Pens Announce Unveiling Event
Thursday · Aug 30 · 2007 | 11:31 AM PDTIt's just my luck. No sooner do I post Pittsburgh Penguins concept art when I find out they've announced the official event on their web site. It's true. See it here. Or read it below.

Pens To Unveil New Uniforms On Wednesday
Defenseman Ryan Whitney and forwards Ryan Malone and Maxime Talbot will be on hand as the Pittsburgh Penguins unveil their new uniforms Wednesday, Sept. 5, at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills, just off Route 28 in Tarentum.
The event is open to the public and festivities are expected to begin around 5:30 p.m. with the new uniform unveiling at 6:30 p.m.
All 30 NHL teams will be sporting new uniforms for the 2007-08 season as part of the new Rbk EDGE Uniform System — designed to meet the performance demands of today’s NHL player. The introduction of these new uniforms at the start of season marks the first time in the history of North American professional sports that a uniform innovation has been implemented league-wide.
After more than two years of research, the NHL and Reebok created a uniform system that features technologically-enhanced materials and fabrics that are more breathable, more water-resistant, more comfortable and more compatible with equipment.
The Penguins’ logo and colors will remain the same, although there will be some modifications to the striping, the shoulder areas, the pants and the socks.
Penguins players also will be wearing a special patch for the 2007-08 season that will be displayed for the first time on Sept. 5.
Any idea what the "special patch" is all about? That should be interesting. Looking forward to Wednesday!

15 year stanley cup anniversary
As a pens fan I'm excited. But I already know what the uniform looks like, sans the new patch.
Everything on this site has been accurate so far.
I'm pretty sure the leaked jerseys on here are their new ones.
The patch is probably a 40th Anniversary patch.
I'd figure they would be doing something unique and special for Sydney Crosby since he was the poster boy for all things Edge...
And I agree that the leaks are probably the real deal.
The Special Patch will be a 40th Anniversary Patch.
At least that's my guess.
40th anniversary sounds right for the patch.
40th anniversary sound correct to me.
And i don't think that the leaked jersesy are the ones because they say there is a modification to the shoulders, and those don't have any.
johnson, yes they do have a modification to the shoulders.
The shoulders no longer feature the mid-'90s logo.
40th anniversary
