Last season the Penguins brought back the diagonal 'Pittsburgh'-style jerseys, albeit in new colors, for their "reverse retro" alternate jerseys.
This year they'll bring back the diagonal 'Pittsburgh' jerseys in their original colors as their new thirds.
The Penguins on Wednesday revealed their new alternates, identical to the away jerseys worn by the team in the 90s, just replacing the robo-pigeon logo on the shoulder patch with the current logo:
Diagonal Pittsburgh third jerseys are back.... in black!
