Pittsburgh Penguins new wordmark

I think Tampa uses a very similar, if not identical number font as the Pens.

I don't think so - look at the "4". The Penguins' one has a serif at the top (kinda like the Islanders used in the fishstick era)

Didn't the fishstick Islanders use the same numerals as the motre-bame Brewers? Hard to tell since the Isles' numbers were warped to fit those stupid wave-stripes, but I think they were the same. Cool numbers, though.

Doesn't look like it to me. I was right about the 4, though.

The numerals look the same, but the Pens have a pretty unique texture on their jersey numbers.

Nope. Not the same at all.

The Brewers used the same Germanic font for the numbers that they did on the letters. Here's a "4" for comparison:

The numerals Pittsburgh currently uses (and has since they debuted their awesome alternate jersey):

were originally used by the Islanders from 1991-95 (pre-fisherman):

Ironically, the Tampa Bay Lightning altered that font in their Inaugural Season:

To which they italicized it the following season:

In 1994-95, the Lightning went to the paintbrush font until their 10th Anniversary, which the current numerals were "a salute" the original look of their team.

I want that original name and number font shown above used by the Lightning SO BAD ! ! I've always leaned toward teams that use the lightning bolt, SD Chargers, GS Warriors, TB Lightning, AF Falcons. TB's font in their infancy was the best evar IMHO. Is that available anywhere, (.jpg, .ttf, .png... anywhere ?)
