Well, they've looked like pajamas now so maybe John Tavares likes them. No one does hockey jerseys better than CCM. I believe Nike deserves proper credit with their 2006 Swift uniforms.

And that sleeve striping is straight out of something you'd find at Target. Terrible execution. It's not meant to be a throwback. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By normal I mean is not stencil like on Stadium Series jersey. :) Btw, Pens also removing a bottom stripe compare to Series, which for me wasn't a good move.

hormone Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So the stadium humped the 84 alt and we got this frankenjersey? It’s ok. Glad they went gold. I would have had sleeve numbers to mirror the current set and they need the triangle cause like previously mentioned, it’s the merge of the three rivers. Those would be my perfect changes, but I’ll take it as a pens fan. At least it’s new and something that fits which is more than I can say for most of the thirds. EDIT- didn’t see no hem stripes so that’s another downgrade for me. Just wished it was a color swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Harry Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It looks pretty good. I think the subtle differences from the regular set help it stand out more as a third, while maintaining enough of a link at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt the Sabres sweater could look so much better if the Bison and the swords weren't subject to having to fit inside that circle. Kinda too clip art-ee to me . . . I like the Penguins logo just as it sits on their 3rd sweater, I just would've preferred the original sky blue as mentioned prior. The triangle represents downtown Pittsburgh, where they play. So, it does have meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Should have yellow numbers on the sleeves instead of black numbers on the yoke. The yoke is very crowded, and the sleeves are very empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It's fine. But yea the hem stripe would enhance it. It looks a bit too empty much like the Devils home and roads. Not terrible, just not as good as it should've been What they say(or at least what they told Devils fans) is eliminating the hem stripe draws more attention to the great logo. To me personally it just brings the eye down to notice the strange empty space where something should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things I learn on this chat forum, amazing. It's better than attending Sports Logos University. Okay . . . Perhaps put the triangle on the sleeve(s), like the White Sox once did with their white stocking logo. Separating the triangle from the Skating Penguin gives it the long deserved freedom to do it's own thing, and that I do like. Agree with 'Bayne' who said "ugh, a yellow helmet, not a fan" LoL . . and 'demondg1' . . I do agree that the helmet ought to be black, and the sweater definitely appears lacking without a hem-stripe.

GriffinM6 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I don't mind it, but it could certainly be better. The sleeves look very empty and I agree that there should be a hem stripe. In fact, the Pens' AA team, the Wheeling Nailers unveiled there new alternate based off this one and IMO it's better than the Pens' one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
