The Set 2 Alternate (gold) Sandow Sporting Knit Inc. jerseys from the 1982-83 season were recycled to the 1983-84 pre-season and became the Set 1 home jerseys for the 1983-84 regular season. The Road (black) Set 2 jerseys from 1982-83 were likely recycled into the 1983-84 pre-season and became Set 1 Road (black) jerseys for the regular season; however, it is unknown in which games they were worn during the 1983-84 pre-season. With the 1982-83 Sandow Home (white) Set 1 jerseys having the Bastien memorial armband screened onto the left sleeve for the final three games of the regular season, it's likely the reason that white jerseys weren't worn at all during 1983-84.
1983-84 Sandow jerseys featured a tri-color v-neck with white/gold/black striping on the Home (gold) jerseys with gold/white/black neck striping on the Road (black) jerseys. The Home (gold) jerseys featured black sleeves with gold/white/black striping and yellow cuffs. Road (black) sets of jerseys also featured gold sleeves with black/white/gold striping and black cuffs. A black/white/gold/black striping design starting from the bottom of the hem was incorporated on the Home (gold) jerseys. A gold/black/white striping design starting from the bottom of the hem was present on the Road (black) jerseys. The large skating penguin crest was screened onto the front of the jerseys. The 1983-84 Sandow jerseys featured a screened-on crest, shoulder and back numbers and a single-color name screened on the back nameplate.

The Penguins likely began wearing Set 1 jerseys with the start of the 1983-84 pre-season and confirmed to have worn them beginning on September 18, 1983 vs. Detroit at Port Huron, Michigan. The set continued to the end of the regular season on April 1, 1984 vs. Washington. The Home (gold) jerseys were worn in a total of 42 confirmed games with one game (1/21 vs. Washington) unknown while the Road (black) jerseys were worn in a total of 40 games. It should be noted that some Home (gold) jerseys manufactured by CCM made their way onto the ice toward the end of the 1983-84 season, but not enough to be considered a distinct separate set of jerseys. Each individual jersey within the set was worn as allocated by the Pittsburgh Penguins and each jersey should be researched individually to determine exactly when each jersey was worn.
