Penguins dip into the 1990s for latest 3rd jersey

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced yet another “third” jersey for home games Wednesday.

It is a replica of a jersey the team wore for road games in the early- to mid-1990s with “Pittsburgh” spelled diagonally across the chest. Unlike the original, this jersey will have the team’s current “skating” Penguins on the shoulders instead of the upside down “triangle” logo the team adopted in 1992.

This is Penguins’ fifth different “third” jersey since 2017.
