The Penguins wore Cooper jerseys for the second consecutive season in 1986-87. The mesh jerseys featured a tri-color Cooper logo with "Cooper" underneath embroidered on the back right hemline entirely in the bottom yellow hem stripe which differentiates 1986-87 jerseys from their 1985-86 counterparts which had the Cooper logo straddling the bottom black and yellow hem stripes. Opposite the Cooper logo was "CENTURY SPORTS" - the local Pittsburgh lettering company who heat-pressed the numbers and names onto the jerseys.
The jerseys featured V-neck collars - black on the Home (white) jerseys and yellow on the Road (black) jerseys - and player names on the back were screened onto a matching color mesh nameplate above the screened-on player number on the back. Player numbers remained on the shoulders in the U-shaped shoulder yoke above the contrasting yellow sleeve color below. The inside neckline of each jersey featured the three manufacturer's tags including the Cooper / Made in Canada / model # tag over top of the size tag and to the left a red maple leaf logo'd "APPROVED" tag.
