Pens Unveil Third Jerseys for 2008-09


WILKES-BARRE, PA – Fans will be seeing blue again during the 2008-09 American Hockey League season at the Wachovia Arena at Casey Plaza, as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will be wearing special white and blue alternate jerseys during select home games this season.

The predominantly white sweaters feature dark blue and light blue sleeves and striping, similar to the colors worn by the Pittsburgh Penguins from the team’s inception in 1967 until January 30, 1980. The word PENGUINS is arched across the chest, leaving a space below the lettering for player numbers.

“Our blue jerseys from the 2004-05 and 2006-07 seasons are undoubtedly the most popular alternate sweaters we have produced in our nine seasons, and fans have been clamoring for us to bring that color scheme back,” said Penguins President Rich Hixon. “We have tried to incorporate the best of the old and new in this season’s alternate sweater, mixing the new Rbk Edge jersey, along and a unique lettering and numbering pattern, with these popular and historic colors.”

The 2008-09 alternate jerseys will be available to purchase in the Penguins Team Store (670 North River Street, Wilkes-Barre, 18705) beginning in early October.

Ugh.

Why not just put their skating penguin logo on the front? That looks like a college hockey jersey.

Well those suck. The execs that first decided to put numbers on the front of hockey jerseys should be shot.

The person who designed them, along with the guy that said "those are really cool!" both need to be fired.

did someone color them in with a highlighter? I think they will glow in the dark.
