Seeing as how both teams were horrendous in their first several seasons, maybe it would be better to celebrate an era where the two teams were actual playoff contenders, and division rivals who hated each other. While the Caps and Pens were moved to separate divisions in 1993-94, the bitter rivalry lived on for several years. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to throwback to the early 1990s, where the teams had some heated playoff match-ups, and frankly, won some games. Bringing in the history of the series between the Caps and Pens in '91, '92, '94, '95 and '96 might also give the newer and younger Caps fans some understanding of why the longtime Caps faithful despise the Pens. What I think the best part about the Pens wearing their inaugural NHL Jerseyswould be is the return of one of my all time favorite fonts on the back. They used a shadowdrop (also borrowed, some would say, from the Rangers) effect on rounded numbers that just scream 60's! Check out a picture of it; the only thing I've seen that even comes close is the throwback Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys worn by the Tennessee Titans last year. Also, let's see those white pants, Caps! I see your point, but I'm talking in terms of winter classic jerseys. They are basiclly using the same logo as they did last winter classic. The Classic has become a place for teams to dig into the past and do different things with their jerseys. So why do something the already did? And Pens fans here would much rather see the slightly different version of the current skating penguin than a slighly different version of current thirds and what the did in the WC in 08. Also, there is no rule that says home team HAS to wear dark. Occasionaly when we play Toronto they will wear their white thirds at their home ice while we wear our black jerseys. If the pens are going with blues and whites, I too would perfer to see them in white and light blue. those Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys were like pink Red Sox hats. The true sign of people who don't know anything about the team and just hopped on the bandwagon. Plus people bought them because they were the first to be widely counterfeited. I think I can count on one hand the number of legit blue WC jerseys I saw. Well, maybe two if you factor in once it became the third Jerseys. Pens will NOT be using Black and Gold from the 80's and early 90's. Lemieux has already said he does not want to purposely invoke the image of the Lemieux and Jagr led teams of that era onto Crosby, Malkin, and the rest of the current Penguins. It is their time, not his. Now, speaking for myself, I'd love to see the Sunday YellowMLB Jerseys with a twist, but since it looks like they will go to the inaugural season I hope they use the white version with blue striping and maybe switch the Pittsburgh type on the chest to the logo we see above. Or just throw everyone off with something completely different!
