For the third consecutive season, the Penguins jerseys were produced by Rawlings and gone were the contrasting colored shoulder yokes and lace-up collars. A tri-color v-neck collar and black bottom hem stripe appeared on the home (white) jerseys and a two-color collar and white bottom hem stripe appeared on the road (blue) jerseys. The sleeve stripes were changed to chevrons (an inverted v-shaped mark). The twill and embroidered skating penguin crest was much larger and than the 1972-74 crests on the Rawlings jerseys and the golden triangle was proportionate again.
Inside the neckline is the red Rawlings manufacturer's tag which included the size embroidered on the tag along with washing instructions.
