The rumors have been floating around that a new third jersey is on the way in Pittsburgh. Could this retro-inspired set by Scott Dempsey be a preview of what's to come?

Everybody's favorite old-school artist is back. Morgo Uxbridge returns to tackle the Pittsburgh Penguins with one of his hand-drawn concepts. I know a lot of Pens fans don't look back on this era with much happiness, but it's still a great-looking logo and these jersey designs are sharp.

Stadium Series Week continues today with a couple of submissions from Mat Ware. First is a set for the Soldier Field game between the Blackhawks and Penguins. Knowing that the NHL is going in a more modern direction with these uniforms, it's unlikely we'll see throwbacks like these on March 1.
The Ducks and Kings unveil their Stadium jerseys today. Here's a look at what Mat hoped to see for this game. Tomorrow we take a look at the New York Stadium Series games.
I always get a kick out of seeing to different artists come up with unusual yet remarkably similar ideas independently. That's what we have for this Outdoor Saturday post. Newcomers Brendan Hennessy (above) and David Parkinson (below) saw the same old photograph depicting the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Black Hawks. It got them thinking about how the Soldier Field Stadium Series game could look.
So who do you think pulled it off better? Or do you like half of each? Both are very well done and could easily work for the big game if you ask me.
In this week of featuring some of Icethetics' most prolific concept designers, we come to an artists who's been submitting work to the site for as long as I can remember. And he's always thinking outside the box. First up, he's got a Flyers concept inspired by the first third jersey of their in-state rival, the Penguins.
After the Coyotes unveiled their third jersey in 2008, they posted some of the unused logo designs that were considered. Brian borrows one of those logos for his Phoenix concept.
Finally, it's not the first time we've seen the Penguins in blue, and it almost surely won't be the last. But with the '90s logo? That's a bit out of place. But it makes for a very cool (pun!) sweater design.
The presentation may leave a little to be desired, but take a look at the actual designs. Jamie Robertson's proposal for the Chicago-based Stadium Series game is kind of interesting. (Though I know at least one Penguins fan who's about to go off in the comments!) What I find interesting is the looks from two completely different eras — not to mention a Hawks jersey that's out of thin air. This one may be a little out there but it certainly caught my eye.
I don't even want to explain why this 2015 Winter Classic concept by John Elbertson belongs on a Freak Out Friday. It's more fun if you look at it a minute and realize on your own.
