Repost from News & Notes....

Anniversary jersey might have just been officially teased.



Note the old single flag logo on the shoulders with the dimples. That's not something we've worn before.

Also, with CanesProShop being live, we have a better look at the "Vintage Stormy" logo....

Switching to black for home games would make a red 25th anniversary special. Keeping the red home wouldn’t make the anniversary jersey worth much.

Original jersey with big logo, 25th patch, and highlighted with extra silver would work.

Noticed something yesterday and I'm wondering if we have adopted a ribbon detail (like on the flag) as part of our brand for special occasions.... Its been on the All Star Game logo, all of our anniversary logos, the Prospect Showcase logo, and now the Stadium Series. I did some spot checking and its not really a common logo element, so its interesting to see it consistently being used with us.

Other than the Anniversary wording in the inside back collar, how is this jersey any different from the old home ones?

The ones we wore last year?

Different striping pattern and different collar. Also added shoulder patches back to it.

On the waist it had a black stripe instead of the silver, and the flag pattern was sublimated rather than red and black. The spacing on last year's also had a much thinner flag stripe. I always found the old style much more balanced in that regard.

Arm stripes on the throwback are completely different.

As for the collar, last years was black and red. The throwback removes the red from the collar and adds a white trim. The throwback removes the laces.

The Penguins have unofficial ownership of the character in a triangle logo.

Tell that to San Jose... and hell, now that I think about it, Nashville had it on their white jerseys for their first 13 years in the league.

Tell that to San Jose

With the Sharks logo, my eyes are drawn to the fin. That makes the triangle itself more subtle, particular on their road whites (white background blends in).

If there's a way to incorporate Stormy similarly, it would look less like a rip-off of the Pens logo.

Y’all pay so much attention and it’s impressive.

For me it’s like “it’s red and has a swirly on the front of it.” I can’t even tell you if we had the checker pattern on the bottom of our home jerseys last season or not. So I can’t tell you what the difference is between last year’s homes and this new throwback unless I pulled them up side by side (which I will not be doing).

So, you know. Cool alternate I guess.

That's where am I. It looks the same to me. Not that that's a bad thing, but it doesn't live up to the hype of a major anniversary, IMO.

That looks awesome, and you can 110% expect Pens fans to say that it looks too much like their logo, because sports fans gonna be sports fans.
We already pissed off Rags fans with the diagonal text, might as well piss off the Pens as well.

Plus, they stole the 'Cmon cmon cmon lets go Canes' song from us.... so screw em
