Me LIKEY!!

Pittsburgh Penguin's AHL affiliate, the Wilkes Barre / Scranton Baby Pens revealed their new third jersey yesterday. I totally agree with Paul Bissonnette's assessment (Baby Pen's player who modeled the jersey - shown left), "sick!"

THANKS to Seth from "Empty Netters" for scoring the pic (not even Penguins Insider had that -- perhaps that was an agreement between EN and PI; however, they did provide Bissonnette's "heavy endorsement" of the jersey quoted above!)!!

I really like these jerseys - very SHARP!! But from the sounds of Seth's post, he doesn't seem too impressed:

Basically it looks like all they did was take an old NHL Penguins jersey from the Dave Schultz era and slap "PENGUINS" across the front just in case you forget what team your watching. Kind of like what the Stars did with their home Reebok Edge-Super-Duper-Mega-Ultra-Awesome-Humungo-Women-Will-Want-You Uniform System jerseys.

While we do like the way it looks, the lack of effort in coming up with this is kind of disappointing.

HOCKEY for the Ladies (if you'd like a more female perspective on the look of this jersey) !!

The Wilkes Barre / Scranton also announced their assitant coach yesterday (from Penguins Insider):

As expected, the Penguins announced Todd Reirden as assistant coach today. Turns out the two months he did with the Penguins as a volunteer assistant in the playoffs last year were basically an extended job interview. Needless to say, he impressed.
