It’s a look Penguins legend and owner Mario Lemieux knows well.
Lemieux called it “beautiful” in the video posted to the Penguins Twitter account.
The Hockey Hall of Famer was sent one of the new jerseys and he tried it on in front of his wall of trophies.
The Penguins wore black jerseys with the diagonal “Pittsburgh” text from 1992-97. The 2020-21 version will feature the same script, but will be on a white uniform, signifying a “reverse” take on the classic throwback.
