Pittsburgh Penguins Jersey History Ranked!

[@MichaelVarlotta]

As a Penguins fan, I don't think Pittsburgh will ever come out with a blue alternate jersey again. I believe Mario Lemuex has stated that they won't bring them back simply because too many players got injured while wearing them as alternate jersey (i.e. Sidney Crosbey) and he feel that blue is cursed for the Penguins now.

[@zugbrugh6472]

Also he wont bring back back robo penguins bc he hates it

[@theresemelodia8759]

That's the best news ever!

[@hellagoodalfredo]

this is a really good series on the channel

[@walterwalters-yt7cp]

just stumbled upon a black penguins 1991 blank, no patches, mint condition....strictly CCM sz 52))) a couple years back; guy was nice enough to let me have it for 100 usd, so I'm extremely partial/particular and do not like any other pens uniform from any other season if its not 90 to 92!

[@jimmyj-514]

Tonight I watched a documentary on Pittsburgh Penguins on the team's KZbin channel called "Pittsburgh is Home | 50 Years of the Pittsburgh Penguins, presented by Vitalant". It is long but worth the time to watch, interesting stories It was really great to see the old powder blue jerseys from back in the day.

[@cosmogamer9914]

as a Pens fan my hands down favourite is the light blue alternate, might be the best jersey of all time. the 2011 winter classic alternate one is a close second for me, i own this one. bought it to wear on a whim on my way to the stadium to see the pens play the devils in new jersey

[@alow8706]

I agree Neil. The gradient penguins jersey just reminds me of the good Jagr times.

[@polarbearmeme6945]

My favorite team 🐧🐧🐧

[@polarbearmeme6945]

Also my dad has a game jersey that is the one that u picked as your number one

[@SomeOne-qm4xd]

My team! Neil theses are great!!!

[@cooperbadger11]

Great Series! Can't wait for the Avs episode!

[@sitboaf]

As a Bruins fan, I like the Pens in everything BUT black and gold, so I can almost reverse your rankings. That 2000s color is officially called "Vegas Gold." Welp, can't go back to THAT name...

[@PfabDesign]

As a pens fan myself my favorite is the 95 alternate robo penguin. Still have mine. I bought the 2008 WC before it was a WC from a Canadian website. Was really upset when it became “mainstream” with a WC release. Also feel the panthers ripped that style for their alternate as well. Pretty sure the Flyers are next as they entered the league the same time as Pittsburgh.

[@danw4765]

The 08 winter classic is my favourite it needs to comback in adidas I would buy it. Keep up the amazing work

[@emblemanic8553]

i think my favorite is the reverse retro. i get the beefy penguin AND the word mark which reminds me of that snoop dogg video.

[@letsgopens2975]

The next team to join was the islanders in 1972. Then Calgary in 1980, New Jersey in 1982, Washington in 1974, and Edmonton in 1979

[@Mickelraven]

Buffalo and Vancouver first! They came in 1970.

[@Ghost-Of-Kyiv-]

Robo Pens 95-97 ccm is the best jersey ever made i just ordered Jagr and a Lemieux for my wife. CAN'T WAIT

[@HockeyGUY66871]

As a diehard Penguins fan i was waiting for this. And clicked as soon as i saw it. Sorry I just saw it now since I dont have too much time on my hands with having a full time job. And work 8 hrs a day. The robo jersey is the best in my opinion.

[@whoismarkk]

im so happy that i have number #1 in my collection. easily my favourite jersey of all time

[@scawfan75]

They should bring back the robo-penguin logo as a shoulder patch like they did with their 1st version of the Vegas gold uniform

[@michaeltinley3247]

Love these Neil. Good work as always

[@bokibologna5601]

As a penguins fan I honestly hate the robo pen logo on the front of jerseys. I think the logo should only ever be a shoulder patch and a secondary logo. It’s what it was to me when I started watching hockey in 2003. I like the gradient jersey as an alternate I just hate the robo pen on the front of it.

[@chriswoodsofficial]

i hope pittsburgh never changes their colors again because i think it is so cool that all pittsburgh teams are black and yellow. also i love the logo on the yellow alt jersey more than the current with the triangle, and i think they should put the 90s logo on the shoulders it would be badass

[@PERCANGLE412]

8:20 just found a jagr one on eBay can’t wait for it to come in

[@tyler.harford6479]

Actually the pens alternate jersey is based on the yellow away jersey they wore in 1981 before they switched to the white, instead of being based on the stadium series. And I agree, as a pens fan I hated the jersey when they released it but I loved it when I saw them play in it in person and had to get it for myself. 🐧

[@kalemacpherson2270]

Neil can you rate the old WHA jerseys at some point?

[@Post2PostProductions]

If I can find good photos, yup!

[@ssmith87]

Penguins being my favorite team. I think their current jerseys are the best. Both the 2008 & 2011 winter classics are fantastic. Love their original diagonal word marking. I also love the current 3rd jersey. I hated the “Vegas” gold color and the design that Reebok did was horrible. Anything robo penguin sucks to me. I have a few of them and the one that you liked the most, I have a Jaromir Jagr in that one. I have an authentic Lemieux black diagonal jersey and an authentic Darius Kasparaitis white robo penguin. I didn’t care for the reverse retro at first, but when I bought one it was way better in person.

[@romogaming2451]

I have the 2011 and the 1995! Love both!

[@mightyjerseys93]

Can’t wait for you to do the Ducks jersey history video! My favorite Pens jersey in franchise history has got to be the classic black jerseys that they resurrected back (CCM & Reebok versions- don’t really dig the stupid half collars on the current Adidas ones)!

[@nathanmcdonald8891]

Penguins getting a new alternate and winter classic series type jersey! I hope one of them is #1

[@AlphaZaius67]

The Vegas Gold ones that they wore from 2002-2007 (the better style one as you put it)... it was actually Vegas Gold. The actual Jerseys were Shiny... so it was nice. It became the Beige/shit brown Color when Reebok changed all the styles to the tight fitting jerseys... the ones that you ranked one lower.

[@joehung1552]

I figured all the font jerseys would be the bottom. I thought the reverse retro was from 93. Edit: You're number 1 is the only one with the robo penguin logo I like. Those robo penguin logo always reminds me of wasted potential and almost losing the team.

[@scawfan75]

They should bring back the robo penguin as a shoulder patch

[@jasonrenaldo8920]

I like these videos. It’s been so long since you done the last… you could rank the Islanders?! They came into league after Penguins.

[@darthslater8722]

I have one of those yellow adidas alternates and I liked it a lot when I first got it but once I wore it and had it a while I started to not like it. And I also have 3 of those gradients that you have listed number one. A jagr a kasparaitis and a blank those are my favorite

[@noiisserpmii]

The 2 WCs are the best for me. NYR fan so i hate them but those 2 jerseys look great.

[@nashsereda4793]

Hot take the reverse retro is the best Pittsburgh jersey

[@Stampeders08]

I agree with your top 3. I’m lucky enough to have #2&3 but sadly don’t have #1😭

[@letsgopens2975]

I have a book that says when every team joined the nhl

[@VerseVault324]

Favorite teammmm

[@williamyokum9802]

Are the T,U and R actually different shades on the reverse retro, or is that just lighting

[@lazzy2012]

What jersey would make you get up and dance? The LA Kings “Burger King” jersey

[@f.m3142]

La celeste y blanco muy argentina y me la compre esa por los colores

[@jlongsjo]

i have the 2008 winter classic jersey

[@TheIconKing55]

I strongly dislike the robo penguin but it's currently the only one I don't own lol

[@bayareasportsfan04]

I actually kinda like those previous gen jerseys, with the off-colored yellow/cream color Also I'm excited because my Sharks are next up 👀

[@Post2PostProductions]

Sharks are pretty far from up next. Still at least a couple of teams first. NJD, CGY, EDM, NYI, WSH.

Maybe :)

[@theresemelodia8759]

I think the reverse retro is great. It was love at first sight 💛🖤 I have 5 (or 6) of them. P.S. Lemieux HATES the pigeon (robo) penguin. It's the worst in history

Hello Neil

[@Post2PostProductions]

Hi

[@Daltonian18]

Can't show pics of real jerseys anymore? How is it different from when you rank every home or away jersey in the league? You have real pics in those videos

[@Joshgaming.2009]

Hi Neil

[@Post2PostProductions]

Hi

[@NathanielMiller94]

Do your research and make sure that you know when each jersey was introduced and how long it was worn. It's not that difficult to do, and if you want to call yourself a hockey jersey KZbinr, you'll get it right. Like a poor man's THG.

[@Post2PostProductions]

I did look up the dates and years, but that still leaves room for error. Some of the sites I looked at had conflicting information. That's why I invited the Penguins fans to correct any mistakes in the comments, as also a way to interact with them after the video was over too. This video was not advertised as educational, nor did I claim it in the video. I'm just making videos and having fun. It's unfortunate that you're being THAT critical, but I understand. The insult at the end was not needed though. You could have delivered your feedback without being insulting and rude.

[@anthrax0349]

The Penguins’ current 3rd jerseys are so weak.

[@Hello-pk6rp]

Reverse the order you have. Your number 1 is the worst.

[@theresemelodia8759]

OMG! I hate that fucking logo. Stop with that God awful pigeon logo. 🤢🤢🤢

[@theresemelodia8759]

From what I've heard, Lemieux doesn't like the pigeon logo. Hopefully it never returns. Worst logo in history. I
