Matt Madore has an idea for bringing the "old gold" back to the Penguins. Will Sidney Crosby one day really be wearing these colors?

Gary Punzak tells me he started tweaking the Penguins logo to see what it would look like with modernized equipment. He ended up with a whole new concept that should please a lot of Pittsburgh fans. This comes on the heals of the disappointing revelation by a Pens beat writer who says the team will not have a new third next season. I think a lot of folks were hoping for something like this.

Eric Poole offers up his take on a future Winter Classic — otherwise known as the Battle of Pennsylvania — between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Truthfully, it may work just as well outside the context of the outdoor event — just the regular season series between the two franchises. Neat logos either way.
Revival Week wraps up on this Freak Out Friday with the old Pittsburgh Hornets of the American Hockey League. They existed from 1961 until the Penguins franchise was awarded to the city in 1967. Derek Heilmann reimagines their jerseys today as an option for the Pens.
You know this is coming. The NHL and NBC love the Pennsylvania teams, so it's only a matter of time before they meet up in the Winter Classic. And when they do, Nick Burton has a neat pair of jersey designs for them to wear.
Colin May shares a blue Penguins jersey similar to what was used during the team's inaugural season in 1967. Any appetite to see it come back someday?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are the 17th team in Andrew Bourne's NHL makeover series. This look is a neat fusion of designs from the team's history.
