NeverSayNever Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The Jagr uniform set looks good-- but it's funny when you take sunflower yellow and mix in multiple black and white stripes, the identity starts looking more like the Bees, Hornets or Stingers?

NeverSayNever Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The original PENGUINS color scheme was clearly meant to look "cool" with the choice of the light blue and deep navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 It was actually a decent, fitting identity for a team named the Penguins, but once they tried that black and yellow there was no turning back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think the yellow and white could be reversed so that there's essentially "golden triangles" on the sides. Either way that'd be the best Penguins look. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Not how I would've done it. 29 minutes ago, Thomas said: the 50 year sign puts things in perspective doesn't it , 4 cups in 50 is not many 4 cups in 25 is pretty good though.

T-ROY Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 16 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: Same here. When Jagr finally hangs up his skates (in about a few bazillion years), he can have the athletic gold banner. BTW, I've mocked up my ideal third for the Pens (that I mentioned on the last page): It's a little tribute to the double-blue past, while staying within the soon-to-be current brand. I like it, but the black stripes should be thicker. And I know it wouldn't match the old jersey, but it would look better with a black yoke outlined with white as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wore athletic gold most of his career, but clearly prefers Vegas gold. And now the team is ditching Vegas gold in favor of athletic gold. But given that Mario clearly preferred the Vegas gold (and probably played a role in it sticking around for so long), I'd say keep the banner as-is. A little future prediction because why not... If the return to athletic gold phase lasts, ironically, Mario will still have his #66 hung on a vegas gold banner (which is a color he rarely ever wore) and Crosby might have his #87 hung on an athletic gold banner (which cannot be determined how long he'll be wearing those colors, possibly just a small fraction of his career). Their banner consistency may wind up completely upside down. And if Jagr decides to retire someday, what about him? He never wore vegas gold. It will be funny him having the same banner as Crosby, despite having only played with Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Jagr was removed from the Penguins' Ring of Honor and All-Time Team after he signed with Philadelphia instead of coming back to Pittsburgh like he was promising to. Last time he was playing here, we had to trade him to Washington for Kris Beech, Michael Sivek, and Ross Lupaschuk because he was "dying alive in Pittsbooourgh." That's why we still boo him every time he's here. He shouldn't get a banner. Ever. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Pinstripes Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 9 hours ago, Thomas said: the 50 year sign puts things in perspective doesn't it , 4 cups in 50 is not many We're going to have to disagree here, in the context of the NHL, 4 Cups in 50 years is a very significant achievement. Only six other teams have exceeded Pittsburgh's total, and five of those are Original Six teams. Those clubs had a roughly 40 year head start, yet the Pens have already equaled the Rangers output, and are just two away from Boston and Chicago. We should also remember those Expansion Six teams had none of the advantages of modern NHL expansion. All they had were the Original Six castoffs, and this was before the Eastern European talent was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
