  1. Does anyone have any pictures of the Penguins scrapped third jersey from 2003?

    Link

    The Penguins scrapped their plan to unveil a new third jersey in the 2003-04 season.

    It would have been a virtual replica of the Columbia Blue jersey with the circular crest and tie-down collar the team wore, mostly in home games, from 1968-72.

    The hemline would have had striping similar to the 1967 home jerseys.

    The Penguins had reached the late planning stages with the jersey, to the point where a Penguins executive modeled it on ice for a videotape that was earmarked for NHL approval. The jersey was slated to be unveiled in June 2003 as part of the NHL's Vintage Program.

    I'd like to actually see this. I recall the local news showing something at the time...

  2. From what I have seen so far on TV, the Penguins new banners aren't too hot.

    But I'm not entirely sure, as they haven't had a straight shot on them yet. The list banners are mainly Vegas Gold with black and white stripes at the top and bottom, along with a Penguins logo and NHL logo at the bottom. The conference banners are all black, with gold and white stripes at the top and bottom, with the corresponding logo at the bottom. Meaning, banners for the 90's teams have the pidgeon. However, I'm not sure if they use athletic gold or vegas gold on those banners.

    From what I'm seeing now, the cup banners are white, with black and gold stripes. They sort of have the triple championship thing going on, it seems. Again, it wasn't a clear shot on TV.

    "The Penguins will introduce two new banners celebrating their 2007-08 Eastern Conference and Atlantic Division championships, as well as three others commemorating the team?s history of individual achievement.

    Two new banners will list the Penguins? 12 NHL scoring champions, and another will list their five NHL MVP award-winners.

    In an effort to standardize the expanding banner collection, the Penguins also have created new banners for each of the team?s previous championships ? Stanley Cup, Presidents Trophy, conference and division. They all will be on display at the home opener Saturday night."

    So not only are the Pens getting the two 07-08 banners, but all new banners for the previous championships, as well as the new list banners.

    Someone is going to have to take pictures Saturday night.
