JQK Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 While doing a photoshoot for my radio station today, got to talk to the WBS Pens PR guy... they gave all of us jerseys to wear, and i got their third from last season. While telling the gentleman how much i liked that uniform, he said, "Don't worry... we're getting new ones next year. That's the Road"I immediately lit up. Could this be how their new set looks, and will Pittsburgh go the same route? Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysfan24 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The Penguins need to just go back with black and gold like they had early in the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 So does the triangle template for the jerseys.But in lieu of that...the above jerseys are a 100-fold improvement over the Penguins' current jerseys. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 That shade of gold sucks.Athletic gold > vegas gold 9 out of ten times.Agreed. Vegas gold is such a watery, bland color. Metallic is great for embroidery but seldom any other application. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 When the Pens had the Vegas gold sewn on their pre-Edge jerseys in strips of dazzle nylon, it looked nice, even though I prefer athletic gold for them. Since the Edge rollout, though, they've been a black-and-khaki team.What grinds my gears just as much, though, is that the players' rear numbers overlap the contrasting side panels on many players' jerseys, especially those with a "4" in their number.

oddball Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would love to see the Pens use a metallic gold, maybe something close to what Notre Dame uses or if you want to go a little more on the orangey side, that'd be fine with me. But they need something to brighten up their uniforms and to drop the blue 3rds permanantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This would be way better than what they currently have... although I'd prefer athletic gold.

Lights Out Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'd rather see them go back to their original look:The crest overlapping the yoke sounds like something that has no business working but looked damn good on their white sweaters. (Didn't look as good on their black sweaters with their roundel logo, though.) POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Mario hates the black/athletic gold colour scheme.I don't get why Mario has such an aversion to the colours he primarily played in... Makes zero sense to me. Vegas Gold was fine on the pre-edge set because the material was metallic. On the current set and the above, it looks more like khaki than gold.

maz Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've heard the reason is because he believes those colors represents a certain era/generation in the team's history (late 80's through the 90's) when they had him, Jagr, Francis, Barrasso, Stevens, etc. and should remain in that time. Much the same reason why I believe these jerseys should not be worn by the Penguins right now. I wouldn't be against them going back to athletic gold, and I'm sure nobody else would, being that it is the city's colors and the continuity with the Pirates and Steelers was unique. The only time I'd oppose a return to athletic gold is if its simultaneous with going back to this style, because it would be an exact copy of those "cup era" jerseys. I can understand wanting to have the current colors represent this generation of Penguins, and it really doesn't look bad at all. It was unique from any other team in the league until the Ducks adopted it. Besides, everything in the new building from the seats, to the tiling, to the walls, is in a sort of black-and-vegas-gold scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
