As a Stanley Cup champion, you can do anything as a team and not hear anything about it. You have a summer filled with immunity. You can’t do anything wrong. Right or wrong, now is probably the best time to unveil a new jersey. Luckily for the Pittsburgh Penguins, they hit this right out of the park.

Gone is the “Vegas gold” as they return to the “Pittsburgh gold” that is used by every other team in town. Could the Vegas gold be utilized by a new expansion team? The “throwback” uniforms are timeless and transcendent. You don’t have to do much to them to make them current.
They announced the jersey change on draft day, a big day for everyone except for the Penguins, who don’t have a pick until the second round. They won’t have the jerseys on stage for day two according to Icethetics. In addition to the new gold jersey, they are also going to be embracing the old white throwback, which was the alternate jersey for a period of time.
The Penguins and their fan base have a lot to look forward to this next season, including their defense of the Stanley Cup. If you talk to some native yinzers though, they’ll tell you that this is the news they have been waiting on.
