Not a big fan at all. Looks cheap.

Why not bring back this logo for once? Lemieux, Francis, Jagr, Kovalev and Straka played their prime in this jersey. Its sure nostalgic and has the current yelow color.

(The fact that he owned a Milan Kraft Robopengiun jersey- a gift from his non-English speaking grandparents- only reinforced the fact that Handshake was correct.)

A Kraft robopen is like the pinnacle of ironic hipster Pendom.

You'd get a pretty penny for that thing.


...if you aren't sentimental.

The only thing the Robopenguin has going for it is I could sketch a reasonable facsimile of it all over every surface throughout elementary and middle school. The Skating Penguin is a little too intricate to copy, but it's superior in every other way. Legendary logo

No way. :laugh: My grandfather got it for me shortly before he passed. I like think he liked Kraft because he was a weird beer-drinking Slovak, and Kraft is from Plzen, home of the best lager in the world. :laugh:

f*** the Robopen and everything it stands for.

Because they're the worst regular jerseys worn in the NHL since the Vancouver Vs.

I really don't get the nostalgia for the Robopen either. Can someone refresh my memory how many Cups we won with that monstrosity?

Various skating pens failed for decades.

I don't want to use success/failure as basis for liking uniforms.

The robo was just not needed. It's a fine enough like shoulder patch or alternate branding. But not good as a main logo. And those away ones with differing striping/fading that met in the back poorly on some numbers.

It's just the worst of the 90s and I love a lot from that time.

If all that happened during the robo-Penguin logo was we didn't win any cups that'd be one thing, but then there's the very public financial difficulties and the general downward trend from Cup contender, to playoff contender, to AHL squad in an NHL jersey in a crumbling arena.

It's just not a great logo / jersey scheme either.

I wasn't going to even get into that, but yeah. I think a lot of us associate that damned thing with Howard Baldwin, dying alive, and the relocation blues.

You know how people used to wig out every time the Pens wore the baby blues because of that stupid Winter Classic almost a decade ago? Heaven help yinz if they pull out the Robopube for an alternate in the near future..
