The Penguins are bringing a familiar shade of blue back into the mix.
Pittsburgh unveiled its Hometown Remix uniforms on Monday, and the new look pulls from the same blue the franchise wore in its inaugural 1967-68 season. It’s a nod to the past with a modern twist, built around a design that leans hard into the city’s visual identity.
The team described the jersey as “Pure pop‑art energy. This Hometown Remix jersey draws from the offset compositions, halftone textures and unmistakable graphic style of the '60s.
The crest gets a pop‑art treatment that gives the Penguins mark a fresh, modern pulse. The shoulder patches deliver the same offset aesthetic: the igloo for the much-loved old Penguins' arena, the triangle for the Three Rivers.
On the hem, Pittsburgh's unique neighborhoods are represented through glorious colors, grounding the jersey in hometown warmth and cultural pride. The numbers on the back leave a lasting impact, with halftone and offset detailing that mirrors the crest's pop‑art language.
The palette feels both classic Penguins and unmistakably iconic. A tribute to a city that isn't afraid to be bold and make it count.”
The club also posted: “The fabric of Pittsburgh. Introducing the Penguins Hometown Remix.”
Sidney Crosby gave the new uniforms his seal of approval as well. The captain posted, “It's a Blue World 🌀” and then followed it with “87 approved 😉”
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the jerseys on the ice. The Penguins are scheduled to wear the Hometown Remix uniforms 10 times this season, beginning Nov. 3 against the Golden Knights.
The full schedule includes Nov. 28 against the Maple Leafs, Dec. 6 against the Sharks, Dec. 18 against the Kraken, Jan. 21 against the Ducks, Feb. 2 against the Lightning, March 9 against the Senators, March 25 against the Devils, March 30 at the Flyers and April 1 against the Islanders.

Penguins Just Created A New Opening For Rutger McGroarty
Rutger McGroarty is back with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after Pittsburgh reassigned the young forward, a move that trims the NHL roster but also keeps the door cracked open for him. Since breaking in during the 2024-25 season, McGroarty has appeared in 34 NHL games and put up four goals and nine points, while his work in the AHL has continued to show why the Penguins view him as a real part of their future.
For now, the assignment gives Pittsburgh a little more flexibility up front and keeps McGroarty in a place where he can keep building confidence and production. He has already shown he can handle the minors with scoring touch and strong underlying numbers over two seasons, so the next step may depend less on what he does in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and more on how the Penguins manage the rest of their roster in the days ahead.

Penguins Loss Just Raised Bigger Questions About Where This Team Is Headed
The loss to the Canadiens did more than add another mark in the standings for Pittsburgh, it sharpened the sense that this season is drifting toward a tougher conversation about direction. There have been bright spots, including Tristan Jarrys consecutive shutouts, but the Penguins have also been living with the kind of uneven play that invites scrutiny from the coach and the front office alike.
Dan Muse now has a team that needs a reset in more ways than one, and the questions around the roster are only getting louder. Trade chatter keeps circling around names like Nikita Kucherov and Dylan Larkin, while the broader NHL landscape keeps moving around Pittsburgh, from Carolinas interest in Simon Edvinsson to the latest international hockey buzz, leaving the Penguins to decide what kind of next step they really want to take.

Penguins Defensive Problems Are Becoming Harder To Ignore
The defensive issues that have followed the Penguins through October were back in plain view after the loss to Montreal, and Dan Muse did not try to soften the picture. Pittsburgh has spent much of the month living with mistakes and breakdowns that turn routine shifts into dangerous moments, and the result has been a team that has struggled to find any consistency in its own end while the rest of the Metropolitan Division sorts itself out around it.
Muses comments fit a larger pattern for a club that has not been able to string together reliable defensive performances, even as the standings continue to tighten. The Penguins have been trying to keep pace in a division where every point matters, but the recurring problems around their net are making the margin for error awfully small, and the next stretch will say plenty about whether these are fixable habits or a more stubborn issue.
