I don't love the kind of... vest look? with the gold. Colors are sharp - design leaves a bit to be desired IMO.

I like them a lot. I respect that they didn’t just totally dust off a random jersey from the past and actually designed a new sweater.

theyre ok. wanted a robopenguin though. i like that they will wear yellow helmets with them.


These are overrated and boring in my opinion. Dodged a bullet with these, as the nostalgia factor would have faded fast.

kind of agree. personally i think they look really good but i just find them too derivative of the classic rangers jersey. then again, there are very few original designs. which is kind of why i wanted to black robopenguin throwback. a true original.

I must be the only pens fan that likes the robo penguin. I know people associate it with bad ownership but i just find it to be more modern and sleek. It seems like the pens now pretend that 1993-2002 didn't exist.

Yuck. Would have been okay if there was a bottom stripe. Looking at a full picture of the jersey it looks like an ugly t-shirt.

edit: Wearing them on the ice with full equipment they will probably look sharp, but seeing a fan walking around in them I think they look terrible, if that makes any sense.

Ugh, looks like a basketball jersey with a long sleeve undershirt.

The robo-Penguin will become kitsch in another 5-10 years I bet.

Removing the triangle from the pens logo ruins this. Why are they removing the triangle??
You don't wanna know... The artsy fartsy explanation of the jersey that Adidas put out is cringe-worthy at best.

I love reading the corporate releases of these things. I know the intention is supposed to be good, but 99% of the time I'm thinking "who writes this ****? Do you really think people are going to buy into this neatly prepared statement?"

Where do I stand on these jerseys? Not really a fan. As a few people already pointed out, it looked like a basketball jersey with a t-shirt and compression sleeves underneath. Maybe I'll see it a few times on the ice and change my opinion. As of right now, they get a thumb down.
