Ryan Wilson: The Penguins have a new jersey, sorta, but not really The Penguins have a new jersey, sorta, but not really

Pens sign Jordan Frasca from OHL. 65 pts 44 games, 20 years old.

This is DY+3 so those numbers are very pedestrian.

I actually like this jersey. Haven't bought a new one in a while, might have to get it.

Late bloomer.

Possible but extremely unlikely. Also doesn’t hurt to play on the same team as the number 1 overall pick.

More likely the reason is that he's a 20-year-old playing in his 4th year. Low risk, but probably career AHLer.

Probably will be, but when you trade away picks at a high rate you have to be active in this market and hope one of these signings pan out.

I actually really liked the blue alts (both shades) that we used to have, but there’s some pretty bad memories in them so I’m not really clamoring to have them back. These jerseys stink though. I don’t like the diagonal PITTSBURGH to begin with since I think it’s boring and derivative and think it’s only a legendary jersey among the fanbase because of Snoop. Doing it in blue makes it not feel like a Penguins sweater at all.

But that is literally our first jersey.

Pronman put out an article ranking the best FAs from College, Europe and Junior. Frasca was ranked #7 and had this to say:

7. Jordan Frasca, C, Kingston-OHL
Frasca has been having a huge season on one of the top teams in the CHL. He’s a big center with good puck skills who can create around the net, which is highly appealing from a pro perspective. He won’t win skating contests, but I’ve seen worse feet on guys his size and have seen him beat guys wide.

Doesn't hurt to have these type of gambles in your arsenal.

He has better #'s then Wright, as does another undrafted player on his team, actually both sit well behind 21-year-old Lucas Edmonds.

This is what the Pens blog has been reduced to? A new (frank)ing shirt being sold in stores......(frank)ing Ovaltine....a crumby commercial.....

Outing myself as a youngin I guess but it doesn’t change my opinion that it’s super derivative of the Rangers.

It definitely is.

I got my "how about the (frank)in save" t-shirt.

Ive never liked the blue jerseys (sweaters to some of you) plus I believe them to be cursed...so...

Fvck.

I had heard that the pens would never wear the blue again because sid got hurt in that blue. And the vegas gold left because of geno.

I need to get my hands on the Big Boyle shirt all the players are wearing.

Exactly what I think. Blue is cursed for the Pens. And... While the black Pens diagonal jersey is absolutely a ripoff of the Rags, I still like it.

Those third jersey's from years ago with the pigeon on them was pretty cool. I would have gone that direction instead of more baby blue.

If we do an outdoor game again I would love them to wear the white robo penguin jerseys.

I still like the black diagonal Pittsburgh. I don't really like any of the blue jerseys, except for the first winter classic one, that one was pretty good.

I'd like to see something different.
