Penguins going old-school for Winter Classic jerseys

MONTREAL -- The Penguins will be heading outside for the sixth time in franchise history when they play the Bruins in the Winter Classic at Fenway Park on Jan. 2.

While the three Stadium Series games the Penguins have played in have included more modern-looking jerseys, the Winter Classic has typically served as an opportunity for teams to throw it back with their jersey selections.

The Penguins did that in their first two Winter Classic games, wearing the 1968-71 baby blue jerseys with the circular logo for the 2008 Winter Classic in Buffalo, and a jersey that was a fusion of the navy blue coloring of the late 1970s jerseys and the circular logo from the franchise's early years for the 2011 Winter Classic at Heinz Field.
