0077: Steel Town in the '70s
New series this weekend. I'm shelving the Winter Classic stuff for a while in favor of Retro Weekends! We'll save it for special throwback-inspired jersey designs like this one from Colin May. The colors call back to the Pittsburgh Penguins from the 1970s. It's actually a neat look.

I like the idea, but when I look at the jersey it reminds me if the Penguins were an airline and this is the airlines logo.
I'm not a fan. However, rather than just simply saying "I don't like it" I think you can improve it by moving the logo down and enlarging it.
Wow these are sick, really like the white one but the designs cool and definitely something that hasn't been seen before.
looks great but the logo on the dark jersey could use a white outline
These are definitely unique and I think that is what I like most about them. Draws inspiration from the late 70 blue design that was simply changed to black and gold in 1980 and while slightly tweaked over the years, similar to what was worn with during the first two cups. Then adding to that design is the element of striping under the skating penguin. I think if these were traditional black/gold or even black/vegas gold, we would have the Pens next unis. Unfortunately, while I am a fan, not all might be...
I like this. It's about 10 billion times better than the ugly home and road jerseys they currently wear.
the wings off the logo look like something a teenage girl would wear in the 90's. I think it would fit Sidney quite well. Aside from that it could be worked into a potential concept.
I like the overall idea, however I'd like to see it using the Black/Yellow Gold color scheme from '80-'92 (wish the Pens would go back to the Yellow Gold) and lose the chest stripe, then you'll have a winner.
Hate it. Don't like seeing the blue anymore... too played out.
