BrianLion Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Black has better balance, but I like the green. Black makes then look like Blackhawks stpaddy's day unis.Design aesthetic states the helmet that always matches the pants will look terrific 100% of the time.that must be why teams all wear white pants on the road.

BigBubba Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Unpopular opinion, but I HATE this jersey:I mean, did you even try? It's like they were attempting to make it as Rangers-like as possible. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Outside of the wordmark i dont see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I can see it in the word mark and the socks, other than that it's a fine Pittsburgh-esque uniform.It just really doesn't match up to any Pens sweater with a Triangle on the front though.

SenatorJake Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Unpopular opinion, but I HATE this jersey:I mean, did you even try? It's like they were attempting to make it as Rangers-like as possible.I am definitely not a fan of the Robo Penguin look for Pittsburgh, but it's not like the diagonal script is unprecedented for that team: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they were attempting to make it as Rangers-like as possible.They should have used the logo on the front like the Home counterpart. Would have resulted in the best looking set in their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Outside of the wordmark i dont see it.That's what I was referring to. Drop-shadowed, serifed, diagonal block script? C'mon!

It's like they were attempting to make it as Rangers-like as possible.They would have been ok 3rd jerseys, but I agree, I am just not a fan of those. The logo on the shoulders is far too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordiks_19 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I never understood why they never put the Robot-penguin instead of putting this Rangers-esque wordmark. Like Morgo, that would have benn their best looking set ever, surclassing the Lemieux's cup era by miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If they would just fix that damn beak, the Robo-Pen would be perfect. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they were attempting to make it as Rangers-like as possible.They should have used the logo on the front like the Home counterpart. Would have resulted in the best looking set in their history.They actually wanted to have two home and away sets (like the Mighty Ducks did). They wanted to have one set with the logo and one set with the workmark. The NHL wouldn't let them have 4 jerseys so they used one of each. These are the unused jerseys...

twi Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Re Dallas helmets: They were smart to do black. Color matching helmets is notoriously hard between companies, and even between models in the same company. See Minnesota for proof, of even the Canucks, Leafs, and Lightning to a lesser extent.

Kevin W. Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wait, how were the Mighty Ducks able to get away with it but the Penguins weren't? Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm guessing cause the Penguins wanted to do this before the third jersey program even launched so there was no precedent for a team having 3 jerseys let alone 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Unpopular opinion, but I HATE this jersey:I mean, did you even try? It's like they were attempting to make it as Rangers-like as possible.I actually wrote the Penguins a letter after these were unveiled to complain. My complaint was that the new logo was modern, and then to combine it with a retro-look was a bad idea.I still have the form letter (on official Pens letterhead) they sent back.

TheGrimReaper Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wait, how were the Mighty Ducks able to get away with it but the Penguins weren't?Yeah, Morgo is right. The Penguins wanted to do that in 92, where as the Mighty Ducks introduced the third and fourth jerseys in 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolbe Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I ready hope they don't add an outline to those stars numbers... It would be a downgrade, and rightfully piss off everyone that just bought the new uniforms less than a year ago.because changing the number outline somehow invalidates the team jersey you currently own? most people expect to get more than one season of "accuracy" when they buy a newly re-designed uniform. and since stars authentics weren't made available until around new years anyway, that's only a couple months of accuracy for my nichushkin sweater (assuming the numbers ARE changing, and on both sweaters.)still, i'm not convinced they've made any changes. if they still don't have the number font correct, and they're still using the wrong cut with rounded shoulders, why are we taking their number outlines as gospel?The thing about EA, while the jerseys aren't always 100% correct, they don't traditionally make mistakes with colors. Last year they had the Stars jerseys correct (in terms of no outline around numbers). I don't see them randomly adding an outline without being prompted. I could be wrong, but I can't think of any examples.I agree though, I'd be livid if I bought a Stars jersey last year and they changed the numbers this year. That being said, I'd welcome the black outline, think it would look sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
