devilsfan26 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I really can't divulge any information - as we cherish our solid relationship with Reebok. I can give a bit of a teaser though: The proposed Penguins third is quite a radical design. I have a feeling it will generate strong opinions in either a "love it / hate it" position. Ah that means I'll probably hate it, but I'm interested in seeing it now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akteon Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 When are the release dates for these jerseys? I'm excited now! If its anything like the last couple of seasons, it'll vary depending on the team. Some teams have "fan festivals" during the off-season and have released them there, whereas others have waited until the first games they wear the new jerseys (sometimes not until November for 3rd jerseys). My personal opinion is that sooner is better, not just because I'm impatient, but because I think that gives teams more time to sell them before the season starts. If I recall, when the Bufflaslug was released they did it fairly early and had some record sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 And you never know when teams will "leak" their designs on the web... so be prepared. It could be sooner rather than later. I agree the leaks will begin soon, not everyone is as scrupulous as CryWolf and the IJ folks. The problem is, as soon as there are leaks, they will probably also be fake leaks. The best part about one of the last rounds of new jerseys is when the factories in Indonesia that make the Premiers had some jerseys slip out that made their way to eBay prior to their official release. If I recall correctly someone on this board had a seemingly legit Premier replica of the Coyotes 3rd before it was released they got off eBay. I believe the story was they were singled out at a 'Yotes game and the jersey was confiscated but they were given a replacement auto'd jersey or something like that.

DerbyCoyote Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah I remember that, think it was DesertRat. Out of these new ones the Rangers alt holds most appeal to me. If they go New York or Liberty they can't really miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah I remember that, think it was DesertRat. You're right, it was DesertRat. My recollection was off a bit - they gave him a replacement white Coyotes jersey on the spot and then later gave him an autographed 3rd once it was officially released. It was a great story, you can read it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Pens could potentially have two new jerseys next year. A new third and a new winter classic if they are awarded the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyGagner Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 the NHL already has their nose so far up cindy's keister, do they really need to give the Pens another winter class? ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 The next winter classic should be at skydome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I think Madflava was referring to the report out recently (from a Pitts newspaper I believe) that the NHL are going to have the next Winter Classic be the Ovie vs. Sid show in Heinze field. While I understand them wanting a ratings grab, I think it is a bad move to have the Pens repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So other teams are never going to get the game, great just f'ing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggermatt15 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 My vote is Montreal / Toronto at Rogers Centre. I don't think the game will be at Yankee Stadium because it is hosting a college football bowl game the last week of December. There wouldn't be time to set up the rink for the game. But I feel there should be at least one Canadian team in the 2011 WC. Crosby / Ovechkin is a GREAT idea, but I say wait until 2015 or 2016 for that game.

However I'm not picky, but the next one should be in Canada. How about this for a tease.....Toronto/Montreal at Ivor Wynne Stadium in HAMILTON hahahaha I'm sure Bettman would be all over that...

The only way Toronto is playing in a winter classic is if it's held in one of MLSEL stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Patrick Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 You guys are crazy, LOL! It's going to be the Wild and either the Stars, or the Avalanche at the new Twins stadium (Target Field). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinsChronicles.com Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I would love to see the Penguins bring back the mid-70's white jerseys. They are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensJerseys Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Just got an email from my local hockey shop saying the Pens are sticking with the baby blues for one more year. Anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 That's great. There's nothing wrong with that jersey at all so they SHOULD stick with it. I would like to see them try out the late 70's darker blue style though. That'd be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensJerseys Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 At least it gives me another whole year to save and upgrade my replica to an authentic later on. Speaking of which, I have my WC patch on the wall ~ "Yea" or "Ney" on getting it sewn on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattlestar Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 When it says dallas is "swaping 3rd and white jerseys" do they mean changing the design? Or do they mean the now white home jerseys will be their third/alternate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
