The Pittsburgh Penguins showcased their new gold third jerseys during their home opener against the New York Islanders at PPG Paints Arena. These distinctive uniforms are designed to highlight the team’s heritage while celebrating the city of Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Penguins Gold Jersey Details
The new jersey features a striking gold background, adorned with a prominent logo depicting a standalone skating penguin. Additionally, the design includes a unique triangle shoulder patch that symbolizes Point State Park.
- The patch highlights three river waves, representing the Allegheny, Ohio, and Monongahela Rivers.
- A black checker pattern and an igloo element pay homage to the team’s history.
Other design elements of the jersey are inspired by Pittsburgh’s historic trolley car system. The letters and numbers reflect this inspiration, while the bottom loop label showcases an iconic yellow bridge. An inside collar detail features a blue and white checker pattern from Pittsburgh’s city flag and seal, surrounding the name “PITTSBURGH.”
Historical Significance
This “Penguins Gold” color scheme is reminiscent of the team’s iconic looks from the 1980s, particularly during the era of legendary player Mario Lemieux. The jersey served as an alternate during the 2018-19 season and was also worn during the 2017 Stadium Series against Philadelphia.

The Penguins’ third jerseys will be available for fans to purchase exclusively at PensGear and their website from October 9-13. Starting October 14, they will also be sold at DICK’s Sporting Goods and other retail outlets.
