The jerseys feature a triangle logo with a penguin skating inside of it and a list of designs that pay homage to the city, including:
A triangle shoulder patch to represent Point State ParkA black monochromatic checker pattern and an igloo to represent the Civic ArenaThree black stripes on the sleeves to mimic the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela riversLetters and numbers representing the historic trolley car system of PittsburghA loop label on the bottom of the jersey that shows an iconic yellow bridge.A blue and white checker pattern from the City flag on the collar.
A Penguins spokesperson said the jersey also pays homage to a beloved generation of players.

It was most recently worn as an alternate jersey during the 2018-19 season and at the 2017 Stadium Series versus cross-state rival Philadelphia,” Evan Schall, Senior Director of Communications for the Pittsburgh Penguins, said.
