I became a Penguin fan when they joined the league in 1967. A few years back, my brothers and sister bought me a jersey in the style they wore when I was in the 7th through 10th grade, which coincided with the first four years my favorite player at the time was with the team. So of course they ordered the jersey with the number and name of Jean Pronovost. I liked the logo with the round, black ring encircling the skating penguin.

6:21 - This is the best jerseys they have ever had, and I love more the "Flying Penguin / Robo Penguin" logo more. These jerseys looked both modern & classic at same time. They had attitude but again professional manner = balanced jerseys. And the changing of colors from yellow to gold with sharper white was PERFECT. Why they changed these I just can't accept. I even wish there was a 3rd jersey where they switched the OG Penguins logo with the "Robo Penguin" and vice versa on shoulders. 5:25 - Ah these are the 2nd best they have ever worn. They speak volumes and also makes me remember the dominance of Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr & Ron Francis!

Penguins fan here. I got into hockey in the late 90s, so when they were wearing the black gradient stripe jersey as their main ones. As a result, I absolutely loooove the Robopenguin jerseys and wouldn't mind it at all if it made a comeback (in a more prominent role than the Reverse Retros were, I mean). I'm not the biggest fan of their first Reebok era jerseys, but I don't mind them. I was very glad when they switched back to their classic jerseys. I actually really like the 2 color black and yellow Stadium Series jersey (and I loved the NHL Color Rush series as well, have a couple of Steelers jerseys from that run). Contrary to you, I've never been a fan of powder blue as a main color (be it NHL, NFL, NBA or MLB), but it somehow just works on their 2008 Winter Classic. I also love how they made the 2011 one essentially a Reverse Retro, flipping the dark and powder blue and taking and old, unused (on a jersey) and making it the primary crest. Sure, they might have overdone it a little with the striping, but it still looks great. And that latest one is just pure beauty! As for the wordmark jerseys, I don't mind them at all. I prefer the white original ones to the powder blues. I was never a big fan of the 'Gin and Juice' jerseys until the first reverse retros, and when they did the black version I absolutely loved it. Somehow I think it works better in the Adidas template than the CCM one. Their yellow jerseys are alright, I think. Don't mind them, but I was happy when they changed to different thirds. Don't know why I wrote all this, not sure if I had a point! But yes... pretty awesome jersey history overall, no real missteps to speak of, but a few (I'm looking at you, Reeboks!) that were uninteresting, but those have a couple of Cups to make up for that

Loved that first powder blue jersey. Probably around 15 years ago, I bought the first season jersey from Ebbets Field and it had #9 on the sleeves and the back. Since Hall of Famer Andy Bathgate wore #9 in the Penguins' first season, I had to buy it. Still one of my favourite hockey jerseys.

I'll be the first to admit the Skating Penguin logo is onjectively better by far, but I have a sentimental attachment to the Robo Penguin thanks to my dad, and a relative in Pittsburgh sending him a sweatshirt with a variant of that logo on it. If I ever join the Discord, I'll post that alongside my admittedly small collection of other Pens merch. (I buy a lot for other sports as well as non-sports stuff, so I have limits.) The Robo Pen Reverse Retro is actually a minor point of controversy between me and my mom - I asked for it for my birthday (which is right up against Christmas) last year, and then barely wore it because I determined they weren't likely to reissue any version again because of Mario. I basically treat it as a collectors item...whereas my mom views it as clothing, and expects me to wear it semi-regularly, especially if they're playing. I don't normally wear Pens merch outside of weekends unless they're playing a national game, and because I'm paranoid of ruining a jersey I know I'll have a hard time replacing, I usually just kept wearing the Skating Pen hoodie I bought on my own dime. She thinks that mea s I don't enjoy having it, on some level, when the reality is I want to make it last as long as possible but don't trust things like my own sloppy eating habits.

Personally for me, as a pens fans since I was 4 in '08, the gold is just a nostalgic look for me. I love the current marigold, and would love to see it outline the penguin and have the 2 tone blue jersey. I would love to see the pens in blue again. Also the 2023 winter classic pirates P jersey looked awesome. Would love to see that as our alternate jersey or see another rendition of it.

The green in the collar of that navy Penguins alternate means it is an Indo-Edge rather than a full blown authentic. Basically a half step between the Adidas fan jerseys we get today (which while nicer than the Reebok premiers, the branding of them as “authentics” has misled the consumer for the entire Adidas run) and the on ice authentics.

I never understand why some people don’t like the yellow jerseys. I think they are GORGEOUS. Also, I didn’t really like any of the Vegas gold jerseys personally, and I hated the stadium series jersey, as well as the Wilkes Barre one that is monochromatic. Other than that, every jersey this team has had is beautiful. Possibly the best jersey history of any NHL team

Marigold looks a touch garish on fans in public but on the players on the ice they always pop. My partner adores her Vancouver marigolds and Pittsburgh's 80's style is very similar to those.

Grew up in a Pens family so naturally I love thar black and gold. Grew up remembering the robopen and it's my favorite sports logo of all time. Also grew up with early Vegas gold so I have a big soft spot for that. Sad I've yet to see Robo in person but I will make that happen some day. Interesting trivia literally right off the bed, I never knew that about the owner hating the name Penguins. The script does add to the majesty of that original jersey, I like it a lot.
