

Midway Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It's fine, but it's also meh. I do not consider this alternate remotely as sharp as their 02-06 set, which imo was their most solid look. Much better than their current set though.

The_Admiral Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 That set was nice as a TWO THOUSAND! modernization, but they should have returned to their classic colors and logo after that. In fact, they never should have gotten away from them at all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy with Machete Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I agree with some of the other less than enthusiastic posters here. It's a nice jersey but not necessarily something that should become their full time outfit. Instead of some of the truely classic jerseys (say the Habs or even the Devils) it just feels like a product of its era and not something timeless.

The_Admiral Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 What's your ideal for the Penguins, then? Something based on this design but without some of the datedness? I know they could stand to lose the triangles on the breezers, for one thing. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I can't wait to see these on the ice again. I hope it paves the way for a new Pens set. Not necessarily this set, maybe something with the same feel but modernized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Personally I think their currents are far superior to these relics. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanic Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Penguins uni cycle is always like this:Alt introduced.Alt becomes new primary.Another alt introduced.2nd alt becomes new primary.Rinse and repeat.According to this, the current uniforms will be gone in 1-2 years.
