Penguins unveil jersey for Stadium Series game vs. Flyers
The Pittsburgh Penguins’ game against the Philadelphia Flyers Feb. 23 will be special for more than it will be played outdoors at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Penguins, NHL and adidas unveiled Friday morning the jersey the Penguins will wear for the Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The jersey is black with gold numbers, letters and striping. The logo is primarily gold.
A special feature: It proclaims “A GREAT DAY FOR HOCKEY” in block letter stenciling on the back neckline as a tribute to former Penguins coach “Badger” Bob Johnson, who led the team to the Stanley Cup championship in 1991.
The Penguins also will wear the jersey March 17 against the Flyers at PPG Paints Arena.
Jerseys are on sale at PPG Paints Arena, SouthSide Works and the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry Township.
