The Blackhawks host the Penguins at Soldier Field next winter as part of the NHL's new Stadium Series. But what should they wear? John Elbertson pictures a game without white jerseys. And why not? Red versus gold would look good!
With all the talk about the Sabres going gold with their new third jersey, you have to wonder what other teams might be able to pull it off. The Pittsburgh Penguins have done it before, but not quite like what Nick Burton had in mind. His concept borrows from the Pens' original third jersey from the '90s.

Rarely do we get really neat concept logos on this page. Most folks just put together jersey designs. But Rudolf Vychovaly has a really superb Pittsburgh Penguins logo here. Can't say the same about the jerseys, but definitely a cool bird.

Why aren't the Penguins already wearing these? Tex Fischer has done a great job adapting those classic late '80s sweaters to Reebok's beloved Edge design. Let's see them on the ice already.

Matt Madore has an idea for bringing the "old gold" back to the Penguins. Will Sidney Crosby one day really be wearing these colors?

Gary Punzak tells me he started tweaking the Penguins logo to see what it would look like with modernized equipment. He ended up with a whole new concept that should please a lot of Pittsburgh fans. This comes on the heals of the disappointing revelation by a Pens beat writer who says the team will not have a new third next season. I think a lot of folks were hoping for something like this.

Eric Poole offers up his take on a future Winter Classic — otherwise known as the Battle of Pennsylvania — between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Truthfully, it may work just as well outside the context of the outdoor event — just the regular season series between the two franchises. Neat logos either way.
